Reviews
Love Is The Message is NOT the album version! Album version is 6+ minutes.- Not sure if I am the only person on this planet having this issue, but regarding track 1-10: at the very end of the track, when the song is faded out completely, I hear a part of the first note of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You". The following release has exactly the same error: Boys Town Gang - Cruisin' The Streets + Disc Charge (the marker for track 3 is placed a bit too late). Looks as if Ben did not use the original production master for "Cruisin' The Streets" (probably because there wasn't one?), but transferred track 2 of the referenced CD.
Boys Town Gang - Cruisin' The Streets contains both tracks of their debut album in full length, but does not contain any errors. 
The version of "You Are In My System" by Robert Palmer is not the original extended version, but the inferior re-recording with new vocals - the same version that appears every time this song is released in extended format. The original version as of yet has never been released to CD.- Edited 16 years agoThird in the series. This time some tracks that were expected ("Boogie Wonderland", "Can You Feel The Force", "Contact", "Get Down"), but also some interesting surprises.
As I took notice of a "Blaze Shelter DJ Mix" of "Fantasy" for the first time, I went hmmm (knowing Blaze from their house tracks and mixes). Is this a house mix? No, it isn't. It was mixed in 70s style: the track was deconstructed and rebuilt using the original sounds.
When I first listened to "Madmen's Discotheque", I could not believe this was a Dutch production being a US club hit.
The inclusion of the live version of "Brick House" rather than the 12" version looks like an error, but this is because of Ben Liebrand's personal memories.
