Compiled and Mastered by Ben Liebrand

These are the roots of my career in music. These tracks have determined the path to follow and many of them where revolutionary and truly progressive at the time they where originally released. I have taken the greatest care to come up with the best possible masters, sometimes comparing up to 5 different versions to find out which one sounded the best and most pure. And sometimes even baking the analog master tapes to make them playable again. The heat evaporates the moisture in the coating of the tape. The otherwise moist backing will clog up all parts of the tape recorder the tape touches, leaving a dark glue like substance grinding everything to a halt. After the backing process, the tape becomes playable again and the transfer to digital is performed. Some tracks feature a combination of vocal and dub version just as I used to perform that combination in a live DJ-set. Such a combination features the best parts from the vocal and dub version, capturing the complete feel of what that track meant to me.

This installment of sought after 12" mixes on CD is heavy on the 80s funk classics as well as plenty of 70s disco. It doesn't suffer from an overabundance of repeated titles from other compilations, which is great, and even familiar tracks are very often presented in alternative 12" mixes not previously found on CD. As always, Ben Liebrand masters these classics to perfection. The sound quality is astounding. There are incredible highlights, like the full length version of MJ's Wanna Be Startin Somethin, originally edited by 30 seconds to fit on the Thriller album, a promo 12" mix of Fly Robin Fly, In the Forest by Baby O (never saw this billboard dance hit on CD before), Thelma Houston's "You Used to Hold Me So Tight", and a long version of Natalie Cole's This Will Be.
