well, this is quite a compilation.
12" remixes that have been mentioned upthread on the first cd, and other non-album tracks.
had no idea it existed until last night.
the rick rubin remix of 'bottom line' is absolutey the one for me.
as per discussion upthread - it was a freebie one sided 12" with the c'mon every beatbox 12", and is totally wonderful.
also, pretty sure the E=MC2 is the Widescreen remix - same remix credit.

who oh why was this 2cd set not released in the uk !

I like "Free" though - it's nice having that on a compilation instead of hunting down the Flashback soundtrack. (Prescient sample: "Once we get out of the '80s, the '90s are gonna make the '60s look like the '50s.")

― birdistheword,

tracked this down, and my head was all 'i know this ... '
of course i did.
it's an early version of one of my fave tracks of theirs.
with that all important sample as mentioned.
the 'song' starts at 2:46.

That Bert Bevans mix of E=mc2 had its intro nicked for "Life is a Rollercoaster" Ronan Keating...

(I've been looking for that version on cd for ooh...)
