WoW Paul! You really out did yourself today. I enjoy when you share a rarity such as this Megatrax release is. And there has been no shortage of music I enjoy just because I don’t comment often. Everything you release is rare to a degree in my opinion, I’m getting old and so is the music I grew up with (old in “pop” years, not old in terms of relevance). These DJ remix services are especially favorite gems of mine, as are Breakaway and the Burning the Ground, on the Big Pig and Duran Duran Remixes. It’s a blessed Thursday.… Read more »

I have a few other copes from this remix service, if you need them (but I’m sure you have higher quality ones) … I think we would all love it, if you posted a few more of these. Especially DM, PSB, MADONNA, etc.

Either way, this site rocks!!!

PAUL!! I eat this stuff up. You know how much I love mega-mixes and you just have the best ones out there. Thank you for taking such good care of your records. We always get the best sound possible with you and that can be tough, especially with special mixes. You amaze me more than you know. I am LIVING for this release!! Karen is going to love it too. Erasure/Yazoo and Dead Or Alive, cue the massive goosebumps. This has been one hot week. Hell no —— THEY ALL ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Moist and Excited,

Jeff
