Shep Pettibone mixes are always welcome. I have been busy compiling a Volume Two series for my own musical pleasure recently after the Dance Masters release in 2021.

I felt it lacked some of the 90’s output.

Thank you so much for this, I’ve been waiting for a great quality version of these mixes.

This was my favorite track from the album and was disappointed there was no video made for it. Thanks for doing this one!!!
