This is the best volume yet!! Kudos to you Alex!!

Finally nice to see some version of "Hold It" on CD. That and the extended version to "Living on the Ceiling" are worth the price alone to me.

Looks like a great comp. You don't rarely see Blue Peter on compilations.

Fantastic compilation!!! Keep them coming!!!

Wow! When I first saw the list I thought someone was making it up. Three of the selections were on my last wish list. That's a quarter of the whole CD! I don't see a bad track on there, definately the best in the series so far. Alex, you're the bomb. I just hope the series continues to be viable commercially. I'm going to be good and wait until halloween to post my next wish list!

Still getting the details posted, but it's available for pre-order... you know where...

Alex Rules!!! You came through with a bunch of awesome tracks. Some of my all time favourites finally on official cd. Can't wait to hear:

B-Movie - A Letter From Afar
Tin Tin - Hold It (I'm curious Alex, did you leave the marching soldiers in the beginning?)
Vitamin Z - Burning Flame

Actually, they are all good! Now, it's just the waiting til August 9th that's going to drive me crazy. [:p]

Hey Sean, everyone - thanks for the nice feedback.
Re: Tin Tin - yes the soldiers are still there. Sounds like they were sampled from an old war record or something '1-2-3-4'

Way to go! Having a Belfegore track on CD will be nice! Awesome! Can't wait for the next one, and the next one, and the next one! Quite a nice collection.

Hi Alex.

Will there be a Vol 5 ?
[:)]

[b]Amazing![/b] Keeps getting better!

I sincerely hope there will be a Vol 5, 6, 7, 8...

Excellent!
