Admin Notes

I love Downtempo remixes, and some of the notable volume for me that i love to play are, volume 2 track A2 of Jimmy Cliff - "I Can See Clearly Now", Volume 3 ( BIZZARE LOVE TRIANGLE - Frente ), Volume 4 ( A1 SMOOTHE SYLK - One on One ), Volume 5 ( A1 YOU GOTTA BE - Des'ree ) this version is also available in other records. and Volume 6 (B2 Do You Believe In Me - Eric Gadd and B3 I Swear - All for One ). volume 6 will be the best of them all. becase of "Do You Believe In Me - Eric Gadd" this cut as high value single record.
