Superb... this in the same week as a Hac '88 set!

Where did you get this from? What do you mean by "off-the-board"? The only previous recording I've seen from this night is the poor quality 45min bootleg from the DHP, but the sound quality on these is really good! Whoever made the rips has put clips at the start of some of the them.

Have only listened to the first 3 parts so far...

familiar "way we used to do it" "paradise garage" clip
1. ??? - "let's make a baby"
2. Liz Torres 'Can't Get Enough' ..poss the Dub then Club mix then a live version??
3. Jeanette Thomas 'Shake Your Body'
4. Jamie Principle 'Baby Wants To Ride'
5. ??? - diff mix of above?
6. Adonis 'No way Back' (Club Mix)
7. Rhythim Is Rhythim 'Nude Photo'
8. Marshall Jefferson 'Move Your Body'
9. ??? - "going down"
10. ???
11. Carl Bean 'I Was Born This Way'
12. Cymande 'Bra' (Danny Krivit Re-edit)

Clip from Maestro
13. ESG 'Moody'
14. Moonfou 'Shut Up'
15. Salsoul Orchestra feat MFSB 'Love Is The Message' (Danny Krivit Re-edit)\??? - breifly
16. Loleatta Holloway 'Dreamin''
17. Serious Intention 'You Dont Know' ..What mix?\Lisa Mitchell 'Rescue Me' Acapella
18. Chicago 'Street Player'
19. Rare Earth 'Happy Song Or Dance' (Remix)
20. Fingers Inc. 'Never No More Lonely'
21. Rhythim Is Rhythim 'Strings Of Life'
22. Front Line Orchestra 'Don't Turn Your Back On Me'

23. Bohannon 'Let's Start The Dance'
24. First Choice 'Doctor Love'
25. ??? - know this! mental bock!!!
26. Lenny Williams 'You Got Me Running'
27. Harvey Mason 'Groovin' You'
28. ??? - "take a hit" "hitman"
29. Dee Dee Bridgewater 'Bad For Me'
30. Lenny Williams 'Choosing You'
31. South Shore Commission 'Free Man'
32. ??? - "you"
33. Giorgio Moroder 'I Wanna Rock You'
34. Diana Ross 'Once In The Morning' ..needs confirming
35. ??? - "i love you baby i do" sounds like Jamie Principle

Only problem I had was the 3rd part didn't d\l fully the first time, so had to d\l it again. WinRAR opened them all fine. Check they are all fully downloaded? They should be around the 110\120mb mark apart from the last one which is 161mb.

Looks like it's this unofficial release (there's tracklists too for all but the first part)...

I downloaded this from a blog a couple of weeks ago and meant to post it here. These classic sets keep on popping up

This has well made my Christmas. Many thanks

I made Sarah have a little chortle when I said "I love this tune" as track 11 disc 1 was mixing in; me thinking it was going to be Ten City - That's The Way Love is; the next thing to come from the speakers was "I'm Gay"

Biggest necro of a topic, I know....
