Apparently the tracks that say remix have had the break in them extended. ie
looped a few extra times. It used to bug me too when I couldn't find out who a
particular track was by. Some of the mailorder sites on the web have the artists
listed though. Go to http://www.dustygroove.com/ultimate.htm. THey've got all
the details.

That reminds me, I've asked this before and I don't *think* anyone has answered.
Does anyone know what was on the 2 "missing" UBB LP's and why they are
unavailable.

Speaking of things old-school. I recently saw "Super Rappin" by GM Flash for
sale on a hip-hop web site. I've been after the 12" for years. Does anyone know
if this would be a reissue. I'm going to buy it anyway of course (unless they
don't really have it in stock).
