^Man! Soo much I've never seen or even new existed, Completionism 101 courtesy the new guy eiki. double thumbs up
You even got the Jukebot, now I really hate you.really angry grinning smiley

I thought there was supposed to be a third head shaped disc released at one time, I guess that was just a rumor then.

Regarding Food, I love DJ Food, his new stuff in particular is very modern psych rockish and I'm feeling that too. I love a lot of the Ninja catalog, still planning on doing my strictly Ninja mix at some point, DJ Food will have to be in there fa sho.

So eiki, I'm curious...

What disc out of the 4 track era box set is yer favorite?

I gotta go with the first disc, he was just a rookie lil kid back then, and still way better than some of the payola junkie DJs that aired back then.

Well my most favorite of all 4 discs is undoubtedly Disc 2, but there are very cool tunes on disc 3 and I can't seem to get enough of Vol1 and 4 which are mixed circa the same time span, since they both are from KMEL Radio, my only concern would be to know what the heck happened to mixes N°1 to 3?

all in all to me the best of his releases since 2008. I mean I didn't appreciate the tee shirt racket to get the free CD,but that's nothing in comparison with the thrill to get my hand on those DVD size packages once I received then back in the days. I also remember that I was staying India when the box set was released. 200 pieces only, and I was about to be sure it would be gone before the sun raises again. So I put my alarm clock early, I went to the web radio office I had the key from (I was their network administrator), and I prayed for getting no power cut at that moment smiling smiley Sports!

Agreed. I was annoyed (and still am, artists do it all the time today) by the "You gotta buy the T-shirt bundle album deal to get the good stuff" package deals. Still, it sorts out the true fans by default. I Think that bundle was the best thing I ever bought from him as well.

The vinyl version of the remixes disc were a bit stripped down (sound quality wise) and disappointing compared to the legit DVD packaged mixes, I hardly ever favor the CD over the LP.

But all in all those mixes are some of my favorite mixes in Shadow's catalog.

Another time when i really felt like shit was when after releasing the "for the last time ever" limited box set of the 4 track era, was announced a month later a Japanese release and later on a best of in vinyl. How much sense does it make to lie to your fans 10 times a year?
