Has anyone heard any of the Rarities and Lost cds put out by dj Robbie Leslie?
Yes! I started with a 6 month subscription to check the series out. It's sooooo good that I've extended to a full year and now I need to sign up for another year. Robbie includes his own remixes/reedits (not reproductions!) of some great classics, which seriously makes you "flashback" to the club scene in the late 70s/early 80s. Robbie is famous for spinning at the Saint in NYC during it's heyday. Plus, he came out to San Francisco to spin on several occasions. I particularly love the volumes where the accent is on early morning music!
His website has a sample of the first volume, which I think is the weakest of the monthly volumes. However, you'll get a taste of the series. I'm trying to connect him with Bernie so maybe we'll hear something on Dance Groove... cross your fingers! If that happens, you'll be in for a nice treat.

I went to the site of robbieleslie and found some good old rare and classics; but still there were a lot of rare songs that were not there. All these songs on his site, and many more rare ones, can be downloaded from audiogalaxy.com.
The benefit with the Rarities and Lost series is that each volume is an entirely mixed approx. 75 minute set. Perfect for those of us who don't have the time and/or talent to create their own mixed sets. Also, many of the versions found in the series are remixes/reedits are done by Robbie himself, along with his DJ friends. Many of these new versions are quite nice.
Don't forget that the sample set on his website is only the first volume in this monthly series.
