Hi buzzardio - glad you liked the mix.
I dont think its m/o/s - pretty sure the compilation you are after is on the old Journeys By DJ’s label.
Happy Hunting.
Cheers

Its a beauty. There are more from the same time. There are Zap club recordings. I did them. I don’t have them any more. Anyone out there?

Love those Black Cock edits he did. BEWARE recently there have been a whole lot of (poor) bootlegs released, you can tell them by the label colour and type set.
