Yep, it came out on cd as I have the cd right here. One small correction to your post above is that the reason it is a compilation, although its the boys we all love.. is that the tracks were originally released under a myriad of different names (8 just on this release).

>Will pay one arm, or one leg, but probably not both.

Yeah, it's well worth lossing a finger over but not much more... it's got some classics like _Q_, _People Livin' Today_ and _Chile of the Bass Generation_ on it, but it's sounds a little dated in places. Whereas i'm currently listening to Carl Craig's "Elements 89-90" and a lot of the tracks on that still sound fresh today. Still i'm not going to sell my copy of "Earthbeat", and i'm glad enough that I was old enough and wise enough back then to be into this great music back then. :)

Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly that "Tango 'n' Vectif" is Mike P's best work (that I own or have heard), bought it when it first came out and i'm still waiting for him to equal its brilliance. Getting back to Carl Craig he's tracks have the essential ingredients that make them timeless classics... 'funk' & 'soul'. Unfortunately a lot of artists today forget these important elements.
