This collection was another of my favourites from my time at RD. After a successful test in 1998 I was asked to expand the set to a 6CD version. The 5CD set is therefore the rarest, although it features the same tracks that are on the first five discs of the latter version. The booklet features several pictures from an original photoshoot featuring various RD staff and their friends, below is an EXCLUSIVE picture taken from these sessions along with the original advertising leaflet.
