Lord Finesse comments on each track:

Lord Finesse - "Keep The Crowd Listening - DJ Premier Remix" (Produced by DJ Premier - 2005)
This DJ Premier remix was originally done for "The Funky Technician Remix" Project, but due to popular demand because it was leaked early out on the internet (not on vinyl or bootleg), we figured we would make it officially available on vinyl only on this Collector's Edition

Lord Finesse - "Stop Sweating The Next Man - Unreleased Remix" (Produced by Lord Finesse - 1992)
This remix was done for the 3rd commercial single from the Giant / Warner Brothers release "The Return Of The Funkyman". This was supposed to be the next single after the "Party Over Here / Yes You May Remix" 12". A 3rd single was never released from that LP, so this has stayed unreleased until now.

Lord Finesse - "Vinyl Athletes - Unreleased Original Version" Featuring A.G. & MURO (Produced by Lord Finesse - 1999)
Due to sample clearance problems this version never saw the light of day. This was the original version and the other version that was released, is actually a 2nd version produced instead due the above sample clearance problems. Originally this appeared on my "Rare & Unreleased" Pt.1 CD, but due to a lot of people asking, here it is on vinyl finally.

Lord Finesse - "MURO Freestyle" (Produced by Lord Finesse - 1998)
This was a freestyle done for the MURO / Lord Finesse "King Of Diggin" mixtape that we now made available for vinyl collectors.

Big L - "I Can't Understand It - Demo Version" (Produced by Showbiz - 1991)
This is another one of his rare demos that were done previous to him signing to Sony Records. This demo was produced by Showbiz.

Lord Finesse - "Isn't He Something - Unreleased Remix" (Produced by Showbiz - 1991)
This was a jazzy remix that was done by Showbiz during the making of "The Return Of The Funkyman", but at the end of the day this remix was never used and archived until now.

Brains - "From Me 2 U - funkyman version" (Produced by Lord Finesse - 1994)
This is an unreleased song for an artist called Brains that was produced by me. It was archived until now.

40 oz. - "Just One Of Those Days - Original Version" (Produced by Lord Finesse - 1993)
This version of "Just One Of Those Days" is the original version that was produced by me. Due to the fact that Mic Geronimo commercially used the Deniece Williams "Free" sample first, the song was eventually remixed. Both versions were eventually archived until this year.

Lord Finesse - "Outro - Awakening interlude" (Produced by Lord Finesse - 1995)
This outro was originally done for "The Awakening" LP. But was later used in a verse for the song "Soul Plan" featuring Roy Ayers.

All songs are mastered by the legendary Tony Dawsey at Masterdisk Studios, NYC.

Run-out groove has:
Side A: "UBR-114-A"
Side B: "UBR-114-B"
