"Greatest Fits" : 2001

Mostly all vocal tunes replaced by the instrumental versions in 2005 because...
(1) many data tracks lost forever like most before 2004 by bad DVD backups.
(2) vocal versions are raw mixes and do not have drums in the masters.
(3) too difficult/messy to try to sync-up and mix the two versions together.
(4) re-wrote some of the lyrics along the way (vocals dont match the lyrics files.)
But, will install links here because a couple people had requested put back up.
(** these had enough tracks to re-mix with synth, remove some guitar 2004.)
