10th Year Anniversary re-release. Remastered by Sasha & Digweed.
This version does not include "Renaissance" and "How Can I Love You More" by M People, both of which were included on the original release. They were replaced by "Stand Above Me" by OMD, and "I Can't Forget You" by Anthony White.

The cover art was redone by a New York illustration collective known as Vault 49, and new liner notes were contributed by Dom Phillips, editor of Mixmag magazine.

Gold Crown

Sasha & Digweed never pretended that they had mixed it live using vinyl on 2 or 3 decks. Even in the credits on the original 1994 release it states in the credits: "Studio mixed rather than live, featuring various overdubbed effects throughout the mix."They wanted to create something almost perfect, timeless and classic and that's what they did. It's an album, a listening experience, something greater than the sum of it's parts, it's not supposed to replicate a spontaneous club mix.

Yes but it is exactly the kind of music they were playing the clubs. You are stating the obvious if you are talking about mixing. In the clubs they only played vinyl as that is all that was available, although Sasha did play cds of sound effects at the recorded pitch through an external cd player through a channel on the mixer. For the mix the tracks were copied from vinyl and then edited and mixed by Cheeky Paul in his studio, they have never claimed otherwise and it's all in the sleeve notes.

Musically if was totally representative. It's that mainly dark, melodic, progressive house sound that was typically British.

Well ofcourse not, you are staying the obvious there. Sasha was off his head most of the time in those days anyway, his owns words, I'm not being derogatory lol.They wanted to make a statement and made clubbers and she alike sit up and listen.

It's not representative of their live club mixes from the period which were in no way comparable in terms of polish and in some cases impossible because certain parts of many of the tracks were edited to facilitate a smoother mix. It's actually quite deceitful

Totally ! And has stood the test of time for that reason :)

That's because they are bootlegs. . . . . . . .

The best DJ mix, ever. Flawless in every way. The standard by which all other mixes are measured by - and fail. Period. Bloke below probably explains it better... ⬇️ Can I just add that the intro before fluke on second mix is Tomita - a space ship lands emitting silvery light. Cue rush to https://www.discogs.com/Tomita-The-Bermuda-Triangle/release/7101920?ev=item-vc

Malak

Correct but you've only linked to the Italian version of the release, this link takes you to all: https://www.discogs.com/sell/list?sort=price%2Casc&limit=25&master_id=27959&ev=mbBit mean that it wasn't referenced on the Renaissance CDs. Maybe they thought they could get away with it as Tomita was hardly known to clubbers in 1994 haha. Sasha also used bits of it on his debut essential mix in 1994. I do understand the mentally though. Back when everything was vinyl only, many DJs used to keep hidden music they had discovered and wanted to keep to themselves.

25 years old, 60 reviews on Discogs at the time of writing, safely esconsed in dance music legend... what could possibly be left to say about Renaissance: The Mix Collection? Well, let's put to bed the lingering myth that this was the first commercially released mix CD. A quick scan of Discogs would demonstrate it's not even the first commercial mix CD with Sasha's name on it! It was, however, the first major branded club compilation, and is responsible for all those Cream, Ministry Of Sound, Gatecrasher, Godskitchen et al compilations that used to overflow from the shelves of your local supermarket's CD section in the late 1990s.A dubious legacy, you might think, and it may have been so if The Mix Collection's quality wasn't so obvious even 25 years after the fact. Sasha and Digweed's club sets had already been bootlegged to death by 1994 and it was clear that a mere turntable mix wasn't going to raise the stakes on what was already out there in every northern clubber's tape deck. What they did instead set a standard that almost none of the myriad imitators could match. Think about it - how many mix CDs do you own that open with THREE mixes of the same track? Yet this is how they did it, way back in 1994. Throughout the three discs there are numerous blends, overlays and transitions that are still jaw-dropping in their creativity even now. Listening to the PDF Mix of Fluke's Slid blend over Let's Get This Party Started for minutes on end before Justin Robertson's Scat & Sax Frenzy Mix takes back over, you realise you're listening to a striking antecedent for all those fancy dan mash-up mixes of the early 2000s from Soulwax and co. Compare it to the mixing quality on any average rave tape from the early '90s and you realise just how great a leap forward this mix was when it was released, to the point that the vast majority of the mix CDs Renaissance were releasing 10 or 20 years later sounded frighteningly conventional by comparison.But more than just the way it's mixed, what makes The Mix Collection such an enduring classic is the music on display. This really was a sweet spot in the evolution of British house music, where Italian piano drama, US vocal flamboyance and the breakbeaty influence of hardcore were bound together by the hard, trippy, banging sounds of first wave progressive house. So many of these records are absolute stone cold classics, from an era where absolutely anything could be chucked into a track provided you could make it loop. So you have cavernous dub basslines alongside gothic chimes, filthy breaks riding side by side with trancey choral pads, and soaring piano lines, gritty guitar licks and hedonistic sax freakouts all colliding in one kaleodoscopic mix. Sasha and Digweed selected the very finest cuts from the era of 1992-4 to sum up everything Renaissance was and had been, and in doing so created a timeless snapshot of a golden era of dance music, one that exists now only in ever-hazier halcyon memories and the delicate fraying folds of this classic collection.

I don't think Renaissance or S&D ever actively claimed it was the first, but it's a "fact" I've heard in various places down the years. If you listen to the Resident Advisor Exchange interview with Sasha as recently as 2013, the journalist makes a point of asking him about it:RA: You have quite a long history with the format in terms of mix CDs, stemming back to '94, I guess it was, with the Renaissance Mix Collection.Sasha: That was the first one, I guess.RA: What was the official line on that one? Because I'd read differing lines on it. Was it the first fully mixed compilation in the UK, or worldwide, or what was the view on that one?Sasha: I'm not quite sure really. I know it was the first time someone had presented such a package: three CDs... Y'know, all the shops at that time were selling bumper packs of cassette tapes of mixes that had been lifted live from clubs and stuff. And it was us taking that idea but doing it in the studio; doing a studio mix and then packaging it really beautifully and putting it alongside proper CDs on the shelf in HMV.

Mardin

I don't ever remember hearing that they claimed it was the first commercially available DJ mix, just wondered where you heard this?Eg: Mixmag were putting out DJ mix cds as early as 91/92.I do believe Renaissance were the first UK club/brand to put out a commercially available mix cd though.Fact for those that care: At the time of this being released I think Sasha had already parted company with Renaissance. The last time he played for them, in the old days, was the 2nd Birthday party. Read "God is a DJ... but he only warms up for Sasha" by Brendan Blood.

Anararius

Zymbl

I wonder whether or not Sasha and Digweed pretended that they had mixed this live using vinyl with 2 or 3 decks. It's like a spontaneous club mix.;)Brilliant cd btw! ♥

Karg

No they don't claim that....same with Northern Exposure were both done in the studio using something like pro tools

Bliss

this is annoying to search for if you can never learn how to spell Renaissance

Akelevar

I have this on 6 x vinyl but they dont sell on here for some reason and i cant find anywere on internet anyone got any info on it

Saimath

All vinyl versions are bootlegs. It was never released on vinyl by Renaissance.

there are a few different bootlegs / unofficial releases out there. https://www.discogs.com/Various-Untitled/release/250283https://www.discogs.com/Various-Renaissance-The-Mix-Collection-I-II-Sampler/release/257082

Hi there. I also have this on vinyl. I brought it a while back on eBay on a wimm. I have looked at the links below and it appears to be the same one! I’m having a mix with it this morning as I fancied getting them out!! Great vinyl and I’m well chuffed I brought it as I haven’t seen it for sale anywhere before!! RegardsMatt

Rolorel

It's listed here:https://www.discogs.com/Various-Renaissance-The-Mix-Collection-Part-01/release/435559That's cat # SDM 101 , also check SDM 201 and SDM 301

Arthunter

originally came with a buff corded outter slip card sleeve i believe??? ive seen 1 once and lost it on ebay about 10 yrs ago. an early master class of a mix cd .shame it was never released on vinyl. it would be rather costly today i bet .

Runemane

Because they are bootlegs, not official releases with permission of the artists of the labels then discogs has clamped down on such releases. You won't be able to sell them on here, you can try but it will be denied.

Freighton

Yeah i got them look real with renaissance pics on ..im selling mine but dont know how much for in perfect conditions ..any ideas mate what i could sell for

Realistic

Hi, it was released on vinyl but doesn't look like it was by Renaissance, looks like bootlegs: https://www.discogs.com/search/?q=renaissance+mix+collection+vinyl&type=all Discogs are clamping down on unofficial releases though which means it will be difficult to buy and sell them. This is such a shame as so much music that was originally vinyl only doesn't get re-released and if it does the labels charge a fortune or it never comes out digitally on beatport etc.

Vivaral

I have just read your message, just to let you know I brought Sasha and John digweed mix one on vinyl. I got 6 x 12”records, all the tracks are not on there, but a great set!! I can’t see these listed anywhere yet, but thought I would let you know some are about! Regards

Sasha’s Decade In The Mix: The DJ Veteran Talks About Old Times and His New 'Involv3r' Album4/3/2013 by Michaelangelo Matos[SNIP]I know that a lot of early mix CDs were basically done with ProTools. Was that the case with yours? No, they were all handmade. I never used a computer until we started working on them. We recorded three or four mixes in one go and then we’d get that chunk in the computer and take it on to the next three or four [track sequence]. We didn't use it in any kind of complicated way that you go about in making mixed CDs now. If there was any editing done, it was done on the real tape machine on the studio or something.Obviously, you and Digweed weren’t picking every single record together. Did you each take turns putting those strings of tracks together?It's hard to recall it exactly. Definitely it was a collaborative effort, but I had certain records that really mixed together, whether it's three or four or even five or six, and then John would have a load to mix together. We fused together like that. On one CD I did more of the mixing, and on another one, John might have done more of it. A lot of that “Renaissance” CD came from playing out live.

Jelar

Mr.Death

I think people get confused because it's actual vinyl they use but they recorded them into the computer to make the mix, that's how most all digital mixes were made back in the day all the way through the early 2000's.

Umi

Interesting to think that this compilation CD was not mixed properly on 2 turntables and maybe edited using an - Atari ST , maybe an Amiga ?

Snowseeker

Even more interesting that they did it in 1994 and in the intervening 25 years (2019 at time of commenting) just how many mixes of any musical genre have matched it? Matched it in terms of musical flow, track selection, technicality, impact and timelessness. I think there are few (Journeys By DJ: Coldcut - 70 Minutes Of Madness would be one that amazingly was released just 1 year later), especially taking into account all of the factors that make this mix so great. Music is always subjective of course. Nevertheless, this goes down as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, house music mixes.

I am hcv men

Best part of the CD for me is below. Those 3 tracks mixes together absolutely blow my mind!Memphisto - State Of Mind (Quiet Mix), Moonchild - V.O.A.T (Original Mix), Sunscreem - Perfect Motion (Boys Own Mix).

Vivados

No best bit for me defo was bump - into blade runner - and then the crescendo of f - machine, with that breakdown - wowee!

Chinon

So gave a listen to the 2004 remastered version, in its entry it's tagged as 'Progressive House, House, Trance', this one is tagged for some reason as Progressive Trance at the end. So would somebody mind to explain me which part is prog trance in this one apart Age of Love and the commercial State of Grace? Been searching for early 90s prog. trance like e.g. Liebs 'Blueprint' from 1994, and since this one is so praised by everyone and tagged as prog. trance gave it a shot and got disappointed. This is nothing but the pure house. I'm not saying it's bad - it's great, top notch house productions, just check your hearing before tagging it as prog. trance.

Tejar

Why don't you try the Northern Exposure albums mate? They might be up your street a bit morehttp://www.discogs.com/label/244090-Northern-Exposure

Gavinranadar

The re-issue with the 2 M-People tracks replaced is far better. A classic mix, the trancey prog tracks sound very dated now but so way ahead of it's time when it came out.

Lanin

do you really think so? everyone raves about how this is one of the best mixes of all time. going and messing with the tracklist almost seems sacreligous? especially the one the whole album/project was named after! and then the other one is the opening track of cd3! If it was an album i grew up on i think it would probably upset me that they screwed with it like that. and the only reason they did it was licensing and not becasue they thought they were better tracks, as far as i know. So you really recommend picking up the remaster vs original? been looking all over for vs reviews and you're the only one i can find.

Ironfire

You couldn't be any more wrong. The new tracks are shite and ruins the mix for me. Plus the new artwork is aweful.

Gom

I am listening to Disc 1 of the original 1994 version right now on good headphones and I'm enjoying it. It is definitely of its time, but still good enough to carry me away. And, my copy is as near mint as a well-played digipak CD that old is ever going to be, including the tracing paper outer sleeve. I will take a picture of the whole thing ensemble and add it to the excellent page-by-page pics someone else has already posted. I also have Renaissance Part 2, but although the CDs are in good condition, the cover for that is in a much-worse state!

watching to future

This is the family jewels of mixes from the 90's. Protect at all costs, though my kids like pulling it from the sleeve and spreading out the beautiful folded card inner. I'll rip their arms off if they destroy it. Nothing I can say that hasn't been said. I think disc 3 was my favourite or was it 2? Jesus, I need to get it out now. A once a year trip back to heaven awaits.

Well its now 2013 and this Renaissance Mix Collection has certainly stood the test of time. Music comes and goes, we all listen to new albums and artists but for those of us who were fortunate enough to witness the inception of the Mix Collection, it will always have special meaning. Now as we approach the 20 year mark, this Mix Collection still has the ability to transport you back to a dance paradise in a musical tardis painted with the most amazing graffiti, and kicking out tunes to awaken the ghosts. The Mix Collection does not disappoint. It signifies an era and is packed in a presentation case that belongs in a gallery. Its a sensory masterpiece from front to back, from beginning to end. It tells a story and most of all it continues to make me smile. I wonder how many of us have still got a perfectly intact rice paper'esque outer sleeve? :)

Onnell

Best review i read in many moons - Brilliant choice of words my friend. I have two copies of this release, none of them has the ricepaper outer sleeve lol. All the best X

Uylo

certainly not live mixing on any of the 3 cds ! its all done in Pro Tools ! mixes are chopped to suit and tracks extended/looped in order to for clean cut mix... try it yourself if you dont believe me... all inall an absolute Beaut of a Mix and the stuff of legend this Series !

Dalallador

Sasha didn't have Pro-Tools in 1994, in the interview quoted from below regarding Northern Exposure (which came out 2 years later):"I had just got Pro-Tools in the studio"According to Wikipedia Pro-Tools has been around since 1991, but it wasn't used on this release as he didn't have until 1996.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro_Tools

Gardagar

Did they have Pro Tools in 1994?

Shistus

This wasn't done on a 'Pro-Tools', I don't know which software program they used, but it was probably something similar.Sasha & Digweed did use 'Pro-Tools' software for creating the Northern Exposure mixes, Sasha said in an interview:"We did it in the studio on Pro-Tools. There's a lot of tricks we used on there that we couldn't have done live. We were looping certain records and feeding them into filter banks through synths and stuff like that. There's something to be said about the live mix-CD, but this was just something that I wanted to do because I had just got Pro-Tools in the studio and I kind of realised that there was a way to do a mix CD where you could do all the tricks that we did on it."

Feri

Outstanding live mixing, just not too fond of some of the vocals on disc 1. Tracks 4, 7 & 10.

Kazijora

I've always found it interesting that no one mentioned that Sasha actually used both mixes of house stompin' in the mix!Very subtle and clever flowing programming make this compilation an immeasurable and seminal collection of the sound from that era. Now, @ 2010 we are starting to hear the early 90s house sound come back into the mainstream making the cycles even shorter. A fantastic period for dance/house music - electronica and a highly influential compilation that seems to be in a very broad array of peoples collections!

Ienekan

This is the compilation that helped kick start my 15 year obsession with electronic dance music. This was the first “mixed” CD that I purchased; prior to this I had only experienced dance mixes on tape. One afternoon I went to the local record shop to pick up a new mix tape to listen to and I had asked the shop owner to recommend a few different titles to me. One of his recommendations was Sasha & John Digweed “Renaissance:” I looked at the price and about shit. “Renaissance” had only been out for a short while, and personally I don’t recall any kind of hype surrounding its release. At least not in my area. I would never have spent any where near that amount on a mix cd, but the art work intrigued me very much, and added to that fact I had just recently seen Sasha play just a few weeks earlier in Orlando. So off I went with my new purchase. When I got home I inserted the cd into the player and donned a pair of head phones and pressed play. To my delight I was taken on an aural journey that changed my listening habits from that moment on... I will say that if you have never listened to this mix collection thru a pair of good quality head phones, you are missing out on one of the finer pleasures in life. “Renaissance: - The Mix Collection” as I have come to find possesses two amazing abilities. Firstly, when I am completely burned out on EDM and need to take a break for a moment, I can play any one of the three discs and almost instantly I will remember why I started listening to EDM. Secondly, this collection has helped introduce dance/club music to people inexperienced with the genre. The mixing is spot on and quite creative. The track selection is phenomenal and most if not all of these tracks sound just as good today as they did when they were released. One of the comments stated that this was digitally mixed… honestly what commercial release is not digitally mixed? On a final note, I of course purchased the “remastered” edition when it was released a few years back; I was a bit disappointed as they couldn’t secure the rights to a few of the tracks. This made for a different “feel” that the original had.

Granirad

There are just 2 tracks which were both the M-People tunes which were not on the re-release, personally i think they were the worst 2 tracks on it, so i was made up that they got ditched and don't think it takes anything away from the 'feel' of it at all. All the other tracks stood out so much more than either of the 2 M-poople tracks.

Uafrmaine

"This was the first “mixed” CD that I purchased; prior to this I had only experienced dance mixes on tape". I think this was the first official dance mix to be released on CD. Not sure but I think so.

Rollers from Abdun

Well at the risk of being very unpopular (get the lynch mob out now!) heres my views on this release. I Purchased this when it was first released and recently came across it while adding my collection to discogs After reading the comments about it, i decided to give it a good listening while out in the works van the other day. Disk 1 starts promisingly with the 3 excellent mixes of 'Song For Life' followed by 'For What You Dream Of', but then in my opinion, the next 4 tracks plod along with nothing much to keep the listener entertained at all! until the inclusion of 2 of the best 'Junior Boys Own' mixes of the era and the always superb Sasha accamix of 'Remake & Inner City', but again fades somewhat towards the end of the disk, where we find the annoying monotone droll that is Heather Small! Disk 2 again starts off with the excellent 'Fluke - Slid' then all goes a bit to 'progressivly/trancey' for my liking including the dire 'Grace - Not Over Yet' (god i hate this tune, i never realised how much until i heard it again), but then suprisingly ends with the fabulous 'Kym Mazelle - Was That All It Was' - take note Heather! Disk 3 is probaly my favorite, even though it starts with Ms Small's dullcet tones, just about saved by Sasha's QAT remix, a couple by Limbo's finest 'Havana', 'Shawn Christopher' putting Ms Small to shame yet again and the D:Ream reworking of 'EMF - They're Here' all flow together nicely into the classic rave sound of '2 Bad Mice - Bombscare' & the always pleasurable 'It's My Pleasure' All in all disk 3 for me, but i have to say the fold-out package is superb, and NO! i'm not selling my copy!

Mr_Mole

The album that got me into house music. Seminal track listing, amazing programming and mixing, excellent tunes. The true sound of Renaissance, the true sound of Sasha & Digweed. What struck me about this legendary mix was that the tracks used, were the tracks on the bootleg mixtapes from the era, Sasha & Digweed did not compromise at all musically or professionally. Not only that it was well presented and packaged, if I remember the original CD's were over £20, so at the time it was quite expensive but worth every penny. I will be listening to this mix in 20 years time, it really is and was a defining moment in what we call house music. Little Know Fact - Sasha and Diggers used samples from Tomita - The Bermuda Triangle (ARL1-2885)on this mix which in un credited anywhere on the album.

Thorgahuginn

The 'missing track' here that forms the intro to CD2's Mix, is around 2 minutes of the following track:A Space Ship Lands Emitting Silvery LightWhich is from the following release:http://www.discogs.com/Tomita-The-Bermuda-Triangle/release/70978Quite why is it not credited on the track listing I have no idea!

Weernis

Do you have a reference point for the samples used ? Which disc and during which tracks ?thanks, Rob

Puchock

As another poster stated, this is the definitive dance music DJ mix CD. It must also rank within the top 5-10 dance music albums of all time. It has everything: rhythm, soul, energy, and beautifully programmed by Sasha and Digweed. It really is a special album, legendry even, and it kick-started the DJ mix series and none have truly matched this since. One of my friends borrowed this off me and subsequently lost it, forcing mew to buy it again for three times the original price off eBay!!

BoberMod

An important point to be made about this release... Whilst I am well and truly in agreement that this was a ground-breaking compilation,it is perhaps hasty to praise the mixing as so many do.Yes - the sequencing of the tracks featured within should be praised and Sasha & Digweed credited accordingly,but the mixing was all done digitally. This was discovered by a friend of mine who,like many (myself included prior to that point),pondered the question of which DJ mixed which cd.When questioned in the toilets of the Rhumba club in Perth,John Digweed replied that nobody did a particular mix, IT WAS ALL DONE DIGITALLY.

Fordg

Who gives a fuck? Just about every mix CD released over the passed 26 years has been done digitally. Even if recorded live they have been passed through some software to tweak the errors and master the thing. I'm actually quite staggered that you couldn't work this out for yourself.

Flarik

Probably the best mix CD I've ever heard. Three mixes of Leftfield's "Song of Life" in a row? Inspired. It also includes one of my favourite tracks of all time (Moonchild's "Variations on a Theme"). If house music ever had to be represented by one album alone, I would choose this as the ambassador. Sublime stuff. Get it, buy it, steal it, rip it if you don't have it already.

Stonewing

THE seminal DJ mix compilation that thousands of imitators have tried to copy but never came close. For me this was when Progressive House peaked. It was music that rocked and was banging but at the same time it had funk, it had soul and it had a great musical variation. Sadly in my opinion these two DJs never matched these heights again and went more and more up their own arses, along with the scene that spawned them. Infact Progressive House became so dull it needed exterminating, full of epic/sweeping/tribal nonsense. But let's not forget what a great mix CD this is and it definitely will go down as one of the greatest compilations in dance music. It's that good that it can convert the unconvertable & it still rocks and moves people today. A tremendous, diverse and not obvious choice of tunes, beautifully & seamless mixed. Infact the thought and preparation that went into this whole package was incredible and it deserves all the accolades it receives. Mixmag even included it in their top 50 dance albums of all time along with greats such as Massive Attack, Leftfield, Public Enemy, Bjork etc, even though strictly speaking it's not an album at all. This compilation proves more than anything that banging, pumping dance/club music can be as interesting and varied as any other musical genre & still sound so beautiful in a living room as it does in a club.

Gajurus

The best compilation ever - hands down. The bassplayer in my old band got a job as press officer at Network Records and decided to send me some of the labels music - and this comp was part of the package (as a double pack cassette!!!). I was so ignorant of the club/dance music world that I thought Sasha was a GIRL at first! Needless to say it blew my head off - electronic music with real soul and depth. If ever I tire of the current scene I only have to dig this out to remind myself of how this music can make you feel. Amazing.........and it taught me Sasha was a bloke too!

Gorisar

I dug up this CD today on the thought that "haven't heard that for ages". Looking at the back I realise that this is from 94! Sh#t was it really that long ago. Anyway just listening to a few tracks on the first CD still brings funny shivering feeling down my back again. The sound sounds as fresh now as it did then. As an uplifting house & trance lover this CD just brings it all back. No cheese here this is a masterpiece. They don't make compilations like this anymore.

ℓo√ﻉ

When I first heard each of the 3 cd's, I was a little dissapointed, having expected something similar to the Northern Exposure Series. These cd's were released before Northern Exposure and as such have earlier tracks on them. Upon further listens I have decided that I very much like all 3 cd's, the third being my favourite followed by disc 1 and then disc 2! As some of the previous reviewers have mentioned this is uplifting house, and I daresay there is a trance influence particularly on the third cd!! And by the way, I only tend to write reviews for the cd's that I like, so almost all of my reviews are good :) Aah yes and the mixing on all 3 cd's is second to none.

HappyLove

Set the template for all others to follow with it's track selection and fine mixing, who else at the time would mix three versions of the same track on the opening CD. If you don't own a copy, buy, beg or steal!

Hamrl

This is more than just a mix compelation, its clubland history and a something to be treasured. Also a landmark as it protrays the rebirth of electronic music after the early "rave" scene had grown stale. This is uplifting epic house at its finest. And not a duff track in three CDs makes it a masterpiece.

MOQ

Too True, this was one of the first mix cd's i purchased and is still the best. Not cheap at the time of release but well worth it. The packaging was fantastic with lush renaissance artwork designs and what can only de described as a tracing paper sleeve. Each disc is packed with timeless classic and many still don't sound dated. Overall pure class. Happy Days!
