Hydra Beats complete 14 volume collection

Post by dirt_dog »

I recently upgraded my computer which also involved pulling out some old hard drives. Found tons of little projects that I began, but never finished. All these rips came from various sites, blogs, forums, etc. Sorry if I don't give the right credit to the right people, but I can't find any of the info (other than Verge posted up the Godfather Don ones on The T.R.O.Y Blog years ago).

I've spent the last couple days doing some research (mostly at Discogs), properly tagging and searching for the best scans. Some of the rips have multiple scans form multiple sources (hhv.de, rockers.de, discogs.com, rootsvinylguide.com and any other thing that popped up in Google).

enjoy,
dirt

But based on track times and one site I found had them listed, I was able to put them in order according to Discogs and label scans. And since the mp3's weren't tagged I just left it one unknown track out. [...]
Yep, there's one more short track on side A, between "Gator" and "The Hutchinson Joint". It could be that one that's titled Gator or it could be both parts of Gator since they're the shortest ones. I guess it's all open to interpretation, fact is there's one more track pressed on the vinyl.

This is EXACTLY the info I needed. I'll add the track back in tomorrow and reupload that volume. Thanks for the speedy response!
