So it turns out that there was a Rough Trade bonus CD for the recent Underdog compilations. Great, that'll teach me not support other independent record shops.
Anyway, does anyone have this? Is there anyway that anyone could post a copy? Thanks in advance.

I've been meaning to start a thread on this album for a while. I would have loved this comp a few years ago, but now I've tracked down most of the vinyl singles. It looks like the bonus CD is still available.
I'll try to pick this up during the week as I work near Shoreditch. If I find it I'll make it available.

Wow, cool!
Yes, I was surprised that this wasn't mentioned on here or Solesides. It came out in December, I think. Each CD is a limited edition of 500. I think there are only 50 of the Rough Trade CD though.

Also, there are some unreleased tracks on the main CDs, including the "Teardrop" remix.

oh man... I didn't know about these releases (I guess there's a Vol 1 and a Vol 2)
yea - I do have a lot of those tracks, but the unreleased tracks are really intriguing - like the Teardrop remix (which I haven't heard in years) or the "Mix 2" of U2's "Stay"

didnt Lavelle play the 'Teardrop' remix in one of his mixes?
I'd love a copy of that remix - are the cds still available - everywhere has them sold out...

Just copped the 5-disc set! Anyone else who wants one, be quick as there's only 4 left. I'll post a rip of the special disc soon.
Bester - Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention! The promotion of the album was severely lacking if it could pass me by entirely for 3 months.

Fuuuuu... My bonus CD only has 8 tracks, not the 11 listed here. But at least I'm not the only one apparently: www.discogs.com/Underdog-Underdogs-Greatest-Bits-Rough-Trade-Bonus-CD/release/4105840I've got the remix of The Cure & Broadcast elsewhere, so if any kind soul could upload the missing two, we can complete the set! Could MoG help with the Federation one perhaps (I've just tracked down the Broadcast remix)? Federation - Life So Free (Remix by Underdog)

Yea - Thanks Bester ... I didn't know about it either It turned out that the Amoeba Records (or at least one of them out here) had both Vol 1 & 2 in stock, so I ordered them from one of their other locations hopefully I'll get my copy by tomorrow... they didn't seem to know about a bonus disc - so I'm not exactly holding my breath on that one (so it'd be much appreciated for a rip when you get a chance momatt) Just copped the 5-disc set!

The bonus disc is a Rough Trade exclusive, no other shops have had it. But of course you're all welcome to a rip of that. I'm just waiting to find that missing Federation track. I've got the vinyl, but one of you must already have a rip.
So is this all of the Underdog remixes? I can't think of any that are missed out. What a great comp!

d'oh!
Yeah, of course it's an exclusive... kinda had a 'brain fart' about that.
Anyways...
the compilation certainly seems to be nearly all of his remixes... but I think there might be a few instrumental versions not included (if that counts)
and I think (my copies haven't arrived yet) it only has the (unreleased) "Mix 2" of U2's "Stay." Mix one was only available on the "Melon" remix cd, does anyone want that song? It's actually quite good... you know... for a U2 song
