Yeah, but I wonder who actually bought them. Masterbeat has crazy high prices for their downloads. (Compared to say, Amazon, which is 99 cents a track.)
Thanks for the tip DJ Ron! I downloaded the remixes – LOVE them! So cool that Masterbeat offers WAV files – YAY! their prices were 99 cents- the same as iTunes and Amazon except on exclusives…i’m not thrilled but it’s life and you pay to have it first!
