Hmmmm.............................I can only guess that they got Emagic's
permission to use their name for this site. May I be so bold as to  submit
my opinion on some of these titles.
1. Most of them have been around for some years.
2. Four of them I have and 2 of them are the worst collections I've ever
paid good money for. ( There was no facility to audition over the net in
those days) The other two are at least 4 years old and in my opinion well
past their use by date.....stylistically.  It's funny that they call "Funky
Drums From Hell" a "new release". What they mean is that it's a new release
on the REX format. I've had that disc for at least 4 years.
 It's version 5 that makes it possible for a new advertising angle from
these guys who are selling some fairly tired titles.  Maybe the new titles
are great. I don't own them all.
Just my opinion. Buyer beware.
