I always thought "It's My Turn" was an original (or 'original') production.

People usually have a vendetta against the full-on vocal version but they're usually longer and have more elements to it for lack of better words. The only exception are two tracks that are identical with 1 version having the vocals slapped onto it.
Nothing against the Angelic dub since both are belters.

I think this is a new development (although not the first time they appear in download stores, and not with a complete discog): Forensic Records on Bandcamp.
-
Remixes by Satoshi Tomiie and Blackwatch of Urban Dwellers' Lover Man here (but prog heads might already know this for ages).
-
Hooj Choons on Bandcamp is new to me, too ("We haven't included Airtight / Prolekult / Lost Language, as it would be too much, but we'll get round to them before long.")
-
Lots of Lee Coombs remixes including unreleased and previously vinyl-only ones here.

You rather slow played this Hooj news, old chap. There's a few things I immediately see on there that are bafflingly missing from their Beatport catalogue (Tata Box Inhibitors - Freet, Salt Tank - The White Isle EP), but the most interesting news for me is that it sounds like we finally get a digital version of Andy Ling - Fixation that's in motherfucking stereo!
In other Andy Ling news, some of his older releases have also quietly turned up on Northern Exposure Recordings on Beatport - the idiots dated the releases as 1996 and 1998 so they don't even show up on the label's front page under Latest Releases. Includes Anuna (Part 2) which was a Sasha & Digger weapon circa late '97. Buyers beware though - I've bought a few things from this label and they often sound like wonky vinyl rips that drift terribly.
I thought NEXP had long disappeared again - interesting and certainly good Andy Ling news (or at least 'it's better than nothing'). The sample for another new one - the Parks & Wilson mixes of The Bell Song (NEXP 041) - don't sound too good: the Lakme Dub sounds muffled but ought to have a crisp kick.
I'm still recovering from the Rhythm Syndicate disappointment in this respect.

Unfortunately not. Only the edited version is in stereo.

If only all digital releases of older tracks were given the same level of time and effort in actually remastering them from the start like what Oliver Lieb has done with his works for the remasters released on Solieb Digital. A few years ago bought a whole lot of his classic stuff from his Bandcamp. Improvements in sound quality are like night and day compared to the original releases.

I can no longer find Choo Choo Records on Beatport and Junodownload, although they (still) exist on Traxsource, and there is a website of their own, very similar to Rhythm Syndicate's, where the discography is available (https://www.choochoorecords.co.uk/). Not sure if this is a new development or I just didn't know (at least as likely).
And a hard agree with GrimReaper, above. Oliver Lieb and also, recently, Roland Klinkenberg may serve as an example to many. Let's hope Barry Jamieson finally gets a ruddy move on with his Fluid 2 Music and does a great job with the Fluid files.
I suppose the big music selling platforms such as Beatport are monopolistically powerful and successful enough to not have to give s about the quality of old stuff they stock (often temporarily, apparently...).
It ought to be compulsory for them, or for the label owners, to make it explicit when files are sourced from vinyl, and extremely bad-quality files ought to be rejected. Except it's not a sound business so one doesn't care.
Websites ought to write firmly voiced opinions about it, or something. Or maybe only the three of us really care.

Not my favourite Starecase remix, I guess they were still finding their feet in '97. I already own it on the Zeitgeist compilation, but it would have been nice to see the Phoney Philosophy Mix available digitally in all its slap bass glory.
