Out of Control [DJ Wag Club Mix] by Pro-Tech

I've got a bunch of Pro-Tech songs with the big DJ Wag 65 track mp3 album I bought on Amazon for $12.  Pro-Tech is simply DJ Wag and Y.O.M.C. (Uwe Wagenknecht and Martin Roth are their real names) who collaborated before as well; in fact, DJ Wag's biggest song, "Life on Mars" which was credited to DJ Wag in later releases, was first released back in '98 credited to DJ Wag & M.R.  Even with it's re-release, the UK version is the best one, because it features a DJ Wag remix and a Y.O.M.C. remix, and those are probably the two best remixes of the track ever done (unfortunately, they only ever had a rather poorly mastered vinyl release.  The Y.O.M.C. version was recut as the Y.O.M.C. Global mix, but it's not as good of an arrangement.)

Pro-Tech releases often had the same format; they were songs that were credited to a group that included the two of them, but each vinyl release had two mixes, one by DJ Wag and one by Y.O.M.C.  If not, they sometimes had an original mix and then a DJ Wag remix.

The big problem here, both with the Pro-Tech releases, but with others as well, is that many of these mixes are not readily available anymore.  The only way to get them is to track down rare and out of print vinyl and hope that it's in good enough shape that you can rip it to a digital format where you can actually use it.  So, the DJ Wag Club Mix, shown here, is readily enough available (I got it on the big album I mentioned that I bought above, and you can hear it on YouTube and Spotify both as well)—the original mix, on the other hand, I can't find anywhere.  Even just to listen to a crappy copy uploaded on YouTube to see what the song sounds like.  Can't even do that.

The problem is that sometimes you can do that, at least, and it's clear the the track is a great one.  But then you can't find a high quality copy of it for download or for sale anywhere, and again, you're left to go chase old, out-of-print vinyl and hope for the best.  I wish DJ Wag and M.R. would really put out a Works style compilation, the way Hennes & Cold or Derb has done.  But I guess it seems like we're stuck with what we do have, and we'll just have to miss some stuff here and there.
