Uh, color me completely completely confused, but I have the exact same
verbiage in rebirth of cool vol 4, c 1996, 4th and Bway USA release
(162-531-074-2). WIth tracks by by smoke city, iO, Outside, Nicolette,
Lamb, LTJ Bukem, Nitin Sawhney, Da Lata, Akasha, Alex Reece, Ernest
Ranglin, etc.

Did you make a typo when you mentioned "volume 6", or is the number on
the rebirth of cool series as fucked up as i think it is?

To make things even more confusing, I also have a "made in england"
"rebirth of cool 4" (c 1994 BRCD 607 524 040 2)) with tracks by DJ
Krush, Simple E, Groove Collective, Courtney Buchanan, Ronny Jordan,
The Pharcyde, Tranquility Bass, Tricky, Justin Warfield, FMob, OUtside,
Palmskin Productions, Tone Productions, Mondo Grosso, Burning Spear,
Bread and Butter.

To put the final spin on my confusion, I hear talk about a "rebirth of
cool vol 5" which supposedly contains "jazzy drum and bass and
brazilian, indian" but that sounds surprisingly like my copy of the
domestic "vol. 4" mentioned above.

Anybody gots da straight poop on these? Anybody have a track listing of
all the Rebirth of Cool releases and the differences between the UK
releases and the US releases?
