If memory serves me correctly, yes. I had the whole set of Hardest Hits
1 through 5, and I've been trying to replace them since I had mine
stolen when my car was broken into two years ago. I've found 3 through
5, but I've mainly been looking for this one ever since. If anybody has
it on CD and wishes to part with it, please e-mail me.

Too bad (about the set getting stolen -- I often worry about my collection
getting ripped off -- some of it I could *never* replace.)
Also too bad you didn't see my post a few weeks back. I had the "hardest
hits vol 1" up for auction. It went for $40 US.
I might be willing to part with my vol 2 -- keep watching this spot :^)

Did you check HMV at Yonge and Dundas? Last time I was in they had all
the Hardest Hits and the Classic Alternative series. I believe Sam at
Yonge and Dundas had most of these as well. HH Volume 1 is a good one.

Actually, it's not that good at all. The other HH and CA are much
better (IMHO). HH1 is just *rare*!
I doubt it *very* much if HIV (oops... I mean HMV or SAMS) has the
hardest hits 1.
Your best bet is to check out the used CD shops, but the odds are slim
you'll find vol 1.

These kind of questions seem to come up often. What follows is a list of
everything on these CDs, and a few other CFNY related CDs. What you'll
find is a great set, fairly representative of what CFNY use to play on a
regular basis without the repetition ad nauseum we find today. Now it
seems you can only hear these if someone requests them on Saturday or
Sunday morning All Request shows -- almost the only time I'll listen to
CFNY anymore for anything longer than 15 minutes before getting bored or
disgusted. (And even then . . .) A far cry from days gone by. There's
still a lot of stuff I remember them playing years ago that I still haven't
found. Still hoping there'll be a Hardest Hits VI that will fill in some
of the gaps -- Ryan Paris(?) - Somewhere over the Rainbow, The Mighty Wah
(Pete Wylie) - Story of the Blues Parts I & II (have this on LP, want it on
CD,) Bodines (UK) Skanking Queen (?), and so much more.
(And no, I'm not giving up any of these CDs.)

Essential Alternative Sampler" CD's that you could only get if you bought
one of the albums featured at HMV. I gave up after the fourth because they

bought them at that point.
