I'm not surprised that this CD single is impossible to find. I wouldn't have even known about it if I hadn't heard the single on the local college radio station in '91. And THEY didn't play the hardcore mix, either. There were probably only a few thousand pressed, since it was essentially a DJ mix. If you find it, grab it. Best 6:30 of techno + laffs I ever heard.

great album, but EXTREMELY hard to find. i have one of these, but it had a scratch on it (GASP!) so i just ordered 2 copies (hoping it is still in stock). if you are lucky enough to have one of these albums, guard it with your life! all you have to do is listen once to this single to know it is something truly extraordinary.

I love this re-mix of the original track that I have. The 3rd re-mix is the naughtiest and the funniest. A great cd to listen to while i go 90 miles down the highway (not, that, i, uh, have gone 90 miles down the highway or anything...). Definitely, one of my better purchases as of late.

The name of this single is actually just "Speed"
1) Speed (Club Mix) (5:33)
2) Speed (Radio Edit) (3:50)
3) Speed (Hardcore) (6:18)

Indeed this a very hard CD to find.I had the cassette maxi-single back in the day.I was very lucky to find it at a Camelot
music store here in New Orleans.Alpha Team also did a follow up single to this one called "This is Racer-X",which is even MORE rare.I bought it played the hell out of it and then gave it to my friend,who still has it to this day.I think I want it back.
I still listen to Alpha Team just because of the memories.

Great album, capturing the high-speed excitement of Speed Racer. Brilliant homage to the TV series that started the whole anime craze. The big payoff is the "Hardcore" track, which adds a very funny element of some interesting, um, interaction between Speed and Trixie. Don't miss the punchline in the final 10 seconds.

I did lend my copy to someone, and never got it back. Which is why I had to buy another copy online.

Anyway, I don't generally care for Techno, but I really like this CD. Especially the "Hardcore Mix" track, which is funny as all get-out.

I think there are sinister forces at work, here. ... I felt I had to share my own Alpha Team Speed regretfully lost story. ... And it's true, it is harder to find than bigfoot! A guy I knew who happened to be a DJ at a local club begged me to loan him my copy because he couldn't find it anywhere. Since I saw the guy two or three times a week, I figured no harm. Once my CD vanished into his possession, he vanished, and I have never seen him since. The final track "Hardcore Speed", is quite simply magical. A rare blend of camp, techno, animation and pornography, that leaves you with sides sore from laughter, and feet sore form dancing. Highly recommend it, should it ever become available again!

This is a great tape and I listened to it in middle school. Funny story: my mom listened to the tape first and decided to tell me that Speed and Trixy were climbing up a hill and that is why they were panting. I have the casette tape version of this.

I first heard this on college radio a few years ago, a word of warning, don't lend this CD to anyone or you won't get it back.
