This record was found in a thrift store a few days ago. No one knows what it is and there is no information on the internet about it.

Does anyone have any idea what it could be and what the meeting at the McCornick Hotel on May 27, 1992 would be about?

      I'm just going to guess this was for some legal mixtape for a Nintendo business event at some hotel in the early 90s. Either this played at the event or this was Nintendo's fancy invitation with bonus compilation CD.

      That's a pretty good line-up. Haven't heard that Paul Young song in over 20 years. Listening to it now. Just as good as I remember.

    Record companies have a lot of "swag" as it's known that they give away to people they are trying to court/influence/bribe. T-Shirts, records, tickets, all kinds of shit. In this case, they threw together a mix album of a bunch of music they had license to, and passed it out privately as an invite to some sales pitch to make it stand out more than just a paper invite. How Nintendo got dragged into it, I have no idea.

      Maybe it's related to the Super Mario Bros. movie from 1993? May 1992 seems like it would fit in the time frame when the film would have started pre-production and music producers would have gotten involved.

    There is a Nintendo Life news in 2019 that talks precisely about one of the songs on the Nintendo and MCA Records Canada sample cd.

        It has very little info. It's mostly about Acclaim acquiring Voyager Communication, mostly for comic books. But it says that Voyager made deals previously with MCA and Nintendo (not necessarily together), that's about it

    I have a different CD that has a track on it of Bowser singing about Toadstool on it and then I think the rest was just random songs like this one.

    Ok, complete shot in the dark, but maybe it had something to do with the CD add-on for the SNES? Like just a promo item since the add-on would likely have been able to also play normal music CDs, so here is this special promo CD given out at some consumer/business event regarding upcoming tech and MCA Records making music CDs thus made this in partnership with Nintendo.

      I think that is the point. What's more, that date is the day before CES in Chicago in 1992.

    There's a lot of weird video game licensed audio CDs out there
    Pic related was a random trance music album that also included an N64 video ad on the disc
    From a collecting point-of-view pretty much the only ones worth anything are some of the PS1 related discs, such as Duke Nukem Time To Kill Power Tracks which was a techno music album that shipped with a PS1 demo CD exclusive to that particular release.
    The reverse has also happened. Anyone remember how the first print of Mickey's Wild Adventure shipped with a CD full of Disney characters doing gangsta rap?

      The DJ Sammy version of Boys of Summer is almost as good as the original, prove me wrong.

      Boys of Summer is a cuck anthem.
