Songs like the previously unreleased “Fight For Our Love”, “All I Ever Really Wanted” and “Do It Again” showcase the band’s signature sound and undeniable talent.The second disc, with a running time of 71 minutes and 40 seconds, is a treat for fans as it features rare tracks that are not found on streaming platforms and the physical CD / Singles are our of print forever. Songa like the wonderful “Everybody Wants To Live Forever” and “I Believe In You” are unreleased and therefore really cool tracks to get of course.“Vintage & Rare Volume III” has been remastered 2026 for its reissue this time on digipak, but seems sold out already, not available at FM’s website anymore.FM’s music has always been a blend of classic rock and pop, and this compilation is a perfect representation of that.
