Best remix ever is DJ Hype's version. Wish Luna-C would release the Shooting Star/Ready Or Not mashup though, thats class.

That would be the DJ Zinc mix. Hype has said in interviews that he has never done anything with the fugee sample.

I'm with Mortis on this. I bought the tune in 97 on a white label of some sort & it's definately Hype vs The Fugees - Ready Or Not. There is as far as i know a Zinc remix too. The Zinc remix sounds very similar but it is slightly different.

Just remembered the Hype remix is called ready or not & the Zinc remix is called Fugees or not. Definately 2 different choons.

In the interview I read, Hype stated that he had never done a Remix of ready or not. He also stated that he knew a version was being passed off as his. This happened after the original run of the Zinc remix had sold out. The remix that was being passed off as his was the flip on a bootlegged run of the Zinc remix.
Ill have a look for the interview.

Zinc’s Super Sharp Shooter sent waves around the rave scene and indeed the music industry as a whole when it was put out at the end of ’95. Fugees Or Not (Ready Or Not remix) gained a similar response last summer, but rumours began spreading that the person responsible for the tune was being sued. Although slightly reluctant to reveal all, my powers of persuasion won through and Hype gave me the lowdown. It goes like this… 500 promos were put out, but a disagreement with someone in the scene led to the track being deleted. By this point, the tune was already massive and everybody wanted a copy. Sony cottoned on to the remix and threatened to sue Hype, who argued that Zinc only intended the tune to go out on dub plate and not on general release. Content with this, Sony decided to put the track out themselves, but only if it had The Fugees’ seal of approval first. Whilst awaiting The Fugees’ reply, someone bootlegged the tune and it was soon on general release in places like HMV and Our Price. The shady dealer put another mix on the flip and attributed it to Hype. It was apparently terrible and you’d expect, Hype was none too impressed. Sony dropped the whole matter. “The official story is that The Fugees heard it, liked the track, felt that there wasn’t enough of the vocal on it and subsequently they didn’t go with it. But it’s opened their eyes to jungle, they love it and Goldie's going to be doing the next mix. That’s what the guy at Sony told me anyway”

That doesn't really say who did the remix, they way I read it the track on the flip side was put out as Hype's which it wasn't and Hype's Fugees remix could have been ment to go out on Zinc's label asdub plate.
Doesn't quite clear anything up to me. Still, the record I have says it's the Hype remix.
