The best classic game music and more
Alright, so on Youtube, I been scopin' these videos. More like music clips, I guess. Anyways, apparently they're from "Rockman # Complete Words" with # being 1-6. I searched and searched online stores for these discs only to find nothing. Anyone got any info?
Here's an example link.
The Rockman Complete Works were PS1 ports of Rockmen 1-6, which included remixed music among other things (the Megaman Anniversary Collection was based on these ports). In addition to the original tunes, you could choose a remixed soundtrack, which generally consisted of the Power Fighters soundtrack and freshly made remixes (such as the one you linked to) for those who weren't represented in Power Fighters. As I recall, the first two ports were pretty lazy musically--the remix option replaced themes with a Power Fighters mix of an entirely different tune if one didn't exist (such as Woodman's theme being replaced by Dust Man's Power Fighters mix, for hypothetical example). Starting with 3 they started offering new remixes, with 4-6 containing the most.
To my knowledge, they were never released on disc--several popular Rockman fan sites host rips, though.
Here's Rockman 2 for sale:

but these versions of the games where released elsewhere abit in a different form: The Mega Man Anniversary Collection. The upgraded soundtracks and other features that appear in the single discs appear in it.
However, I honestly would have liked these on the PS1 and sold seperately like they where in Japan. Despite what others say, I didn't like Annivesary Collection even though I really don't have a real reason behind my opinion - the ommision of the Mode7 graphics from the Mega Man 7 ending being the closest thing to a credable reason to dislike it.
My biggest gripe about these games is why did they remix the remaining tracks for 4, 5, and 6 (the ones NOT on The Power Fighters/The Power Battle) and not the missing ones from 1, 2 and 3? It's really annoying going to a stage that has an upgraded piece of music to one that doesn't. It's plain lazy and knocks down the presentation a bit.

Ah, I see. Downloading is my friend here. That's kind of a shame, but I thank you for the info.

Tiny correction: they started with 4, not 3.
Actually, with 3 they gave us remixed title screen and password music--not much, but something! 4 is where they began actually covering all bases though, true.
As far as Anniversary Collection goes, two warnings:
1. Everything's compressed into mono,
and 2. RM6CW played at a much softer volume than the others, so when it came time to put it in AC, Atomic Planet messed with the pre-amp, so the remixed music in MM6 plays as if your speakers are blown.
Forewarned is forearmed.
