[QUOTE="Jiglo, post: 824916, member: 3953"] You too Morgan:thumbsup: I've got my ticket now anyway and it's good to see that you're going Kev and a few others too :beer: :D As for what Street Sounds means to me. Well it wasn't my first foray into electro, but it opened my ears to a lot of new tracks that might have remained underground if they weren't part of the series, at least to me, not living in a city with cool record shops around me. It also gave me a chance to own a lot of high quality pressed tracks for little outlay and nicely mixed together so they kept the tunes rolling at school breaktime when we'd be practicing our moves. The mixes didn't kill the tracks either and allowed me to mix them once I got turntables after the series finished:cool: I also noticed there were some very cool edits too:cool: After buying some of the original 12'' records after hearing them first in the series, i've gotta say that I was disappointed that a particular mix wasn't on them, because they were redone by the DJ mixing the tracks. Grandmaster Flash - Style is the one that immediately springs to mind. That edit isn't on the album and it isn't on any 12'', but it made the track much better. A very clever mix was 'South Bronx' into 'Hold It now, Hit It. ''You got cut off MCA because the rhymes you wrote are Whack......'' It's testament to the quality of these releases too that most of the tracks on them fetch a pretty high price when trying to buy the originals:cool: And apparently, everything on the UK Electro release apart fro Rapologists track is actually the work of Gregg Wilson:thumbsup: For me, I started off buying the tapes for the ghetto blaster, then later on bought them again on vinyl.
