    Yeah, pure sickness. Great job all round by BBE. The only gripe is the paper sleeves but no debris or marks were left on the vinyl.

      Absolutely top notch. Music is fantastic and pressing is stellar. Gatefold sleeve is also good with good info. Love it!

              Light in the attic was selling a back order of this today (to coincide with the release of Volume 3) -- any word on a new repress? Missed my chance to grab one today but really hoping to get this incredible collection for a decent price

                Any chance of a repress of this? After getting vol 2, i've been searching everywhere, but prices are way too high.

                  Top notch compilation and I'm not sure why I didn't buy Vol. 1 when it came out but I now have both Volumes and they are damn good pressings as well. I'm transferring them onto my minidisc (needs 2 discs) so I can listen to them as I'm walking to work and lunchtimes.
