"Street Sounds" my god that brings back memories, I think I have a few of them somewhere but not that one.

If so, do said people have a vinyl > CD capacity, and be open to some blatant bribery?

Mekon? Dev?

I am being quite serious.

To me rachel grant looks like a female version of that twat that does the decorating shows, I don't really see what shes got.

Again, I have about 5 cassettes of Streetsounds electro, no lp's though. I couldn't afford a decent TT at the time, wouldn't have been portable either.
Not much good that is it :-(

StreetSounds Electro?

You should have come to me my son!

I have Streetsounds Electro 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Crucial
& UK Electro.

The UK Electro one is particularly sought after, having some precursors to the Northern Underground House scene. I also remember an ACR connection?

A good CD complilation is "Absolutely Electro", a 3 CD set of electro classics.

If I had the time and energy I would make a set of CDs of these, but turntable time is at a premium now with a Lingo at Linn for mending.

Whilst browsing today at Virgin Express (no purchases!) I noticecd that Room 5 feat. Oliver Cheatham is now released as aCDS, with a few mixes.

I will hold out for a vinyl version, as usual.

Dev,

I have all the necessary components except one.....

I have the vinyl, the record deck, the phono preamp, the preamp, a professional CD recorder, blank CDs

BUT not the time to do it! Other interests and going out limit my free time!

I will probably be able to turn out one or two CDs a week.

BTW I often see the odd ones out of the Electro series on vinyl in the Record & Tape Exchange in London & Manchester. The trouble is, they want £25 - £30 each LP!

Mark,

Yes that is a cracker, but I still prefer the next track, B-Boysbeware - always a favourite.

The track on UK Electro that still stands the test of time is 'Music' by Syncbeat, produced by Pete Ramon. Now where else has he cropped up?
