Description: Maybe the most sought after title on the Programme label and one of the more in-demand library albums period. So much good stuff on here for the DJ / Producer / listener, breaks, loops, tune – the whole shebang. Where do we begin? ‘The Rough With The Smooth’ has a super disco break at the bridge, lovely for chopping up (4 bars: snare/hi-hat/LA percussion). ‘Bits and Bats’ has huge sounding drums on its 2 bar breakbeat intro, these are then joined by funky clavinet for another mouth-watering sample opportunity. ‘A Change of Pace’ has similarly fat drums with a Dre-esque piano riff for 4 bars – this needs to be sampled wholesale, it’s fantastic. Then there’s another breakdown at the bridge, leaving just bass and drums, massive loop potential there. ‘Time and a Half’ has an extremely useable bass-line intro. ‘Supersplash’ opens with slow and low ‘suspense’ style drums and congas, again, fire up your sampler! ‘Well Above Average’ has another break on the intro, drums, then keyboard plus guitar stabs making a real no-brainer of a loop! And there are cheeky breaks at the mid-point of the tune! Killer LP!

NB. I will NOT end any auctions early. Please do not contact me requesting this as you are wasting your time. It is unfair to those who are watching the auctions with the intention of bidding later. ----
THE NITTY GRITTY:
Shipping: Wherever you live, that is where I will send your package. The buyer will pay the ACTUAL shipping charges, plus the cost of the mailer/PVC sleeve. I’ll keep this cost as low as I can. ----
Payment: Overseas bidders need to use Paypal. UK bidders can contact me should alternatives be required. I expect payment from overseas bidders within seven days of the auction ending, for UK bidders I expect this within five days. ----
Non-paying bidders / Late payment etc: Please be aware that I use eBay’s Non-Paying Bidder policy and I take the Feedback Forum seriously. Your item will be relisted after the payment deadline elapses and you will receive negative feedback!! There will be no exceptions to this, so please ensure that you have read these conditions so that we don’t have people leaving incorrect feedback after having failed to pay on time. -----
