I'll have to get The Joint.
Played a couple off this in the last mix I did. You have to really bump the gain and EQ to max, but actually played alright in the end: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Jungle-Bizznizz-Volume-One/master/48431
I don't mind playing stuff off comps any more, unless they are shorter versions that fade out. Hate that.
I was also thinking about that - did all these tunes actually get air time in raves and on pirate radio? Were all the random (not very good) tracks still out there on dubs?

I started going through those and didn’t recognise most of them except Jungle Tekno.
I’ve got Lost In Space Drum n Bass, the first one, which must have been ‘99 or ‘00, right at the end of when I was into jungle and dnb. It’s a really good compilation and I didn’t know there were others.
Also, slightly bizarrely, I’ve got that one no.62 Club 2 Def. I got it in the old market that used to be in the car park next to New Covent Garden and it was a 4 disc set for £2.99 or something. Mostly rubbish. Chill disc was good. No idea where it went but I don’t think I’ve got it any more.
The Sub Base Joint LP no. 84 is WELL WORTH getting, it’s BRILLIANT!
Surprised the rest of the Hard Leaders series aren’t on there. I don’t remember much of that stuff ever being on singles, or ever being played. Same goes for the Strictly Underground / Strictly Hardcore stuff (Illegal Pirate Radio, Illegal Rave etc. Don’t remember ever seeing any of that stuff outside of their compilations! Sorry, Strictly Kev, you needed to work harder on your promos!
