I was wondering if anyone knows of any more collections coming? Vinylgroover did one, Force and Styles have and now Slipmatt, I am wishing Essential Platinum or Quosh is next

I know Gammer has been on Facebook recently asking people for tracks, and what tracks people would love to see released. So there might be something coming from him & possibly Dougal?

That would be pretty good, I like his mixes more than his tracks. I know Dougal did a 25 years album a few years ago too.

This is the best news I've heard all year. Hopefully we get lossless studio masters of rarer D&G stuff like the Bonkers mix of Get Hype. It's a shame Dougal is the one who deals with all the Essential Platinum stuff... some of the copies he gave to that awful publishing company for streaming were awful.

Based on info from the Discord server, there's a huge effort going on now to locate and transfer tons of old tunes. I'm holding out for a complete collection of Dougal & Gammer. I'd also like to see the Bonkers 9 version of Get Hype and Fires In The Sky.

The Bonkers 9 version of Get Hype came out didn't it - fairly sure I have a digital although I am betting 128 or 192kb MP3

At least the Force & Styles bundle wasn't geo-locked, since I can't buy digital music from amazon uk...
Not to mention that this bundle is from 2017, so it's older than the F&S one

At least the digital copy I have of Get Hype is different from the Bonkers version. And we all already know that the same is true for Fires in the Sky, so neither versions that appeared on Bonkers were sold.

Gonna have to re-listen to the Bonkers mix and see what's different, I was under the impression that is the version I have but I am probably wrong!

I remember the Bonkers 9 version of Get Hype being digitally available back in the day. - I want to say it was on IMOdownload.

IMOdownload definitely had a bunch of the EPP stuff. Can't remember if they had any Bonkers versions.

I've not been on this site in ages and the first thing I read is exactly what I've come on for ??
I've just downloaded Gammers album, 93 tracks for £5, Dougals album, 36 tracks for £5, and I was wondering if there was any others like it. The Slipmatt one looks great, I've never seen that before, looking forward to getting that now.
The Force & Styles collection looks great, that might be my next purchase. I managed to get the Billy Bunter USB a few years ago. That was mental! All his work for £30!
