Blue Break Beats Vol 1
Volume One on Blue Vinyl featuring 12 cuts from Grant Green, Donald Byrd, Eddie Henderson, Jimmy McGriff, Herbie Hancock etc. When first released in the 1990s, Blue Note Records’ Blue Break Beats series was a huge commercial success and kicked off the worldwide Dancefloor Jazz revival. These EMI-originated releases have been missing from the catalogue for years. Now they are back with a bang: The first three volumes are reissued as deluxe LPs, for the first time in Gatefold sleeves on red, blue and yellow vinyl. As well as on a mid price Triple CD set. This set compiles the legendary Blue Note originals sampled and remixed by Kanye West, Eminem, Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, A Tribe Called Quest, Common, Pete Rock, Gang Starr, The Jungle Brothers, Ice-T, The Chemical Brothers, Wu-Tang Clan, Tricky, Bloodhound Gang, The Pharcyde, De La Soul, Dream Warriors, Madlib, Guru - and even Madonna!.
