Great/Favourite LP Compilation Albums

Excellent @guydarryl

I have this early comp SEEZ 2. Motorhead on this one!

They did some samplers from the 78 tour too but these are not live. I don't know how you bought the Sounds promo. The second one below (came in a plain black sleeve) you wrote in for after the gig I believe and wasn't for resale.

A Factory Quartet is an odd one; a double album with one truly superb side from Durutti Column, and three sides that no one ever plays, or can even remember anything about.

PS Typical second hand grading: VG+/M/M/M.

Poor Blurt! Still regularly playing and recording 43 years later : )

@gavreid - i bought it years ago second hand, possibly “David’s bookshop” in Letchworth or “Andy’s records” in Cambridge.
I used to really appreciate the “pay no more than”/RRP stipulation on New Wave releases - good marketing as it made me feel that they cared

Donald Byrd: Early Byrd: The Best of the Jazz Soul Years is a cracking compilation album.

Likewise, Street Funk & Jazz Grooves (The Best Of Grant Green)

I think I distributed an album by Blurt - gave Ted plenty of excuses to come to visit!
apparently it was Poppycock

I vaguely know a bloke who recorded and mixed a live album for them a few years back. Small world!

I wish I still had a copy of this:

A great Reggae compilation

 

[paulfromcamden]

This £2 comp Rephlex put out still sounds really good (if you skip the first track..)

I remember buying it one Saturday afternoon in Selectadisc and they'd had it on repeat the whole day : )

Still the benchmark Reggae Reissue label imho. My favourite:

 

[mikechadwick]

Gav - what have you started here - once you start it's very hard to stop......

 

[paulfromcamden]

The two David Mancuso Presents... compilations NuPhonic put out are fantastic. Mine have been played to death over the years.

Great thread idea - i have been cleaning/treating wood floor in front room today, listening to a selection of compilations while i worked.
Listening to this at the moment:
