Unfortunately, I've had to call a halt to Raider Of The Lost Racks for now.<br />
My busy schedule is just not allowing enough time to get it done properly.<br />
I do have a huge amount of material yet to be included, but it will all have to wait until sometime later.<br />
As it is, Raider Of The Lost Racks is still a chunky database to dip into, so will continue to be a rather useful archive, most of which wasn't on the Internet previously.<br />
Anyway, I hope to get back to it when time will allow.<br />
Meanwhile, enjoy what's already up.Rack Raiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09499134859712508172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229986119598614748.post-43474050706276543032015-01-17T04:56:00.001-08:002015-01-17T04:56:42.621-08:00THE START OF ACID JAZZ - 1988<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These 2 compilation albums above were the first products to use the term "<i>Acid Jazz</i>" on the cover - and both arrived in the record shelves around the same time in October 1988.<br />
The 2 ads at the top for BGP & Urban Records, both appeared in an Autumn issue of Straight No Chaser magazine in 1988.<br />
The review of the Urban compilation cropped up in Blues & Soul magazine in October 1988.<br />
The 2 charts showing both releases were taken from Blues & Soul and Soul Underground magazines, again both published in October 1988.<br />
Lastly, the albums themselves which are from my own racks at home...<br />
the first being the vinyl version of "Acid Jazz Vol. 1", which was released on BGP - and under it, the cassette version of "Acid Jazz & Other Illicit Grooves" which came out on Urban Records, a tape I remember that got plenty of plays on my Walkman way back then!<br />

The review at the top comes from a <i>Straight No Chaser</i> magazine dated winter 2000.<br />
It's for a hip hop compilation album called "Solesides Greatest Bumps", featuring various acts connected to Solesides - such as Lyrics Born, DJ Shadow, Latryx, Blackalicious etc.<br />
The double album consists mostly of exclusive material and was released by Ninja Tune/Quannum.<br />
The sleeve above, taken from my own collection, is actually the outer cardboard box cover which is different to the main CD cover design inside.

The top item was published in DJ Mag in September 1992 and is a short run down of UK releases the journalist recommended that particular week.<br />
From the same issue of DJ Mag is a playlist compiled by Phil Perry who was DJ at Full Circle near London, and one of the records that gets a mention in both items is Blunt Trax Vol 1.<br />
This was a 12 inch that came out on the Tomato label and consisted of 2 tracks - "Head Space" & "Carried Away".<br />
The vinyl on display above is out of my racks at home.<br />
The flip side of it contains the exact same details on the label & cover as what's shown above, which is why I have only needed to take just one photo of it.Rack Raiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09499134859712508172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229986119598614748.post-36899791715761456122014-10-13T09:49:00.000-07:002014-10-13T09:51:13.940-07:00NUGROOVE GEAR<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The top item is a brief overview of New York house label, NuGroove, which was published in dance music magazine, Mixmag, in 1995. It's just a compact bit of background info and includes a few of their classic tracks as a guide.<br />
Under it is an insert from an album that contains a more substantial list of NuGroove releases, albeit only covering the releases up to 1991. It is also a good reminder of how prolific they were too!<br />
The 2 albums taken from my own collection are both compilations of NuGroove tracks.<br />
The green one is simply titled "A Compilation" and was released in 1991.<br />
The wine one is titled "A Second Compilation" and was released in 1992.<br />
Both LP's are double vinyl packs and came out on the Network label in UK.<br />

The item at the top is an ad that appeared in Japanese magazine, Bar-F-Out, back in winter 1993.<br />
It's for the debut album by Audio Active - the LP shown in the ad being the <i>available in Japan only </i>version.<br />
The Soundclash DJ's at The Gallery in Leeds, however, managed to get hold of this version of the album in early '94 as it crops up in their playlist which was published in Straight No Chaser magazine in Spring 1994.<br />
Later in 1994 the UK version also came out, and that's the one I got, and so have featured my vinyl copy to accompany the mag items.<br />
It has a different cover and as well as a fuller title - "We Are Audio Active, Tokyo Space Cowboys".<br />
The UK version has almost the same track listing as its Japanese counterpart, with only a couple of changes.<br />
The Japanese release came out on Alfa/On-U Sound, the recording made in both Alfa Studios in Tokyo and On-U Sound in London.<br />
As with all On-U Sound records, it was produced by Adrian Sherwood (apart from track 6) and featured some On-U's guests on backing, such as Bim Sherman, Doug Wimbish, Skip McDonald etc, but in the main, Audio Active manage to stamp their own sound.<br />

The top 2 items are from the same issue of Generator magazine as the previous post, and so when they were looking back over 1995's best albums in January 1996, the LP above was one of their compilations of the year.<br />
The Generator ad on top reveals that the release was also Muzik magazine's 'compilation of the year'.<br />
The short Generator review is from their albums of the year overview.<br />
To accompany the magazine material I have plucked out the LP from my own collection at home - a double vinyl compilation called "Penetrate Deeper" which was released on Tribal/ddr.Rack Raiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09499134859712508172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229986119598614748.post-22261941201674342772014-08-29T05:38:00.002-07:002014-08-29T08:31:22.527-07:00KENNY LARKIN LP<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Back in January 1996, Generator magazine published a list of their favourite albums of 1995, and one of those that made the top 10 was the example above, Kenny Larkin's "Metaphor".<br />
The item at the top is the actual review taken from that very issue of Generator.<br />
Underneath it is my copy of the LP - a double vinyl package released on the R&S label.Rack Raiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09499134859712508172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229986119598614748.post-12706386449840043362014-08-22T08:50:00.001-07:002014-08-22T08:54:19.034-07:00FREEZONE 3 CD<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There were 7 volumes in total in the "Freezone" compilation series which started up in 1994, and so the one featured here (3) comes from approximately the half-way stage.<br />
The ad at the top is from USA magazine "On The One" and is dated summer 1996.<br />
The review of the album is from the same issue of the mag.<br />
The CD details to go with the items is from my own collection, and the album (subtitled "Horizontal Dancing") was released on the SSR label.Rack Raiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09499134859712508172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229986119598614748.post-45125241387849098922014-08-16T03:06:00.001-07:002014-08-16T05:07:37.779-07:00JAZZ POWERS EP<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The ad at the top comes from Japanese magazine, Bar-F-Out, and is dated December 1993.<br />
There is the mention of 2 EP's on it - "Jazz Com Bossa" which I've already featured in an earlier post, and "Jazz Powers" which is the one I'm featuring here.<br />
The EP crops up a little later in Europe, with it making the mail order list of Fat City Records in Manchester, this ad dating from spring 1994 and published in Straight No Chaser magazine.<br />
Also from spring '94 and the same issue of SNC is a playlist for Groove Attack in Germany, with Jazz Powers included in the chart.<br />
The 12 inch copy of the EP is from my shelves at home and is actually a various artists release with 4 different acts on it. They are all Japanese acts and are as follows...<br />
Cycle "Quiet Blue"<br />
Little Big Bee "Sunshine"<br />
Cub "Drive"<br />
Hot Juice "Who Made You Believe So?"<br />
The vinyl was released on the Typhoon label.<br />

The Dorado ad at the top comes from an issue of Check Dis magazine dated summer 1992, and one of the records featured on it is a single called "Impressions" by Giant Step NYC.<br />
Underneath the ad is a review of the single that was in the same issue of Check Dis.<br />
Meanwhile, in a summer '92 issue of Straight No Chaser magazine , they also had a review of the single along with a chart compiled by Hamburg's BeatBox crew in Germany, and featured on the playlist is the Giant Step NYC track.<br />
Below those items is another chart, this time from a September 1992 issue of DJ magazine, and on this playlist (which was compiled by Mike Scott in Scotland) not only does it have the Giant Step NYC single but it also has the other track mentioned in the Dorado ad, "Devil Of Cruelty" by Circle In The Round.<br />
Finally, I have accompanied the mag items with my 12 inch copy of the Giant Step NYC single.Rack Raiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09499134859712508172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229986119598614748.post-34615542302443426742014-08-01T09:07:00.000-07:002014-08-01T09:07:40.199-07:00DEFENDERS OF THE UNDERWORLD<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The 2 reviews at the top are for the same album called "Defenders Of The Underworld", a compilation of underground hip hop tracks.<br />
They come from two different publications - the first one cropping up in Straight No Chaser magazine in summer 1999, and the other is from an autumn 1999 issue of Milesahead magazine.<br />
I've dipped into my own collection at home to accompany the reviews with a copy of the CD cover, and the album was released on the excellent Jazz Fudge label.Rack Raiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09499134859712508172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229986119598614748.post-65596780313555796152014-07-19T03:59:00.002-07:002014-07-19T03:59:38.994-07:00COLD CHILLIN STUFF - 1988<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The top item is a full page ad that appeared in Soul Underground magazine back in March 1988.<br />
It's for a gig at the Academy in Brixton, London, and featured acts that were on the New York hip hop label, Cold Chillin. The line up included Roxanne Shante, Biz Markie, MC Shan and Big Daddy Kane. UK's, Tim Westwood was the DJ.<br />
Under the ad, from the same issue of the magazine, is a chart featuring the top 20 hip hop records that were on the go at the time, compiled by Groove Records & City Sounds shops in London, and in amongst all the classic 12's is one solitary album, namely Biz Markie's "Goin' Off".<br />
So because it was a Cold Chillin release, I have accompanied the items with my vinyl copy of the LP.Rack Raiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09499134859712508172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229986119598614748.post-316261107474757142014-07-12T10:10:00.000-07:002014-07-12T10:10:41.887-07:00WORLD CIRCUIT AD<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The ad at the top was published in Take Cover magazine, summer 1990, and featured 2 albums released on World Circuit.<br />
The first is a compilation of various Colombian acts called "Cumbia Cumbia", and the second is an album by Senegalese act, Orchestra Baobab, and is called "Pirates Choice".<br />
Both records were actually released in 1989 and the two LP covers above are from my collection at home.Rack Raiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09499134859712508172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229986119598614748.post-8389712824302664152014-07-05T04:00:00.001-07:002014-07-05T04:00:06.623-07:00ELECTRO CHART - 1985<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The "Electro Top 40" chart above was published in The Street Scene magazine in November 1985 and is a good reminder of some of the sounds that were doing the biz on the dancefloor back then.<br />
From it, I have chosen the record at the #9 position to go with the item, Roxanne Shante's "Bite This", which was produced by Marley Marl and came out on 10 Records - this 7 inch vinyl copy here plucked out from my shelves at home.Rack Raiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09499134859712508172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229986119598614748.post-22782919858097502462014-07-01T09:16:00.003-07:002014-07-01T09:18:54.338-07:00LUV 'N' HAIGHT STUFF<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The top 2 items are an overview of San Fransisco record label, Luv 'N' Haight, which appeared in Birmingham Vibe magazine back in 1996.<br />
It contains the Luv 'N' Haight discography as well as the lowdown on its 2 offspring, Ubiquity and CuBop.<br />
I have quite a few of the records that crop up on the overview but decided to just pluck 1 out as an example to accompany the piece.<br />
I opted for the Luv 'N' Haight compilation "Deja Vu", a very nice set of retro funk & jazz grooves.<br />
The review of the album was published in a June 1992 issue of Touch magazine.<br />
The chart that has Deja Vu at top position comes from a spring '92 issue of Straight No Chaser magazine, with UFO's Raphael being the list compiler as well as the DJ throwing down the vinyl at the Jazz Cave in Tokyo.<br />
Finally, there is the LP itself from my shelves of vinyl at home.<br />

Not exactly the full set as there were about 8 albums in the series, but here's 3 releases relating to the Abstract Funk Theory compilations from around the period when it first appeared on the scene.<br />
The ad at the top is from a summer 1999 issue of Straight No Chaser magazine and is for Ian O'Brien's selection.<br />
The 2nd ad is dated spring 2000 and also comes from SNC and is for Ross Allen's offering. Strangely, the ad artwork doesn't resemble the album cover artwork!<br />
The 3rd SNC ad dates back to winter 2000 and this one is for the Mixmaster Morris presentation.<br />
All 3 CD's are from my racks at home.Rack Raiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09499134859712508172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229986119598614748.post-65770183736046101362014-06-08T04:10:00.000-07:002014-06-08T04:12:24.686-07:00R&S STUFF<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The top item is an overview of the R&S label that was published in "DJ Mag" in 1992. It gives a brief account of their history and lists their recorded output.<br />
The second item is a similar compact review of R&S, this time dated 1995 and published in Mixmag.<br />
So to go with them I thought I'd pluck out a couple of examples from my own collection - both of the above releases date back to 1991.<br />
Starting with a 12 inch EP by Jam & Spoon called "Stella" - followed by a double vinyl compilation album called "Order To Dance" which was the first in a series that went onto have further volumes in the set.Rack Raiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09499134859712508172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229986119598614748.post-25841225135271098222014-05-31T07:24:00.001-07:002014-05-31T07:26:22.376-07:00PAOLO ACHENZA TRIO EP<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The item at the top is from an issue of Birmingham "Vibe" magazine dated 1994 and is a review of an EP released by the Paolo Achenza Trio.<br />
Under it is a chart published in a '94 Straight No Chaser magazine and features a track from the Paolo Achenza Trio EP called "Fez Bossa", which is quite apt because the DJ who compiled it, Nicola Conte, ran a jazz club called "The Fez" in Bari, Italy.<br />
I have put up my copy of the EP to go with the items, a 12 inch vinyl release on Right Tempo.<br />

The album review at the top comes from a 1995 issue of Mixmag and is for the DJ Krush release - "Meiso".<br />
Under it is a chart that was published in Wire mag with Meiso featured on it and was the playlist of the Cafe Internet in London.<br />
I have accompanied the items with my own copy of the LP, a double vinyl release on MoWax, the cover artwork done by Futura 2000.Rack Raiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09499134859712508172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229986119598614748.post-5041999597812962792014-05-18T02:47:00.000-07:002014-05-18T02:47:03.271-07:00BYRD ON BLUE NOTE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The ad at the top appeared in an issue of Straight No Chaser magazine back in 1992 and is for an album called "The Best Of Donald Byrd".<br />
I already had Donald Byrd albums in my collection by then but there were a couple of tracks on here that I didn't have which is why I ended up buying it. I also liked the artwork on the cover drawn by Al Hirschfeld.<br />
Anyway, I opted for the double vinyl version of the album which was a limited edition, and it came out on Blue Note.Rack Raiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09499134859712508172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229986119598614748.post-1058777449069533622014-05-10T07:07:00.001-07:002014-05-10T07:07:56.350-07:00THE NEW JAZZ SPECTRUM<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

All this stuff is dated 1994.<br />
The ad, the review and the chart were all published in Straight No Chaser magazine and feature an album called "The New Jazz Spectrum", a compilation of retro jazz & latin grooves.<br />
It was compiled by Russ Dewbury, who needless to say, also had the album at the top of his playlist for his Brighton Jazz Rooms DJ stint.<br />
Although there were 2 extra tracks on the CD version, I stuck with vinyl and have put my cover up on display to accompany the mag items.<br />
The LP was released on BGP.Rack Raiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09499134859712508172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229986119598614748.post-39543818161871729062014-05-03T02:03:00.000-07:002014-05-03T04:25:03.458-07:00STAEDTIZISM & SUBSTANCIA<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The item at the top is a review of 2 albums that were next to each other on the same page in XLR8R magazine in May 2001.<br />
So because I have both of them in my collection I thought I'd display both covers on the same page too.<br />
The first compilation is called "Staedtizism 2" on the German label ~scape and is a mixture of glitch, dub, jazz and dance.<br />
The second album is also a compilation - one called "Substancia 3" released on Quatermass and contains a variety of electronic dance grooves & breakbeat instrumentals in the main.Rack Raiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09499134859712508172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229986119598614748.post-33005512095274765692014-04-30T04:49:00.001-07:002014-04-30T04:49:39.648-07:00DEEPEST SHADE OF TECHNO<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's a couple of items that were published around the time Warren G's debut album was released.<br />
The top one is an ad that cropped up in The Ticket magazine in August 1994.<br />
The item under it is a hip hop chart compiled by the Tuff Times crew in Switzerland and was published in Acid Jazz News magazine in September '94.<br />
I have accompanied the items with my own copy of the LP - the debut vinyl version released in 1994 on Violator/RAL and titled "Regulate... G Funk Era".Rack Raiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09499134859712508172noreply@blogger.com0
