Crucial Electro (1984)

Another killer collection! If you even 'think' you like Electro and haven't heard these old school tracks you need to hear them now! All 20 of them...

This was the age of the 12" so rather than list albums I have picked out individual tracks to show the very best

Saying that, one album pretty much had it all, "Street Sounds Crucial Electro"  sealed my addiction with the genre and sent me off in many directions finding the individual tracks and artists as hugely expensive import vinyl 12"s

Not only was the music unbelievably good, but the mixing was too. Most of the earlier Street sounds Electro releases were good, but this was the business 

Top 3? Tough call again but probably, 'Egypt Egypt', 'Planet Rock' and 'Hip Hop, Be Bop' but they are all genius!
