'Blue Break Beats Vol 4' is great. It contains the original sources of
De La Soul's '3 Is The Magic Number', All Seeing Eye's 'And The Beat
Goes On' (you too can hear just how easy it is to rip of a great song,
turn it into something far inferior and get a hit into the bargain),
Blueboy's 'Remember Me' and plenty more besides. The best of the
series so far in my opinion with more funk and less jazz than the last
one and quite a few previously hard to find classics. It comes highly
recommended even if you didn't like the last one.

Colin.
