Exclusive Blend Volume 1 (Featuring KPM Allstars)

When this was released in 1996, the idea of a compilation of 60s and 70s music library tracks never intended for commercial release seemed a little unusual. However, over a decade later the genre is still popular, vindicated by similar compilations from other labels, and a new wave of dedicated collectors and fans (including a cult following overseas, especially in Japan). This album has been continuously repressed, and to date has sold nearly 20,000 copies. It remains a ground-breaking introduction to the world of the music library, the first in a series reflecting the diverse music that can be heard at London's famous Blow
Up club.

Featuring the cream of the KPM Music Library writers including Keith Mansfield, Alan Hawkshaw, Alan Parker and Johnny Pearson, Exclusive Blend Volume 1 sees Blow Up's founder and DJ Paul Tunkin taking us on a journey deep into the library's vaults. From the pounding uptempo of 'Move, Move, Move' through the Hammond heavy 'Beat Me 'Til I'm Blue' and 'Rocky Mountain Runabout' (versions of both featuring on the legendary Mohawks 'The Champ' album) to the sitar 60s club sound of 'Delhi Discotheque' and 'Come here Calcutta'. Most of these tracks had never been commercially available before this release.
