for starters

any other comps i should get for when the label progressed a bit? those two linked to above seem quite early in the 90s...

any of the reinforced CD comps are worth getting.

this provides a pretty decent label trajectory:

RIVET CD 03 Various The Definition Of Hardcore (CD)
RIVET CD 06 Various Jungle Book - Intelligent Minds Of Jungle - Volume 1 (CD)
RIVET CD 07 Various Enforcers: Above The Law (2xCD)
RIVET CD 09 Various Enforcers: The Beginning Of The End (CD)
RIVET CD 15 Various Enforcers: Deadly Chambers Of Sound (3xCD)
RIVET CD 18 Various Enforcers - Battle Of The Breaks (2xCD)

"beginning of the end" also available as 2xcd comp (1st disc unmixed, 2nd disc mixed by dj stretch, includes a bunch of manix / tom + jerry stuff tacked on the end)

also let's not forget the great pre-"defn of hardcore" comp "calling for reinforcements".

also don't forget to use the fucking search function.

otherwise, jess OOOOOOOTTTTTTTMMMMMMMM
