I can't find the tracklisting for this one (anyone?). This one's a cool funky mix, a bit cheesy at times but you just know you'd be loving it if you were hearing it live.

Enjoy.

The Scratch Perverts Unkle vs Scratch Perverts - 01/02/1999
James Lavelle, Tony Vegas, Prime Cuts and 5 decks.

Couldn't for the life of me find a tracklist for this, though there's nothing too obscure on there so might try and list them myself sometime. It's largely made up of tracks off Psyence Fiction so shouldn't be too hard. Not sure on it's exact date, but when it's introduced it says it's around the time 'Be there' was released which I think was sometime in 1999. Highlight of the mix has to be a remix of that track, typical Lavelle remix - absoultely rocks.

Tracklisting
UNKLE - Intro/Main Title Theme (Live Version) feat. Scratch Perverts
UNKLE - Lonely Soul (Live Version) feat.Richard Ashcroft, Scratch Perverts
UNKLE - Guns Blazing (Live Version) feat.Scratch Perverts

Mr Scruff - unknown date
There have been a few other Mr Scruff Breezeblocks but their tracklists don't suit the mix, think this one's quite old and the archives on Radio 1's website only go back to 2002.

It's a pretty good eclectic mix and worth a listen if just for the little adverts interspersed throughout it prompting companies like The Seventies Freezer Center, Morecabme, Chelmsford Erotic Telephone Banking and Shower Jazz (which sounds like it could possibly be more entertaining than any of these mix sets).

Steinski and Jonathan Moore (inset) Steinski vs Plus One vs Jonathan Moore - Unknown Date
What a combination. Start off with Jonathan Moore from Coldcut, throw in some classics from Steinski's encyclopedic knowlege and mix it up with some top class turntablism from Plus One and this is what you get.

Lovely stuff.
