Various - Telepathy (Jungle Dons - Dub Plate Special) FLAC download

Really fantastic album, quality productions from start to finish. I'd like to know the full story..who is jungle Don?..why did he decide to name the compilation Telepathy?..why does it say Jungle Don's Dubplate Special on the album cover but Dubplate Selection on the vinyl? ..

'Jungle Dons' is without an apostrophe. The title is referring to all the producers being 'dons'. Urban Dictionary, fire away!There was also a well attended rave by the name of Telepathy which goes back to 1990. You'll find that they share the same logo/graphics and hosted many, if not all of the DJs on this line up.

I've checked the youtube vids and "Cool Calm Collected" runs to over 6 mins on the vinyl rip. Does that mean the CD has edited tracks on it as DIscogs lists that particular track as being under 6 mins? I'm fearing that it probably does. Breakdown records did occasionally edit tracks, for example the CD of Drum and Bass Selection 1 obviously edits most if not all of the tracks. Thankfully they started doing double CDs for that series from number 2 onwards with full length tracks, thus making the exclusives on those worth cutting to dub if you so wish.

The tracks are quiet because there's 4 to a side which makes the grooves smaller. Still well worth getting though. You'd be forgiven for thinking the tracks would be just be throwaway ones that didn't get released elsewhere but that isn't the case at all! Top quality tunes all the way through, especially the Rap, SS & Ray Keith contributions.

Dunno wat it is but this record seems unusually quiet? Not really that in the know about these matters, could just be the age for all i know, but just use trim to level it out and its a goodun. Might also be worth saying that all the tracks are all booming.

it's not age it's the pressing, 4 tracks per side is too many it ruins the sound quality, you only have to look all the big comps and you see this comp aint the worst offender, i think a few of the jungle hits comps or the jungle mania ones hit 5 or 6 tracks per side and the tracks have been cropped short also.If your lucky the comp might have had dj friendly promo with like 2 tracks per side spread across 2 or 3 records i know the labello blanco ones did ie jungle v the hardsteppers and so on, thats why these are so sought after.In in effect stay away from these big compilations they might as well me pressed of my slipper innasoles after walking through some dog shit.
