Okay this one is going to be 100% biased as written by a current Bristol resident that deeply fell in love with the city and its music, present and past.

Carefully put together by the legends that are Boca 45 – who also provided two exclusive cuts on the tracklist – this top notch compilation soundtracked the excellent exhibition that took place in the city in 2021 to celebrate Bristol’s pivotal role in the diffusion of street art and culture in the U.K

It features tunes from the legendary Smith & Mighty to early Mo Wax affiliates 3RPM or Massive Attack and depicts the rise of a cultural revolution that changed Bristol and British culture forever through its unique blend of graffiti art, hip-hop and sound system influenced sounds (anyone ever heard of trip-hop here ?)

Served in a gatefold sleeve, this double opaque pink coloured vinyl also comes with extensive liner notes and showcases the original record sleeves.
