Blow Up
Exclusive Blend Volume 1 - the first soundtrack compilation from legendary London record label and club Blow Up.
When Volume 1 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). 3 volumes on, the series remains a ground-breaking introduction to the world of the music library, as well as reflecting the diverse music that can be heard at London's famous Blow Up club.
After a long wait during which saw some copies fetch silly prices on eBay, Volumes 1 & 2 have finally been reissued including a brand new pressing on vinyl. Compiled by Blow Up founder and main DJ Paul Tunkin, Volume 1 features Hammond-heavy classics from the KPM music library.
