What can you tell me about it, and what should I look for?

er, search: EVERYTHING! Really encapsulates that period of, um, 'dance music' (for want of a better phrase).

Special mentions to:

The Todd Terry Project - "Weekend/ Just Wanna Dance"
Cash Money & Marvellous - "The Mighty Hard Rocker"
EPMD - "Strictly Business"
Joyce Sims
Dinosaur L
Indian Ocean
etc
etc
etc

Classic!

Bing! New Answers!

Sorry Mike - I am the thread killah! This thread must have got lost somehow, cos I can't believe no-one here would ignore the genius that is Sleeping Bag records.

― Bill E (bill_e), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 04:32 (twenty-two years ago)

The Mantronix produced Joyce Sims are wonderful things. Indian Ocean seconded. Er, i actually don't know where to start with this.

Lemme rifle through the record collection...

was "It takes two" on sleeping bag?

― gaz (gaz), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 04:56 (twenty-two years ago)

if so GREATEST LABEL EVER

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 04:57 (twenty-two years ago)

wasn't that on Profile?

― Bill E (bill_e), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 04:59 (twenty-two years ago)

chandra simmons: never gonna let you go. i think this is mantronix too.
might've been Bill.

― gaz (gaz), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 05:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, it was on Profile. Does that make Profile the greatest label evah, Jess?? ;-)

― Bill E (bill_e), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 05:50 (twenty-two years ago)

pffft. Profile was the greatest label ever as soon as the 1st Run DMC came out.

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 06:13 (twenty-two years ago)

just home: its on my copy of Sleeping Bags Greatest mixers III though...

― gaz (gaz), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 09:12 (twenty-two years ago)

five months pass...

Yo, can anyone get a hold of Just Ice's greatest hits? AS well as T La Rock?

― bee man, Wednesday, 19 November 2003 20:14 (twenty-two years ago)

two years pass...

bump??

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 21:33 (nineteen years ago)

NOBODY?

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 22:10 (nineteen years ago)

THREE mixes of Class Action's "Weekend"??? Just buy it already!

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 23:25 (nineteen years ago)

xp - I HAVEN"T HEARD IT THEREFORE I CANNOT TELL U

I used to have the "It Takes 2" 12" and I could SWEAR it said Sleeping Bag on it, but no discogs.com says it's Profile }-`:

All that Mantronix shit tho was Sleeping Bizzag

― name (eman), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 23:34 (nineteen years ago)

Aright I have Vol. 1 of this, but let's see. The Dhar Braxton is far from classic Sleeping Bag, as with that Chocolette. The label was hit-or-miss in the later years. M&M mixes are always hot ("Weekend"), and I suppose Todd Terry's version is well-liked by the house heads.

In summation, hell no, not worth it at Japanese import price.

Get dis one:

― Confounded (Confounded), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 23:54 (nineteen years ago)

that cover is tight

― name (eman), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 02:25 (nineteen years ago)

Why the Koala on the label?

― lurk, Wednesday, 12 April 2006 03:40 (nineteen years ago)

that cover was my desktop background at work for a while

I like how it says "Francios K"

― Confounded (Confounded), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 10:01 (nineteen years ago)

no koala, no credibility

Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock's "It Takes Two" was definitely on Profile, so Gawd knows how it ended up on a Sleeping Bag compilation...

― mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 11:45 (nineteen years ago)

...so if it's disallowed, then shove Mantronix "Bassline" at #15 instead.

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Saturday, 8 March 2008 03:08 (eighteen years ago)

Just realized that one of Y. Eye's lift voyz track lifts a sample from Todd Terry's "back to the beat"

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Saturday, 8 March 2008 03:10 (eighteen years ago)

i have some record that came with a catalog for sleeping bag merch. i want all of it. (but not for $800)

― one time, Saturday, 8 March 2008 04:37 (eighteen years ago)

also Hanson & Davis "Tonight (Love Will Make It Right)" is good. so search that.

― one time, Saturday, 8 March 2008 04:38 (eighteen years ago)

and ALSO Nocera "Summertime Summertime"! a freestyle classic.

― one time, Saturday, 8 March 2008 04:39 (eighteen years ago)
