Not sure if these were stand alone compilations or series but these are some real gems (I can tell they are my favourites as the sleeves are seriously worn…

Electric Chair

Both the Electric Chair ones are fantastic, really opened my ears
Didnt realise there was another one, will check out. cheers!
definitely!
There are more of them as well as the first two although they are called electric soul instead of electric chair.
Cheers, Wantlisted immediately
I think there was Electric Soul which didn’t get a vinyl release but had a sampler ep. Electric soul 2 was released on vinyl as well as Electric Soul 3.
Electric souls - the hits collection CD also has all or Most of the 12” edits they did on their electric souls label
There’s a load of Fabric Live compilations in the Marylebone high street Oxfam, if they’re anyone’s cup of tea. £1.50 each.
That Son of Bazerk was new to me at the time & blew me away
Bomm Squad in full effect
Definitely!
Doesn’t seem like anyone has named Guts’ compilation series Beach Diggin’ yet. These compilations really raised my standards for what a great comp can be, as well as really making me appreciate the efforts behind it.
My introduction to house and techno. Still play it from time to time. Early 00:s sounded very much like this in my part of Stockholm. Cringe artwork but still gold.

These were eye openers for me.

pretty well priced too. Only seen baldelli once but thought he was incredible. At the time (maybe about 20 years ago) I’d never really heard anything like it
Love those and bought a bunch of the records I’d never heard of off those Baia comps when they came out. The title track on this pitched a bit up practically sparkles with cocaine and goes for silly money now

I really like comps by Vidal Benjamin.

If you like those Badelli and Benjamin Vidal comps you’d probably like the DIRTY Sound System releases too. These guys used to do some decent events back when I lived in Paris featuring Badelli, Glimmers, etc.:
