Like Jet Star, Greensleeves weren’t shy in getting the big jungle producers of the day on board. Allowing producers like Congo Natty, Tom & Jerry and Reel ll Reel to feed their huge reggae catalogue into their samplers pretty much guarantees great results For our final expensive jungle release of the list we’ve dipped below the tonne-belt to pay respect to Redskin Records. While most label’s output will range between releases, Redskin deliveries pulls the most consistently chunky price tags and they appear to be increasing. Nothing’s a dead cert when it comes to investments but there are certain things that almost guarantee a rise in value; land, immaculately maintained vintage cars and boxed Star Wars toys. Classic jungle vinyl appears to be another one. Fill your boots… XTC & DJ Keen Nottingham – Here I Come / Reload & Come Again (Greensleeves Records)

Individually numbered, 1000-only. Featuring Total Science, Bladerunner, Dub Motion, A.M.C, Six Blade, L 33, BTK, Maztek, Optiv, KG, Mindscape, Mark System and many more! Chatta B’s Terouble Times is one of the label’s sought-after 10 releases and is interesting as it neatly documents the changing tide between the ragga and more soulful sounds some areas of D&B was embracing at the time. Enjoy the contrast in the sample use; the balance of bubbling horns against the heavy ruffage of Badman Tune and that evergreen Mary J Blige sampling on the proto-jump up Notch. 20 years old to the year and still sounding future. Like the book, the album covers the genre’s nineties golden era, and the many styles of D&B are represented. Pioneering producers and crowd-pleasing favourites sit alongside a few sought-after obscurities by the unsung heroes of the scene. Most importantly, there are some absolute bangers! Where the lines between mythical and actually expensive blur a little… Moving Shadow created a series of picture discs that made up a poster style Moving Shadow logo if you had the full set. The beats came from the very best in the game; Blame, Alex Reece, Deep Blue, Nookie, Roni Size, Krust and many more.It is not our intention to raise the prices, but it if you do spot the prices going up, bear our opening sentence in mind and make an investment. Hells, these might all spawn from the mid 90s but Jules is seeing a trend in current D&B vinyl too…

Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge. One of Ed Rush’s earliest pre-techstep outings, delivered by the aforementioned Jet Star during the ragga revolution of the mid 90s. Very few copies of this white label are in circulation. Probably because those who own it aren’t likely to let it go any time soon. Just listen and you’ll understand why…

I had to find room to squeeze in a classic from Suburban Base somewhere here. This one fits the bill nicely and the remix 12 with another one from the mighty DJ SS is well worth a look too. As a result this list is by no means authoritative. As Jules predicts, it is littered with names you may well not have heard (and a few you have definitely heard of) but it’s a great snapshot of where collectable jungle vinyl is in 2015… And where it’s heading.
