Title: What were the original go-to sources for acapella samples in the late 80s & 90s
Post by: davros303 on Aug 03, 2025, 07:44 AM
I'm familiar with the Acapella Anonymous series released from 1986 onwards (https://www.discogs.com/master/1757186-Various-Acapella-Anonymous-Vol-1)

This was THE source for vocals in house, techno, jungle (you name it) for many years and the basis for many of the iconic samples we all know and love from that time. My question here is, were there any other similar compilations / sources that DJs and producers plundered for music of that period?

Defected Accapella was another, Hospital records had a spat of releasing Acapellas.
