Mis-Teeq - Lickin' On Both Sides (Telstar Records, 2001) Found In: Age UK (Fareham) Price: 49p*

Between this and Sweet Female Attitude's Flowers, Sunship were killing it on the garage radio edits in the Y2K period, and pre-Scandalous Mis-Teeq were a regular fixture on the Disc 2 (read: as close to indie/underground as you can get while still charting on the top 40) of various Now! compilations.

All I Want and One Night Stand are the standout tracks for me for that reason, but the whole album is really a masterpiece of Y2K garage.

Tracklist:-

One Night Stand [Stargate Radio Edit]

That Type of Girl

Roll On [Blacksmith Rub]

B With Me

Why? [UK Garage MC Radio Edit]

They'll Never Know [feat. Asher D and Harvey courtesy of So Solid Crew]

Stamp Reject

All I Want [Sunship Radio Edit]

Nasty

These Days

Better Better

Secrets of the Night

You're Gonna Stay

One Night Stand [Sunship Radio Edit]

*I know it says 99p on the sticker - you can see this came sealed in cellophane but the green sticker is bent, so I feel like this came to the charity shop via some kind of resell store, like a CEX or similar. But the Age UK was selling CDs 49p a pop, I wouldn't lie to you.

Google Drive Link to the 1996-2002 UKG/grime Rave sets I've been recording from my friend's minidisc collection. All in WAVFLAC format, slightly 'remastered' for clarity and loudness by yours truly. (mostly just a sub boost, slight vocal saturation, and a de-esser)

Includes:

DJ EZ w/ MC B-Live, Pay as You Go, So Solid Crew, Roll Deep Crew, Eastside Connection, Raw Mission FM tapes, Ramsey&Fen, AND MORE! (full list under the cut)

These are available elsewhere, like youtube and such, but the quality is shit so I thought I would share the link I am using to give my friend his recordings with you all.
