(idm) Roni Size/V Recordings/Dope Dragon/Full Cycle/Chronic/Philly Blunt appeal....

Hi everyone,

With all this talk of that Dope Dragon mix up, I thought it a pertinent
time to put out my appeal for information. I am currently in the process
of collating information for a web site dealing with the music of Roni
Size, DJ Krust, DJ Die, DJ Suv and others, and I need your help. 

This post is fairly big, but I'm trying to cover everything, so bear
with me and apologies for the big bandwidth usage (although it's not
unnecessary crap, this time!). To those of you who are not interested in
said artists, I urge you take a look at my remixography below. If you
have ANY release not listed featuring a Roni Size, Reprazent, Krust, DJ
Die, DJ Suv, Bill Riley remix, I'd be eternally grateful for the full
details of it(title, tracklisting, catalogue number etc). Especially if
you buy stuff on CD...

Anyway, here are my questions. 

1)Dope Dragon 001. It's by Roni Size and DJ Krust and may be under their
Mask/Gang Related alter ego. The A-Side would seem to be entitled
Selecta Boy, but the flip I have no idea about. Also, is the release
credited to Roni Size + DJ Krust or Gang Related / Mask. Plus, does
anyone know if it recieved a repress along with most of the back
catalogue?

2)Full Cycle 001. Conflicting reports on this one. I assumed the first
release on Full Cycle was Scorpio's Music Box, but I have seen the
record described as having "11:55 (Gangsta Mix)" on the A Side, and
"11:55 (Roll Out Mix)" on the flip. Which is true, and on the label
info, was the record credited to Scorpio or Roni Size and DJ Die?

3)Anyone know the true identities of Swabe or Bigger Star. At the moment
I am assuming Bigger Star is DJ Suv and Swabe is DJ Die, until someone
says otherwise. Any solid, or even shaky evidence to back this up or
refute it would be appreciated.

4)I noticed DJ Krust's 'Warhead' appeared in the 1 In The Jungle chart
last week. Has it had a full release yet, or is this advance promo's
being sold?

5)Any up to date release dates/tracklisting info on:

DJ Suv's "Freebeat" EP (Full Cycle)
DJ Die and DJ Suv's "Music First" (Full Cycle)
Scorpio's "Trouble" (V)
Ed Rush and Opticals "The Funkster" (V)
DJ Suv's "Output" (V)
remixes of Krusts "Maintain" (V)
3 Way - Sargeant General (Dope Dragon)
the Dope Dragon LP
and
the forthcoming Breakbeat Era stuff on XL

Discography Appeal

For the labels listed in the title of this posting I am missing the
following releases.

Full Cycle - 001 (Music Box), 004 (DNA's DNA) & 005 (Bill Riley's 'The
Chill').
Dope Dragon - 001 (Selecta Boy), 003 (Oh My Gosh), 004 (Terradome EP),
007 (Reasons For Living) 008 (One People/Raid).
V Recordings - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (Jazz Note), 8, 11, 12, 13, 17.
Philly Blunt - All except 5, 5R and 9.
Chronic - All except 9 (Krust's "Shooks") and 12 (Ray Keiths "The
Professional").

Fall all the above I really require *accurate and comprehensive label
information* (bar Chronic, where label information isn't even
provided!), but anything you have will be welcomed. In the case of
Chronic I'd appreciate rumoured artist info (artists featured on Chronic
so far may include DJ Krust, Dillinja, Ray Keith and Lemon D) or
anything else you can come up with.

Remixography Appeal

Versatility comp, Breakbeat Science #1 and Telepathy which all have
exclusive tracks on by said artists. Info on the Gang Related remix from
the new Trouble on Vinyl "Code of the Streets" LP would be
appreciated...

Finally, if you know of anywhere where I may be able to get a better
response, I'd appreciate it if you'd forward this message on, or tell me
where would be best to post it.

Cheers if you helped or wanted to help but couldn't,

Gb.
