Reddit reviews Sampled

Sampled is an interesting series, it's the original full tracks that were later reused. I've got four double CD albums from the series IIRC.

There are compilations released of classic tunes that were sampled by many hip-hop producers. They will advertise themselves by claiming that these are the tunes sampled in xyz productions, thus drawing attention to their use and possibly getting the producer in some legal trouble with the copyright holders if the samples weren't properly cleared.

For example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sampled-Various-Artists/dp/B0000506E8

If you like this sort of stuff you'll like the sampled series of albums (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sampled-Vol-1-Original-Disco-Tracks/dp/B0000506E8). It's double cds of the originals where big songs got their samples from.
