Jackmaster 1Released in 1987 on Music Man Records, Jackmaster 1 is one of the earliest and most important house music compilations ever released in the UK — a double LP that brought the sound of Chicago's underground club scene to British record shops at the very moment house music was about to change everything. Compiled at the height of the original house explosion, it features eleven tracks spread across four sides, with extended mixes and full-length versions designed for the dancefloor. An essential piece of electronic music history and a genuine collector's item for anyone serious about house.Stand-Out Tracks "Jack in the Bush" – Patrick Adams – One of the defining early house tracks, a hypnotic, percussion-driven groove that became a dancefloor staple on both sides of the Atlantic. "Alright, Alright" – Masters At Work – An early release from Louie Vega and Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez before they became house music royalty — a sought-after track for MAW collectors. "The Poke" – Adonis & The Endless Poker's – From one of Chicago house's most important figures, a raw, driving track that captures the energy of the Trax Records era. "Godfather of House" – Chip E. & House People – A statement of intent from one of Chicago's pioneering house producers, closing the album on a suitably bold note. "Goin' Down" – Joe Smooth & Anthony Thomas – From the producer behind the classic "Promised Land", a smooth, soulful house track that bridges the gap between gospel and the dancefloor.
