I was 12 when my cousin gifted me a couple of cassette tapes that he purchased from Homeboyz in Swindon. Even at the early age I was totally hooked on this early hardcore. Now nearly 39 I still listen with great pleasure, not with nostalgia, but with "Fuck, nothing got near this shit, man".  Thanks for the upload.
