First broadcast by BBC Radio 1 on the 11th December 1994, this "Essential Mix Classic" was rebroadcast by BBC Radio 6 Music on 19th August 2018 as part of their "Second Summer Of Love Season" and introduced by Mary Anne Hobbs.

Previous rebroadcasts: 10th April 2011.

The tracklist has been fixed being based off the original tracklist from the BBC Radio 1 website, subsequent tracklist revisions available on the web and help from YouTube & Discogs. Thanks to swamp for his help with this. Also, thanks to spook for his awesome "Essential Mix Classic" artwork.

The "Definitive Version" of this original broadcast was first "released" on 6th April 2006 by fellow tmb.dj member plugg, who had recorded this mix onto a VHS cassette tape. The audio is outstanding for a radio broadcast capture from the mid 90s. The 2011 rebroadcast was captured in both 128kbps aac and 160kbps mp2 formats, but surprisingly neither improved upon plugg's VHS restoration. It appears that the BBC replayed plugg's restoration!

I'm excited to say that this most recent rebroadcast does improve upon the audio quality. So we now have the best audio version of this awesome Essential Mix.

"Welcome to tonight's Essential Mix on 1FM. And for the next couple of hours something a little different. We head down to Bristol and hand those turntables over to Massive Attack. Stand by.

I thought I'd share this with you all as it fits in with the style of music here, just like the Psychonauts EM that I shared obviously does.

If anyone is able to identify tracks 9 & 28 that would be amazing.

There is a cue sheet included, so if your player handles cue sheets you'll get to see the tracks playing.
