Definitely isnt that one, thats a little harder to source .. though there may be a Fade & Bananathology coming .. or maybe a silk cuts .. who knows what wonders might appear! ;)

Would love a Fade and Bananaman album. Not too fussed about a Silk Cuts one. I only liked a handful of the tracks.
But a Fade & Bananaman / JHAL / Evolve album would be great. I remember Darren working on it last year. Hell, I remember back in 2013 him saying it was coming soon lol.
Would be great to get digital copies of A Dream Surprise, Sugar & Spice, Without You, Please Be Mine etc. And their amazing remixes of Calypso, Hardcore Fever, Come and Follow Me etc.

It's actually just the DJ Stompy mix that was released via HTSE Records. There's a Brisk remix on the flip.

I bought the DJ Stompy anthology and really loved it for the most part. Listening with my headphones, about half of them sounded a bit muffled though. Were these taken from MP3s or something? The audio quality on track #2, for example, is quite low.

Very low shelf cutoff there. Stompy's soundcloud says they're "digitally remastered" but... is there any possibility of getting the proper versions?

I believe most of them were sourced from the original DAT tapes. There's only so much you can do to a 20+ year old sound file recording

Some were sourced from a CD I got from Stompy in 99 (!), but the one you mentioned is direct from DAT albeit recorded nearly a decade ago.
We're very, very, far beyond a sensible point to be cataloguing stuff from 20+ years ago.
Whenever possible, particularly if an issue is identified, we will always try to source another variant. It, increasingly, won't always be.
The most irritating thing is I essentially started doing this back in the early noughties, but then ended up running a label focused on "upfront" stuff and the "oldskool" tag was being used to beat us. Along with D&B. Or Freeform. Or whatever would mask the obvious fact we were far more interesting, better, and right more often than not 
I haven't had as direct an influence over most of these releases, bar the Stompy CD I had, and the one I'm currently working on, but Al Storm is one of the very few people who I'd trust to supply the best possible variant at any given time.
I'll do some digging, but it really might be a case of "this is the best there is, or ever will be" 
(I *love* Magic Moments, too, FYI)

Where did the guys behind Beats 24/7 get most of their stock, back in 2005?

Hah!
Most was digitally sourced, *but* there were glitches ahoy (I know this, as I was getting Ruffage to fix loads of them, for my own sanity, and then I'd send them back to Slipmatt/Slam to hopefully replace the glitched variant)
Also, very crucially, it was primarily "large" catalogues (Vibes, Stage One) which is why there was at least some consistency with source and supply.. See also: 15 years ago. Every *single* CDR I have from that era has degraded and will no longer read even with recovery services.

Really, really do. Even archival grade ones could fail by now!

For how long are bought CD's supposed to last? I ripped a few from 1996 just a few weeks ago and had no problems

"proper" cds, ie glass mastered, should last decades. Cdrs can degrade in a few years, never mind decades.
