These are the most underrated compilation cd's of all time. If you're bored of UK hardcore this is the next best thing. Happy rave 6 is my fave. I don't own any of the CD's though but they're all on YT.
& now, Discuss..

Absolutely!
Happy 100 is a CD I would highly recommend to anyone who hasn't got it, it's an Arcade release and is crammed full of the best stuff from the Happy Rave CDs + stuff thats in the same dutch happy style.
It's been one of my go-to CDs since 98 when I bought it..for like...2 guilders in Amsterdam on a family holiday.
Awesome compilation.

underrated? These are basicly the only Happy Harcore albums you could get in EU (pre-Brexit :P)
In Sweden, you could find them easily everywhere. Bonkers or Happy2bHardcore? Import only.

I think they are great albums and I'm glad you're back!!!

Shhhh no I never ;) ;)
Jacket, the compilations never made it into the UK...barely anythign Arcade did to be honest, so pre-popular-internet age they were hugely 'underrated' like 95 says!
It was just happy chance that Flamman+Abraxas/Technohead made it through and into the charts afaik due to Warner distribution.

Bet if people looked over there you could find it in a charity shop for like 2EU lol
That one appears on Happy Rave 3/Happy Hardocre 4 and a few others, for dirt cheap 80p odd.

The "dirty expensive" one is 20 seconds longer though. Not to forget that the Happy Hardcore/Rave ones are crossfaded

Well, doesn't take away the fact that it sold like butter in the rest of Europe, and that's why it's so dirty cheap :P

All the Arcade albums (Thunderdome, Earthquake, Happy Hardcore etc) were all rare as shit in England when I was a teenager, it's only since discogs and ebay got popular that I've been able to track them all down!

I have Happy Rave 1-4 in a box somewhere...
They don't do much for me so if anybody wants them for postage, let me know and I will try to dig them out
