“Between 1992 and 1995, Skanna – real name John Graham – released eight 12″s that constitute one of the finest, most watertight bodies of work in drum ‘n bass” http://www.factmag.com/2012/02/13/lost-and-found-skannas-heaven-e-p/

Until 2015 all Skanna masters where believed to be lost to cutting houses, defunct labels and the ravages of time leaving only compilations from the time to fill in the blanks. Until now! Skanna Records in collaboration with Underground Music present two seminal Drum & Bass vinyl reissues, Remastered from Original DAT Masters for digital and Vinyl by Bob Macc @ Subvert Central Mastering.

After two years of hunting, a search of John’s parents house finally turned up just one DAT containing pristine original masters from three seminal Skanna EP’s. Another chance find at the same time among the archives of DJ Spatts from The Criminal Minds turned up their remix of “The Greatest Thing”. The result is three Seminal reissues that sound better than the original pressings, now changing hands for silly money on Discogs, if you can find one in playable condition.
