DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Along with his long-time DJ partner Fabio and contemporaries Goldie and LTJ Bukem, Grooverider is known as one of the originators of the UK jungle/drum and bass scene. In the early nineties he founded Prototype Recordings which soon became the home of many influential 12” singles that showcased a new side of breaks-heavy electronic music: deep, gritty, and futuristic.
In 1997 Grooverider put together a collection of 12 heavy hitters from the Prototype catalogue, some of which previously only available as white label promos on acetate such as Dillinja’s “Silver Blade” and Ed Rush & Fierce’s “Locust”. Lemon D’s “City Lights” was previously only available on acetate and the CD version of this release.
Now, after more than 25 years, a selection of these tracks is available again in the form of a DJ-friendly double LP. Finding these tracks separately will be very difficult, so don’t miss your chance to snag yourself a copy of this one.
The Prototype Years is now available as a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on red vinyl.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are a European label and for the majority of our releases, we only have the European rights, meaning that they’re produced for the European market only. Because of this, these releases are not available for purchase at our MOV shop.

If the record is essential for your collection (which we would understand), we'd advise to search for European shops or marketplaces.
A pre-order product is a product which still needs to be produced. So, after your purchase, you won’t receive this product immediately. We strive to send these on the Release Date which you can find on the product page under the collapsible tab called “Details”.

Let customers speak for us
Great re-issue! The first batch of the series (of 5 batches of 3!) Has just arrived and had their first spin. Great sound, silent and flat vinyl. Just the way I have come to expect from Music On Vinyl. Let the next batch come!
The packaging and art is beautiful!! I love the Young-hee pop up!!
Looks great, well packed and fast delivery.
Looking forward to a rainyday to sest a listern to it.
Would recommend and look forward to my next purchase.
Many thank for a great service.👍
Received in excellent condition. Sound quality is exceptional on this vinyl. Very happy with this purchase. Gave my CD to a friend and I’m listening to this great vinyl record now.
Although the sound of this pressing is not spectacular, it is very good! A discogs review claimed that this pressing "taps you on the shoulders and slaps you in the face" but I wouldn't go so far as to say that it does. But I would say that this pressing sounds fresh and more modern thanks to the better low-end this MOV reissue offers.
It's a very dynamic record with lots of detail and it truly is a great reissue. I did notice a remarkable sonic difference on 'Radio Silence', very detailed and modern sound.
The vinyl labels are a great touch and the printing quality of the sleeve and insert are better than the original.
Pressing: 8/10
Music: 9/10
Sleeve: 8,5/10
Love the sisters and love this album. Suggetsted this and got it! Great quality reissue! Maybe Contact next?
Received my box set today #0013 very pleased, I knew MOV would do these records justice was surprised to see Found All The Parts as a 12” vs the original 10 I only got through In Color but plan on diving into rest all week as time allows. I know as Cheap Trick fans we all have these but do yourself a favor and get this.
