Eclectic Method – History of Sampling

Not sure about how Revolution No. 9 has the Amen break (err, no), but here’s a good primer from Eclectic Method on the early history of sample culture – although as the excellent WhoSampled points out, some of these have been sampled by hundreds of artists with the most sampled not being featured here – Beside’s Change The Beat which most know as ‘It’s SO FRESH’ – which as Ian Fondue correctly pointed out, after 3 decades using that sample isn’t actually that fresh anymore ;-).
