All the skeptical reviews below may hold true for their multidisc compilations. They do indeed go by this rule - a couple of good tracks from established artists mixed with a bunch of no-namers. But actually their "This Is..." comps for drum'n'bass and jungle as well as "Unchartered Territories Jungle Jazz" or "Drum & Bass Sessions On A Jazz Tip" were just superb and I go back to them every now and then. Also the mixes were coming from hi-fly artists from Moving Shadow camp. So they did release very decent compilations as well and I'm happy this label was there.

I agree that the majority of Beechwood's Dance complilations were not worth the asking price when they were first released. The worst offenders have to be the "Strictly.." series with just ONE reasonably well known track and all the rest filler! However like jam1 said, there are some gems that only had a non-vinyl/digital release on these CD comps. It also helps that a lot of these collections are now dirt cheap and can picked up easily online or in various charity shops or cash generator type retailers. So if you can put up with the tacky covershoots (This Is Series...I am looking at you), take a look! :)

I have "This is... Deep House" (BEBOXCD50), a three disc comp and mix which is not listed here or on Discogs at all from what I can see. I don't know if I can be arsed to enter the new submission. I doubt anybody will notice if I don't. However, all the previous comments ar generally true as all these types of multidisc cheapo releases are bloody awful and I remember only buying them because of the low cost.

Love em or hate em... Beechwood did release some albums full of crap, but there are some hidden gems on those albums too. And a few can only be found digitally on these albums.

I don't get why Beechwood does what it does. They take 10 or less great tracks and then about 40 shitty tracks that some teenage douchebag made in his parent's basement and cram them on to a bunch of CDs. Sure, they charge peanuts for it, but I'm sure most people would rather buy 1 CD with 10 great tracks on it than 6 CDs with 10 great tracks mixed in with a bunch of shit. They would be a lot better record label if they just put the good tracks on 1 CD and charged the same. They would probably make more money that way, too, since it costs a lot more to make 6 shitty CDs.

Another idea is that they can take a cardboard box with "This Is... The Best Of Music Ever" written on it and fill it with human fecal matter. That way people won't waste time listening to it, they could just throw it in the trash asap.

Beechwood music release some of the worse dance compilations around. They put a few tracks you've heard of in positions 1,2,3 & 4 on each disc. Then they fill the rest up with really awful tracks, none of which are any more than a drum beat repeating for 6 minutes, with the occasional bit of unimaginative synth. These tracks are credited to different 'artists', but they are all by the exactly the same producer, who works for Beechwood (Usually C. Hampshire). What’s worse is that sometimes these fake artists are purposely given a name very similar to’ a real artist in order to trick you in to buying the disc (Marco P instead of Marco V, for instance).
