So, while shopping around on Junodownload, I quickly noticed a lot of tracks from older labels are disappearing from availability.
I would encourage any buyer wanting to collect some 2000s favorites to start now and go buy those old tracks now.

When it comes to Junodownload, a bunch of stuff was removed several years ago because they didnt exist at a higher quality than 320kbps mp3s.

That is actually one of the reasons I have second thoughts about putting up content on juno.
a few years back I put what was at that moment the whole brightspeed backcat on juno. It was painstakingly labeled and uploaded only to be watered down to around 30% of all the releases within the first year of using their system. They said it was because of tracks that weren't selling and that they had to clean up and make space, or something along those lines.

Hmm, I mean, Quosh Records no longer has the bulk of their 2000s tracks on Junodownload, but I know they were 320 cause I bought them back in the day.
I just think it's time to jump and get what older tracks you can because tracks are no longer available within certain labels' catalogs.

To my knowledge, a large share of the the 50 first Quosh were vinyl rips. I know the original Product of the Devil was

Yeah lots of the early quosh digitals were vinyl rips, I have all the catalogue that is available digitally, Chris sorted me out over lockdown with everything and then I got some
Other bits from sy last year and they don?t have studio masters/darts of lots of the early stuff but the vinyl rips are very good quality and you wouldn?t even really know with a lot of the stuff you would just think it?s a 320 mp3 as not many cracks or vinyl pops

Think we were properly screwed when trackitdown went down. That was the go to rather than juno or beatport for me
Trackitdown, ImoDownload, & Serious Sounds where the best.

Yeah, lots of stuff has disappeared from JD over the last few years. Sometimes you can find the missing stuff on Beatport but it's more expensive. I have gaps in my collection i really would like to fill.
The last couple of years i've been replacing MP3's i bought years ago with WAV.
Still trying to track down Quosh QSH001 to QSH049 in WAV but don't think they're available anymore.
Just completed Impact Records but don't think some were released in digital format. One missing release i found on Bandcamp.
Next Generation & Blatant Beats i have all that was available. Currently working on Evolution Records & Essential Platinum.

Be careful when buying the currently available Essential Platinum releases from Evil Co.
It's truly horrifying what they have done.
Aka stealing the happyhardcore.com preview video of sunshine after the rain and releasing it as the full track
Wow. I haven?t seen a lot of the earlier releases on Essential Platinum?s 2000 reboot since IMO Download. The new owners have done such a crap job of making the back catalogue available.

Could anyone confirm if these Next Generation Records releases were released in digital format please? They are the only ones i'm missing from my Next Generation collection. Haven't been able to find them for sale anywhere.
I messaged Brisk a while back & he said he lost all the files when a hard drive broke.
NG 030 - Euphoria feat Kristy - Too Beautiful / No Way Out (2004)
NG 034 - Euphoria feat MC Casper - Forbidden Fruit / Angel Calling (2004)
NG 082 - Euphoria - Final Goodbye / Dreadhed - Pussy Like Bitches (2008)

99% of NextGEn/BlatantBeats were released digitally (I own 4 of those 6 tracks you listed), but that was on their own MP3 store. Seems like a few tracks slipped through the crack when going to other digital stores.
I don't know if it's still in the works, but supposedly Brisk knows there is a bunch of tracks missing, but he might make a "usb" himself... but that was 2 years ago i heard about that.

Thanks for the reply. I wondered if they may have been removed for copyright reasons?

doubt it, as most of Vagabond's stuff appears to be written by himself (cant say I have heard the lyrics anywhere else)

I wasn't sure but thanks. I did try to contact him about the missing releases but never got a reply back.
