'''''Ultimate Breaks and Beats''''', commonly abbreviated as '''UBB''', is the name of a 25-volume compilation of mostly full-length songs that were known for their [[break (music)|breaks]]. The series features music, released between 1966 and 1984, which features a prominent drum break. The records came out on the Street Beat label in the mid-1980s. The release of a new volume in this series usually led to a wave of [[Hip hop music|rap]] records using the breaks. Re-releases of these LPs, some packaged in pairs for [[disc jockey|DJ]] [[scratching]] and [[beatmixing|mixing]] convenience, became available and may be found in record stores today. CDs of some of the volumes may be found as well. In 2006, a compilation of most of these volumes was released digitally on a 2 disc CD + DVD. |
