Welcome to the next in my series of postings about the most wanted UK old skool hardcore releases. Here are the top 10\u2019s for the other more obscure formats (who buys their hardcore on 7\u2033!!) ordered by most wanted. Some interesting nuggets come to light here, like the \u2018Waves Of Extinction (Hardcore Rebellion)\u2019 by Orca and the Video EP by Sonz Of A Loop Da Loop Era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
