Essential early jungle compilations?

alec.tron

Creature of Meat and Hair
Since they've been put out as 'compilations'... the Dubtronix ones, like

http://www.discogs.com/Various-Dubtronix-Junglism-Vol-1/release/497322

Then something from Berlin
http://www.discogs.com/Various-Downbeat-In-The-Jungle/release/422327

And the Labello stuff I haven't seen mentioned ?

Production house:

Also, the reinforced picture discs were somewhat compilation/various artist based...

Another problem of the mid 90s compilation, apart from the bad pressings & tracks fading out are as mentioned before is probably that most feature the same 'hits' continously with a few variations thrown in here and there, so imo the label compilations are a much better snapshot.
