The albums found high popularity with hip hop producers, with each new release in the series leading to many records featuring samples of the breaks. In this way the series impacted the soundscape of Rap, Hip-Hop, Dance, and Pop music in general.[3][4]
Re-releases of the LPs, some packaged in pairs for DJ scratching and mixing convenience, became available and are currently found in many record stores. CDs of some of the volumes may be found as well, including a 2-CD and DVD box set featuring nearly all of the tracks on the 25 albums.
