Great album! I actually got a free copy of Bonkers 15 from happyhardcore.com through a little survey, if I recall correctly. For me, living in South America, it was a pretty big deal! One day at the beginning of 2006 I got home and there was a package from RESIST!
Those CD's marked an era for me. :)

We were spoiled back then. Even the tunes I thought were shite at the time are miles better than most stuff ive heard in the last few years.
Remember the album well. Heaven 7 - Dance with me, a personal favourite from this album but there were many classics.

I remember getting this home and every CD in the box was the Scott Brown disc! Had the right covers though
Went back to HMV (Aberdeen iirc) and all the ones they had in the store were all 4 Scott Brown discs and the bloke took them off the shelf. Had to wait a few days to get one delivered by Amazon!

The Scottish sounded a bit too over zealous in their support for their local DJ!

was that a known problem or was it someone who wanted to dick around? :P
I know that some other bonkers had a similar issue with wrong covers. Or in the case of Off Yer Nut!! 2000 :P

Had to have been an issue when there were manufactured as they were sealed but all 4 discs Scott Brown!! It was a good CD but not that good!!
Not sure about my Off Yer Nut 2000 but my original Off Yer Nut had the wrong labels on the Sy & Brisk CDs, wrong way around! I just made stickers and changed the DJ names to what they should be.

Bonkers 15 is one of the best Bonkers in my opinion!!
Hixxy & Re-Con were on fire back then...
Sharkey & Marc Smith's cd was epic!
Scott Brown & Neophyte what a combination!!
Dougal & Gammer cd was great!

Bonkers XI and 12 are my favourites. Probably Bonkers 12 is the one I think is the best of the albums from Bonkers 8 onwards.

Bonkers 12 was saved by the Scott Brown mix. I think it would have been far better if they had just stayed with 3 mixes for that one.
Breeze and Styles mix was packed full of their own tunes and there were several classics in there, but as a mix it all sounded a bit too similar. Hixxy?s mix was well below his standard for that period in time. Think he generally would have done a much better job if he had been able to choose from the best tunes on the Breeze and styles mix.

Off yer nut 2000 has brisk's mix on it twice! slam's mix is meant to be the last mix on cd2 but it has brisk's mix again instead!

I feel the same way. I was obsessed with Electric the first time I heard it but it doesn't have any impact in the Breeze & Styles mix. If nothing else, that one should have been in the Hixxy mix.
