Listened to a lot of Drum and Bass/Jungle/Breakbeat today. Nearly all of the tunes use the "Amen Break", a 6 second drum break sampled from this record, Amen Brother, the B side of Colour Him Father by the Winstons (this is my copy, the needle at the exact point the break starts).

It is the most sampled record of all time, by a huge margin. It got me thinking, and I have almost certainly heard the 6 second break, or parts of it, over a million times, literally, over the last 35 years or so. Mind blowing!
