Pure Garage went on to receive platinum record sales and peaked at number 2 on the UK national compilation chart.^[1] The Pure Garage series is the most acknowledged and best-selling UK garage compilation series to date. The series has sold over 2 million records.^[2] Pure Garage Rewind Back to the Old Skool was released on 3 December 2007; after just two weeks on sale it had already earned itself gold disc status with over 100,000 copies sold.^[3] The Very Best of Pure Garage, released on 1 December 2008, is the first Pure Garage CD that was not mixed by DJ EZ, rather it was mixed by Matt "Jam" Lamont.
