Ultimate Breaks & Beats

Ultimate Breaks and Beats ( also commonly abbreviated as UBB ) was a series of 25 compilation albums released from 1986 to 1991 by Street Beat Records edited by "BreakBeat Lou" Flores. Featured on the albums were tracks from 1966 to 1984 that included drum breaks. The albums found high popularity with hip hop producers, with the release of a new volume in the series usually leading to many various hip hop records featuring samples of the breaks.

This is the complete collection as far as I'm aware. If you know of any others, please let me know.
