Many of the classic battle records are on vinyl and it's challenging to find them on CD. Super Duck Breaks is a real classic one that you can now get on cd. Here's some information on it.

This is where I purchased it.

Here's the text from a remix magazine article that has some other solid ones.
The selection of battle-break albums on the market is constantly growing. The following are among my personal recommendations, with some of their most attractive features highlighted to help you determine which ones suit you.
Super Duck Breaks
(Stones Throw Records)
Probably my all-time favorite battle-break album, Super Duck Breaks includes two awesome scratch sentences containing many familiar samples laid out in a way that allows you to create some brilliant scratch routines. Additionally, it features eight medium-tempo hip-hop beats suitable for scratching over (including an instrumental version of Sway and Tech's classic “In Control”). This one is so good you'll want to own two copies!
Hamster Breaks 3 1/2
(TRC Distribution)
Hamster Breaks 3 1/2 is a 2-LP set. One side is stuffed full of classic scratch samples, including a nicely put-together series of samples from LL Cool J's “Rock the Bells,” a turntablist favorite. Two sides of this record set provide first-rate scratch beats, including an instrumental version of Original Concept's “Can U Feel It” beat and the “Live at the BBQ” instrumental by Main Source. The album's fourth side contains some great scratchable beat patterns laid out in a manner that encourages inventive beat-juggling techniques.
Toasted Marshmallow Feet Brayx
(DirtStyle Records)
Probably the most popular of the DirtStyle Records series of breakbeat albums, Toasted Marshmallow Feet Brayx features some good low- to midtempo beats for scratching. Each side ends in a locked groove tone that makes it easy to practice tone-scratching techniques. Most important, the record provides some classic and brilliant scratch sentences, including the famous “Aaaah, that stuff is really fresh” and Flavour Flav's “Yeaaaah boyeeee.” It also offers one good scratch sentence, consisting mainly of beats, that lends itself to beat juggling.
Bionic Booger Breaks
(DirtStyle Records)
Another classic from DirtStyle, Bionic Booger Breaks features one side of beats (including the Public Enemy “Miuzi Weighs a Ton” beat and the “Pump, pump, pump, pump me up” beat) and one side of scratchable samples, beat combos, and kung fu — movie samples. Some of the famous Invisibl Skratch Piklz/Rock Steady DJ routines used many samples included on this record.
Hee Haw Brayks
(DirtStyle Records)
Hee Haw Brayks is a bit different. One side features some obscure but very scratchable beats, both fast and slow. The other side is an excellently constructed masterpiece of several classic, desirable samples laid out in multiple ways. If you are looking for the classic “Aaaah” or “Fresh” sample, you will find it here in many different places following other familiar (and highly sought after) scratch samples. This record includes the start of LL Cool J's “Rock the Bells,” as well as a locked groove at the end of each side — one a continuous beat, the other a continuous tone.
