What’s surprising about this release is the relatively low price to get an original 1st pressing with the wrong speed.
Yes it sold millions in it’s life but there were very few of the first pressing, the initial delivery only as the next delivery was the corrected speed version.
Who new who Frankie were on the initial order and certainly weren’t aware of the storm coming down the line. Yes we went on to sell hundreds of copies of this record but there were no more than a handful of the first delivery. -
Since there's 181 titles to look through,
I thought I'd just ask.
Is the version in Body Double - dialogue 'n' all,
on a 12'' record ? -
I have the very release except A side has wrong of Bomb The Bass "Megablast Rap (Version)" (release Bomb The Bass - Megablast Rap / Don't Make Me Wait). Matrix runout matches this release. -
I suppose ZTT have ensured this record will never be bootlegged! I at the time my local record shop filling the shelves every week with 5-6 new versions. I bought the 7min sex mix in a 'New York' 'crossword style' Island sleeve. The 16min sex mix is not all that, the later remixes are better. 16 min version here if you're interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHCWXHG3NY8 -
Possible buyers, be very aware with this release if you're trying to buy it based upon it being the printed, over 16 minute (Sex Mix) of the track "Relax". This one (and the Canadian one, at least, and perhaps other 12"s under the Master Release here too (?)) is most likely not going to be the one you're after then. It is commonly (if not almost exclusively) incorrectly listed available for sale, and will actually only contain the just-over 7 minute Relax (US Mix) version instead, despite the wrong info on the printed labels and the sleeve. If it has a 45RPM also printed on the label, this will help give away the lie that this is a way shorter version, not the long version d.
