This release was bootlegged soon after its release. The bootleg can be viewed here. The easiest way to tell them apart is checking the runout groove. The original press has the song titles etched in the runout while the repress does not.

Review by Dorstlesser Jan 05, 2009
It's kinda short, and B1 and B2 are essentially the same, except that B2 is instrumental. Still, what's on the A side is all quite impressive. Nice titbits of heavy beats and grimey basslines with Flylo's 'old vinyl'-distortion mixxed between it. Forcing birds to do R2D2 impressions also works out fine. The B1 is another awesome track; more grimey basslines and hiphop beats with some nice raps on top of them. B2 and B3 seem a bit redundant in that they neither amaze nor really go anywhere in particular.

As you may allready know, all the tracks on this EP are remixes. Look up the originals for yourself if you can be bothered.

Therefor: 4 stars for giving us some awesome tracks.

If you are not a really avid collector, there's no reason for you to pay any ridiculously high aftermarket price for this, it's not THAT epic. Also, watch out for bootlegs! The originals have the track names engraved allon the runnout groove on both sides. But since this was done by hand, smart bootleggers will have probably copied this. My copy also has the letters 'MPO' engraved allonside the tracknames on both sides, and FLY001A and FLY001B on their respective sides.
