Notes
(P)1986 Dance Mania Records.
(P)1987 Maget Records Ltd. are the exclusive licencees for Europe.
2 different pressings exist of this, distinguished by a 1 or a 2 after the run-out inscriptions:
MAGDT1 A1 vs MAGDT1 A2 , MAGDT1 B1 vs MAGDT1 B2
Pressing 1 is cut slightly wider and faster on the A, and narrower and slower on the B, and has a beefier sound. The sound of pressing 2 is slightly less bassy but crisper in the hi's. Various mastering faults (probably tape drop-outs) are common to both.

What a tune. Just sums up everything that was great about jack tracks in 1986. A pumpin bassline and primitive drum loops, a simple sample repeated over and over, yet the way these elements are combined is amazing, as they are brought in an out of the mix to form peaks and troughs, eventually winding up in an intense plateau of dancefloor magic.
