This was originally on '106 Records', but we only made 3 Test Pressings. When I eventually put it out (after Warp's half finished version) it was on 'Essence'.

After Nipper allegedly stole the DAT from the studio, he took it to Warp who bought it off him there and then for a few hundred quid. According to Stev (Studio Manager) Nipper never did jack to the track. I can't say for certain as I was not there.
However it seems obvious when you look at the other 'Kid Unknown' tracks that he couldn't write a sick note let alone a great Breaks track.

This version was originally going to be credited as by 'Aurora 7' (another shit name by Stev, like 106 Records from his Juno keyboard). The mixes here are the complete finished versions, the warp release is a half completed studio demo.

There was a legal battle after all this, but I wasn't arsed really. I Just put this version out for a laugh.
Maybe to do someone's head in I suppose.
Don't know who, cause I've never met Nipper, and quite admire Warp.

I think we only made 500 copies?
