"This Is Acid (K & T Mix by Les Adams)" rocked the blocks Worldwide (and most specially here in Sao Paulo, Brazil) back in the end eighties on the clubs - but in fact, the first time I heard the classic was through Belgian friends' tapes during high school with all repertories including all that Megamixes and singles from Europe and USA.
Funny as it may seem, I only heard the original version some years after - and I have to confess it's simply amazing as well!
"This is acid!", "I'm gonna give you acid!" will stay on the minds of the fanatic clubbers of that time forever.
This record should be called "This Ain't Acid." All three remixes by Les Adams pretty much completely strip this track of all the raw, dark, 303-driven power of the original, and what we're left with is just generic, forgettable house music.

Big respect for you, Maurice.
