Phuture - Acid Trax

1988 was the year when Acid House music, created by the African-American producers of Chicago, USA - was catapulted in Europe. Among the labels responsible for this 'invasion' were Desire, ZYX and the Belgian Who's That Beat - this one responsible for releasing the early T99 tunes from Patrick de Meyer & Olivier Abbeloos, as well as Patrick's Tragic Error.

This Belgian label, a sub-division of Play It Again Sam, released the classic "Acid Tracks" as well - the same early Acid House tune played three years before, in 1985, by Ron Hardy on the legendary Music Box - now a hit in Europe, with a different title - "Acid Trax" (had Larry Sherman's homonimous label from Chicago - the same that licenced this tune to the Belgian label - anything to do with this title change?)

On the first side, "Your Best Friend" is in fact "Your Only Friend" from the original Trax release. The name here came out different, but it's the same tune. The acquisition of this Belgian pressing, though released only one year later after the American one by Trax, is highly recommended for it's much higher pressing quality.
