It is known that Ron Hardy liked to edit some of his favorite tracks in a way that the climax or hook of a song is delayed a long time, therefore teasing the audience infinetely until finally dropping the chorus. Unfortunately this formula does not work on these two edits. On "Peaches and Prunes" the basic guitar/bass line is looped over and over again, the chorus is teased very shortly once but then cut out again. It returns at the very end of the track but is faded out. So you end up with a jumpy and rather poorly edited dj tool. Pretty much the same is true of "Welcome To The Club", which is looped over and over again to reach over 12 minutes in length with no obvious climax.
This release might make sense to Ron Hardy fanatics or collectors, but for the djs it makes more sense to track down the original releases.
