This and several other Drop Bass records were re-released not too long ago. I would rather have the original colored-vinyl releases, but nobody locally seems to want to get rid of theirs. Can you blame them? For a long-haired average guy out of Milwaukee, WI, Kurt Eckes really turned out some of the best techno being made for a while there. This was a very unique first time out in its day. I had the opportunity to talk to Kurt a couple of years ago and was sure to compliment him on his label. His parties were average to me, especially in his later days, but his label in 1993-1995 was turning out GOOD STUFF! This was the beginning. I've seen not only a clear vinyl of #1, but a green one as well. Or maybe it was orange... Hmmm, I don't quite recall. Either way, there were choices back in the day. A good friend of mine who got me into techno way back in '92 has two different color-vinyl releases and a white-label. Pretty cool. Not all Drop Bass stuff was "hardcore", and for a while hard acid was called "hardcore", but I think hardcore took on a different form when Nasenbluten(?) and Doormouse (among others) turned hardcore away from distorted 303s and 909s and toward Fastracker-based sample-based material. But Drop Bass had the rights first, and I like it!
