Reviews
- Very few British acts in 1988 were making anything as good as the USA acid house tracks. Baby ford and 808 state for me are the only acts to succeed. I've literally worn this record out twice and needed to buy new copies.
Oh and Oochy koochy is exactly the right rthymn for sex/love making. - Very big record back in the days of acid rave. London was the place to be and many classic club classics was generated around this scene.
- Edited one year agoClassic acid track, "Oochy Koochy" just morphs and builds all the way through, as the acid riff, synth stabs and piano interplay throughout the track, pure class that still sounds amazing today.
- Aphex twin sampled the "yeah yeahhh" on early "Classics" track. He later made a Baby Ford remix on his Mr.Men label. .
- Quite easy to tell which one is the "raw" version and which isn't: the first presses don't have a picture of a little ear with a line through it on the back. The reason for this? Simple. Apparently the bassline on the first press wasn't actually EQ'd properly, and was WAY too heavy. The first time it was played out over a big system (at Heaven IIRC) it blew the speakers. Rhythm King records, fearing that they'd get sued by angry club owners, remixed the track and issued a second sleeve with the "watch your ears!" logo.
- Edited 12 years agoThis first original pressing is far better than the re-released version with "Flowers" track on b side. It's very similar to the other one but with a difference : there is the fat "acid" bassline that evolves during all the track wich makes the difference & i think too this is a more "Raw" version that gives here a best result.
