Prodigy, The - What Evil Lurks


more images
Label: XL Recordings
Catalog#: XLT 17
Format: Vinyl, 12"
Country:UK
Released:Feb 1991
Genre: Electronic
Style: Breakbeat, Hardcore
Notes:Approximately 7,000 copies pressed.

Due to the high demand, a lot of bootlegs have been pressed. The official release comes in a silver and black XL Recordings housing sleeve. Some copies have a What Evil Lurks sticker on it. Not all official copies have this sticker though and a copy which comes in an original sleeve can STILL be an illegal copy.

An original copy should have 'THE EXCHANGE' engraving in the run out groove of the vinyl. If this is not engraved in the record, it is a fake record, even if it comes in an original sleeve.

The first illegal copies came in a plain black sleeve. On the B-side it DID NOT state Android, instead it read ANDROIDS (with an S behind the word!). It also lacks The Exchange engraving in the run out groove.

The second run of illegal copies was more difficult to spot. It did not have the Androids error and the center label of the record was almost identical to the original record - so similar that it's very hard to see the difference! But it also lacks THE EXCHANGE engraved into the run out groove. This is how to tell the difference between the illegal copy and the original.

There has also been an official reissue of this EP in commemoration of the 15th Anniversary of XL Recordings. That edition has a different catalogue number - XLXV 1501

Illegal or not, this EP absolutely kills it... this was what got me into techno in the first place. Quirky vocal samples, funky breaks, perfect twists and turns into the music... techno just had unlimited potential back then. This record would work any sort of dance floor today: "WHAT EVIL LURKS IN THE HEARTS OF MEN!"
