I just added 5 images from the original Warp press release, (I scanned 5 pages out of the 15 pages available)
Does anyone have the same press release with its Test Pressing?
Please let me know!

What a great album. For me personally, not a dance floor LP (like GPR or warp singles releases), maybe more for beard stroking but such a variety of sounds and styles. Techno, breakbeat, ambient, experimental, quite a smorgasbord but strangely cohesive as a whole. This LP is a great example of the way early british electronic music pioneers created their own sound, a sort of intellectual techno, intellechno? Shame the pressing is a load of crap! Bronze! ffs

Echo what others have said about the pressing issues. I bought mine on release and had all the AI warp releases on coloured vinyl. The best sounding one in the series was Speedy J ‘ginger’ all the others had issues. This and the grey vinyl Autechre lp are the worst.
Having said that this is a stunningly good record musically.
It’s light years ahead of most stuff from that time considering this was all midi driven and DAWs were hugely expensive and in their infancy. Most of this is made and recorded on hardware.
One of my top ten LPs of all time…

Hands down still a fav in 2021. Thank the cosmos for labels like WARP early on taking on such quirky and odd electronica and offering it to us feeble listeners in America! This B12 and Autechres debut are STILL go to listens irregardless of the contorted looks I might get from friends the music is just as fresh as it was back in the day(ok a few drum loops are dated!).

Are the interlude tracks not on the CD version of Bytes?

sooooo much soul in this record. "Merck" is one of my all time favorite songs now :) They made some pretty incredible synths and gear back in the 90's huh? Glad these guys made this album.
