- There's very few 4 track eps where all four are 5* tracks, infact I think this and Fantazia first taste ep are the only two records I know of where I feel every all four tracks are amazing.
- Found this gem in my collection when I took them out of storage mine was a plain white label but I must of written on the bside for track 2 Also bside track one has a nasty scratch at the beginning but what a find run outs same as above.
- Edited 10 years agoKnowthaledge’s comment below is 100% correct about the runout text. I bought my copy in 1990 in London and the version of Sundog on here is a different version. Also, Surkit has been repressed onto a Reel By Real compilation recently and is the track sampled by LTJ Bukem on ‘Atlantis (I Need You)'.

referencing Sonar 123 (12", 33 ⅓ RPM) PF014
This slightly re-arranged 1993 Peacefrog version of the 4-track various artists "Sonar 123 EP" orginally released as a white label in Detroit in 1990 remains the most affordable edition (eventhought still rare) of what is arguably one of the greatest 'classic' techno EPs of all time.
We are talking here of 4 stellar, untouchable productions, which include two legendary artists at their best (Juan Atkins' "Sunlight" -replacing here the more climatic "Sundog" from the original Interface EP- and Anthony Shakir's industrial-bleepy supergroover "Sonar123" are easily in their Top5 tunes ever), backed by two lesser-known but cult artists showcasing pure magic : Neuropolitique's "Mind You Don't Trip" is still one of these defining brain-messing techno moments some 20 years after, and as for "Surkit", it is still as i am checking one of the finest, lushest, most blissful moments in the entire Detroit techno history.
Only one of these tunes present on the EP backed with average stuff would already make it a classic ; the four of them tied together for eternity turn this into an absolute strike. - Edited 13 years agoMy white label has a straight yellow luminous-marker stripe drawn on one side of the label, as does my friends copy. We both bought them in 1990.
- Edited 19 years ago500 copies of the Sampler where pressed, Mastered by Ron Murphy (NSC), pressed at Archer with 'For the groove readers..Metroplex/Interface underated & dangerous' all etched into the run out grooves of both sides...the version of 'Sundog' on this is different from the version released on ULR & the Sonar 123 release on Peacefrog omitted this track & added Infiniti 'Infinity'...No sticker, No stamp..just plain white label in a plain white shrink wrapped die cut sleeve.
- originally 500 were pressed {hand written} the others had a printed sticker on the label.{for the groove readers},metroplex,underated and dangerous.
- 500 white label, hand written copies, rumored to be bootlegged in N.Y. not long after release date, in another 1000 bootleg copies.
