Two versions of this Archer pressing exist, depending the plant which was used by the company. A first one is reading a circa 70 mm stamped ring on the labels, also called ‘large bush’ type (Lened plant), a second one an other kind of rings also called ‘muffin’ type with two stamped rings (SMT plant).

A third similar version which is reading a different pressing ring specification than Archer ones, also exist.

    Is the Bleep.com version they have in now the 2024 re-press? It says 2012 year attached to it?

        got the original. this blew the roof off of many a Florida clubs back in the day. you want old school breaks with a Detroit/electro vibe. this is about at the top of the list.

          It was techno, it was electro, it was acid and it was totally epic. A militant sound of, and from, Detroit, that was markedly the next wave of the original. Landmark UR that took the torch from the forefathers and ran even further into the future. Some say, the best track ever.

              Being a late adopter on this by at least a couple of years; I must add that it's one of my favourites.

                On my Archer pressing with the 70mm ring, the sound drops out a couple of times briefly (less than a second) towards the end of 'Final Frontier'. Is this the same on all copies of this pressing?

                My other copy with the 32mm 'muffin type' ring does not do this.

                  One of the masterpieces of all dance music, you can't f*ck with this track, will make you cry if you got a soul.

                      The main reason this has never been repressed is that Mike Banks told a story that he had lost the master plates to this release........
