NME - Mighty Reel - side A

The age of this tape shows. It won't even play all the way through which is the reason you only get a chunk of it (the usual reason is impatience with shite tracks!).

The Kid Creole tune is great and the Brother D track (misnamed, it's actually "How we gonna make this black nation rise?") is a slightly different version than I've heard before.

Vox magazine - Radio On! - B

A tape of live Radio One recordings. Sleeve didn't carry much information which is a shame as it would have been interesting to know where/when certain tracks were from. The Orb track is certainly an interesting release and ends with a spirited rendition of "I do like to be beside the seaside"!

B1 Shamen, The - L.S.I.
B4 Orb, The - Into The 4th Dimension

NME - Department Of Enjoyment - A

A tape from 1984. Interesting the stuff that the NME thought was cool from these old tapes. Seems to have taken a lead from Peel and Kershaw - mostly alternative with a bit of reggae, a bit of world music and a bit of hip hop. The Orange Juice track is interestingly produced by the legendary Dennis Bovell.

A2 Smiths, The - Girl Afraid 2:50
A3 Orange Juice - A Place In My Heart Dub Mix 2 2:22

More exclusives from Select magazine. This is the only official release for the Prodigy track featured.
