I have a '92 or '93 release of this track on a Network label (UK acid/bleep label that disappeared around '94) 12". It has a couple of bleepy remixes and then the original in full glory. The vinyl is clear and center label orange, sorry I don't remember the cat #.... I have to wonder if the bassdrum is as big on the original pressing, since the track sounds like it has '93 mastering rather than '83... no Robert Gordon remix tho' ;-( Solenoid > > I would say that "Planet Rock" was pretty much everone's favorite with > > umpteen mixes of that floating around the country.
