I've got the 2xLP of this (not because its acid house, but because I'm a Psychic TV/Genesis P-Orridge collector of sorts) I never thought that this was *really* considered essential, more than probably Genesis considered it so =) There was a discussion recently either on the PTV list or maybe the Coil list were many names were brought up that preceeded and were considered much better than this, along with a rumor that the material was pretty much P-Orridge poking fun at the genre... One way or another, believe that the bulk of this material (plus additional material and new remixes) was acquired by Invisible now that Wax Trax hold on the rights for it has ended and will be released pretty soon (I think this is all the same material) BTW - Jack The Tab is pretty easy to come by... check the cut-out bins and newsgroup forsale lists... see it all the time (more in the cut-bins... a number of years back when wax trax had some financial troubles their releases filled the bins... still see them all the time...) xxxx@xxxxx.xxx[icq: 12645306] http://www.sonic.net/~brap/ sfwd prod | noisesoundnoise chris g. 1547 boston court #7, santa rosa, ca 95405
