Sounds like you're talking about the ep by
Eternal called Mind Odyssey from back
in 1992. The promo was a 1-track 1-sided
vinyl. The finished copies had three versions
of the track Mind Odyssey. I had sed release
several years ago when i was a warp train-
spotter but have long since sold it. I don't
think it was a prank. Several of the early
warp releases were "unusual, cheesy, and/
or bad." Obviously quality control has
increased at warp within the past few
years.
