Acid House Remixes

Originally recorded for 808 states live performances in Manchester during the early days of acid house, these two versions of the classic New Order tracks were dug up from the vaults and are now available on vinyl for the first time ever. Apart from being lost acid classics, the tracks provide a glimpse into the burgeoning acid house scene in its earliest days, of which Graham Massey says “They were staples because they were easy to programme, and they bought you an extra ten minutes before you got bottled off. There was a lot of hostility to what we were doing early on. Change will always do that.” The single is followed by the excellent Prebuild cd/lp, music 808 state made before the release of the classic Newbuild Cd/lp (rephlex cat 080). Newbuild is one of the most important records of the late 80’s and one of the most important British dance releases ever made. Prebuild goes even further.
