Most people associate this with the row of LP spines that I put on the back cover and inside CD tray – many people have picked out certain records that they spotted in there that meant something to them. I’m not sure what I was thinking with this release but it’s based around records, mailers and the infamous ‘Save The Vinyl’ logo. The 12″ double packs came in 3 different colours – yellow, orange and burgundy – with the same artwork save for the colour code and text of which mix was on the volume.
It’s kind of a mess to look at now and I probably rushed it without fully thinking it through but hey – it does the job and a lot of people remember this release with a lot of affection. This is probably the DJ Food record most people in London would associate with the Stealth nights at the Blue Note from ’95 to ’97 as it is packed full of great mixes, a rarity for remix albums these days.
