Who really cares about this spectogram bollocks really, unless you are a purist audophile elitist person. Ive had the Lange mix as a 320 mp3 for a few years, as les gave it to someone who then gave it to me. Sounds fine.

It's more about you are paying for a FLAC / WAV and getting a transcoded MP3 which is the issue.

Ok so 20 years has elapsed and again perhaps the licence is up and they have their hands on the original sound recordings again....

 

The Lange remix 1998 version is presumably the only Lange remix (I uploaded the acetate entry you see on discogs, with the Thrillseekers' Synasthaesia on the flipside) which I then sold, but I wonder why it's OK to release it now when presumably it was a copyright issue in 1998?

My guess is the Lange remix didn't include the sample that caused the problems in the original release.

I got the new releases and it looks like the Lange remix is a lossy transcode :(

I'll post the spectrogram later when I get home. 

Such a shame they couldn't include the "proper" original mix.

Wow, this is a blast from the past! I remember hearing this tune on Jules show back in the day. I kept missing the track ID so I even sent a tape into Radio 1 and someone kindly rung me up to give me the name.

It was the first record on vinyl I ever owned as it was only available on vinyl and no digital formats. After this I soon got some decks and got into mixing.

Would be great if this got a re-release and some remixes and came out in digital format. I remember emailing Les about this years later and sure he said something about it didn't get sample clearance so never got a proper release.

EDIT - Found the email in my gmail. This was in 2010.
