Various – Relics (A Transmat Compilation)

just bought a near mint re press and yes .... the quality is so poor its not worth it. . What a shame . the needle slides and the crackle and pops are shocking

A compilation of Derrick May's Transmat label and released on Buzz. Abdul Haqq cover art. "Galaxy" by BFC is a deep Carl Craig tune that samples Liaisons Dangereuses.

Is there a chance that Long Long Ago 'Another Relic' was pressed before the release date of this compilation? Whether that's on acetate or vinyl or under a different title?

I'm fully aware many of the tracks on this comp were produced by Derrick May during the 1980s and supposedly, previously unreleased up to this point.

The reason for my curiosity is that I've recently stumbled upon a London pirate radio station recording from 1991 where the above track was featured as part of a DJ's set. Where there any pre-releases of 'Relics' floating about before being fully released? Was the CD Test Pressing circulating prior to the vinyl release? Are there Test Pressings of the vinyl release not submitted as of yet? Questions, questions...

A bit too short of a track. But very sweet it is.

All tracks have poor sound quality and the cover is obviously scanned.

Take note, the Original pressing is with the woven cover, all else are boots or repress ... This Org sounds awesome (For an LP that is) ... // Tommy

Did 'Interval X' ever get a release? Sounds like a Paperclip People tune.

I find the sound quality is not the greatest on this knock off, track down either the original press or the 12"s

I paid bobbins for a copy and naturally it turned out to be a knock off or ill repress. It sounds like a wasp nest, bloody unlistenable and in the bin it goes.

some absolute gems here, turn your piggy banks upside down and get saving people..

Amazing early comp, one of the best...
