Can confirm that the OG is real treat compared to the repress thing; which isnt bad sounding. -
One for the Skanna collectors in my opinion not the best of his works but a nice enough tune. Was quite rare before the 2017 repress which was a good job. Being a Skanna fan glad I could finally get a copy without paying ridiculous odds which as of the time this was written I can see a copy for £250 ... who in their sane mind would pay that ? -

What a shame for the people charging silly money for the original but great for fans of music, top reissue -

I paid £150 for mine ! It's mint!! And a blinding tune! Best add to my skanna collection,;-))) -
Edited 9 years agoI'm such a fool. I was offered $100 AUD for VG+ this 3 years ago. I have every other Skanna release on vinyl except this tune and I declined. Then the guy sold it on e-bay for the same and complained there was no market for it. It was the go-go-go piece that turned me off, but kicking myself now. -
One of the most underrated hardcore tunes from the era when darkcore ruled. The talent of john graham is undeniably world class, this tune is just what hardcore is all about. Wild stabs, great basslines and wicked synths. If only this music were being made today we'd have some of the most memorable tunes on the planet, wicked. If only the joker didnt appear in batman we might still have these tunes today.
