EPC 25564




mega-mixed by froggy (steve howlett) and probably used by a lot of semi-pro jocks in the early 80's who needed a "piss break" record. or maybe bought by people who wanted to pretend they were in a club when in fact they were at home. either way it's a great slice of club culture from 1983. mine's a white label copy with promo sheet (see above). it's not in the best condition but it plays perfect. froggy sadly passed away in 2008 and is an almost forgotten footnote in the history of deejays. there's a great interview with him on the djh website which is also printed in the dj revolutionaries book. i've never seen this record before and i doubt i'll see another. some bloke has one on discogs for 75p, which is 25p cheaper than my copy. once again i had to wade through loads of shit to find this. it's not a glamorous job being a vinyl junkie, but someone's got to do it.
