Hi y'all,
I realize I might be getting into dubious idm territory here, so flame if
you must (or just reply privately, if you've got the info I'm asking for).
The first Tortoise remix EP (U.N.K.L.E.) to come out was on City Slang
(the UK label, but it was licensed from Thrill Jockey (USA)) and had the
number Shell 001 on the label, but etched on the vinyl was Shell 002 (with
the 2 scratched out and a 1 next to it). The second one to come out was
remixed by Oval and came out on Thrill Jockey and had the number 12.3 (on
the label and etched into the vinyl) *and* the store where I got it had
put a label on it saying "Third Tortoise Remix EP". I asked them what the
second one was (this is Reckless in Chicago (where Tortoise are from)) and
they had *no* idea and said that these were the only two they had gotten.
Any clues from anyone out there? Maybe the Scanner or Aphex are gonna be
#2?
Much thanks in advance for any info.....
cya
