Must of been something in the water in 1990. Either way it was a good time to start an eccentric nightclub which played just about anything that could make you move. The beats the thing. But this opens with a sample of "How Soon Is Now" by The Smiths. Another song we often played at the club. Of course a few Smiths fans would get upset when the beats came in. But if they stuck around long enough we'd make it up to them with the original and so much more. Had a 12 inch of this which I played at the Lizard. When I tried to replace it on CD a few years later it took ages and quite a few buys to find the right version. Something that happens quite a bit when I'm trying to find music from this period that I've lost. Before the onset of the Internet I would be buying different compilation CDs trying to find the right remix. It used to drive me nuts.
Scouring the second hand CD shops looking through dodgy comps for the right version. At the same time I found stuff I might never have heard.
Thinking about it now ..why on earth was some unknown band sampling Johnny Marr? Damn good though. Though some of this stuff I'm a bit hesitant to go back to in case it doesn't hold up outside the confines of the Lizard lounge.
