Now Re-mastered for 2022 and with a Quantize-Locked beatgrid to 125 BPM - This is the original 1993 (publicly) Unreleased version of the classic House/Rock guitar driven 'Eighteen Strings' by Tinman. Often referred to as 'The Bootleg Mix', only 300 official vinyl 'promo' copies were pressed up, which had the original [Nirvana] 'Teen Spirit' guitar chords in their correct sequence.
Following a Pete Tong BBC Radio 1 play (the biggest show phone in reaction to any record to that date) numerous vinyl copies were soon pressed up by unscrupulous bootleggers to make a fast buck, but all were grossly inferior to the original pressing. To gain full public release on the later signed FFRR Records version, the guitar chords had to be re-played in a different sequence/order to the 'Teen Spirit' ones, and some other elements were changed also.
So, for the first time ever (and dubbed from the original DAT digital tapes), the original 1993 Un-Released (Extended 12") version is now available in full frequency, lossless WAV/FLAC format, plus MP3 too - remastered by one of the world's top mastering engineers, Conan Liquid. In addition, original Producer Paul Dakeyne has re-quantized the beat-grid to lock the track's BPM (tempo) to precisely 125 BPM - making the track ready for beat-perfect mixing with contemporary dance music!
The original 'B' side 'radio/edit' version of the vinyl promo is also available, which includes a handy, DJ-friendly acapella intro - again, remastered, quantized 125 beatgrid and in WAV, FLAC and MP3 versions.

All of these remixes are great! Really gave new life to these classic tracks. I'm loving the 3 releases I just received in the post. The vinyl is pressed perfectly. Sounds awesome! mrm27
