via Mr.Scruff: “This is one side of a mix tape that was sold in Manchester’s Funky Banana record shop in 1992. I only did 20 copies, although most people heard it when it was given away on the Ninja Tune xx website as part of their 20th Birthday celebrations. This was done using 2 decks, a mixer & pause button edits on a cassette deck. Old School vibes! Thanks to Phil Hendrick for the cover photo..
The track listing is almost complete.. as I did the mix 23 years ago, and my memory isn’t what it used to be, there are a few elusive tracks that escaped identification. Any help is appreciated, so if you know any of the missing tracks, let me know! I am part-way through timestamping the whole thing. Bear in mind that there are 2 tracks playing at the same time for most of the mix, so the track ID will change when a new element comes in.”
