MC TUNES Vs 808 Only Rhyme That Bites (UK promo video, promo p/s) MC TUNES Tunes Blues / Style Is Poetry (A literal one-off, this is the only copy of this in the world. Directly from Tony Rigg, this is one of the ½" Ampex two track stereo master reels for the 'Lost' album 'Damage By Stereo', that was produced by Trevor Horn for ZTT, but remained unreleased until 2015 on Peter Hook's Haçienda Records label. This particular tape, dated 21.05.91, was engineered by Ren Swan & Robin Barclay, and includes an alternate early 6:25 mix of Tunes Blues,as well as two versions of Style Is Poetry, one labelled 'Master' & one 'Louder LVox'. The reel runs at 30 i.p.s. using the AES Curve & no noise reduction. Both reel and box have also been barcode stickered by AMR Studios, who did the digital conversion) See 'More Info' ... Tracklisting: Background: Following the success of his 1990 debut, 'The North At Its Heights', which featured his two hit singles with Manchester dance pioneers 808 State; 'The Only Rhyme That Bites' and 'Tunes Splits The Atom', MC Tunes [Nicky Lockett] signed a deal with celebrated label ZTT and recorded his next album 'Damage By Stereo' with Trevor Horn, who produced the album at Sarm Studios in London. All was not well, however, and MC Tunes parted company with the label after a disagreement with ZTT, returning his advance in exchange for the master tapes for the album. The master tapes were filed away and pretty much forgotten about as MC Tunes moved on to other projects such as the cult band Dust Junkys. The unreleased album tapes were subsequently lost. [Time passes ....] Over twenty years later, the tapes resurfaced. With the help of analogue experts AMR in Manchester, the tapes were fully restored to their former glory and, with encouragement from Peter Hook, were finally released on his Haçienda Records label in 2015. Acclaimed artist Jay Smith created the cover art for ‘Damage By Stereo’ by painting live on canvas throughout the launch event at Factory 251 on Saturday 19 April that year. So, what do you do with Master Tapes that have now been digitised, filed, mastered and officially released (albeit twenty three years late) ? You're looking at the answer. Directly from entrepreneur and former Ministry of Sound Operations Director, Tony Rigg, here we have one of those very nearly lost master tapes mixing MC Tunes with Trevor Horn's production. To accompany the tapes, Jay EE-Go Smith has supplied signed prints of the album artwork, each individually hand numbered, to go with each of the seventeen reels and tape boxes. For fans of MC Tunes, Trevor Horn, Jay Smith or the Manchester Scene in general, this has to be the ultimate memorabilia!
