how about a bigger boat?

It's a killer... it's a man-eater!!

Out of interest, did anyone ever hear this played in '91? Was around May '92 the first time I heard it....

this track is so well edited...the best thing about it is there are lots of Jaws samples; but they all fit perfectly....where as other tracks might suffer from overkill, this track is produced in a fashion that really utilises the samples for full effect...the dramatical musical sequences really highlight the feel of the way the film was and the mechanical, grinding sounds are like a metal shark gnarling its way through a boat or something akin; the switch up of breaks really takes the whole track to another level.....it's very intense, layered and brilliantly formatted....no piano or twinkly hands in the air vocal....just pure menacing and hard-hitting sounds with samples galore to really get the juices flowing.


Can't recall this being played on any '91 tapes I had or have had; definitely think this was being played even in its early inceptions around the time you mention...May 1992, maybe a bit before but I don't know for sure...........I think it's ahead of it's time and has a very unique sound and feel to it......it defies a lot of the usual trends and just works off its own merits........if it was 1991 or 1992; either way, this track is an absolute classic in Hardcore folklore and even within the broader spectrum of Dance music. Bonafide classic!

I funnily enough had a copy of this sent to me today, my most expensive bit of vinyl so far but well worth it

I make that 3 people... Time for an impromptu game of naked Twister

My closet's are full to the brim with old skeletons... Aint got no room for any new ones

Thankfully he didn't go for the £25 repress... So must have been a fair sum if it was VG+... I got my near mint copy for £30

I paid £45 for it but for a classic which is 20 years old I couldn't pass it up as they dont come around very often

Some would say that's a silly amount to pay for a record but i think it's worth every penny

I think that's a good price too.......given the ridiculous nature of sellers slapping on 100 pounds plus price tags, I was surprised to see it less that 50. And Leon, yours at 30 is even better...you both did well; I can imagine the next time the price will be the teeny bit more!!

I thought i got a good deal getting mine for £55 but £30 is an absolute bargain
