Autechre – Basscad,EP

The two best remixes on one record. Unfortunately, my copy features odd bits of surface noise/distortion in a few spots on the Beaumont Hannant side, even though the record is cosmetically at least VG+. Curious if this is a common problem.

Yes, this is almost the full UK 3x10", a US 2,5x10"!
The only mix missing is the Basscadet (Tazmx) 6:56, which isn't a bad take at all, an Ae Acid Jazmx of sorts, and I guess they could've managed to squeeze that one in, but the US 12" usually omit a track or two but do combine more than one UK format.
Not a bad choice at all, and apart from the artwork/box/ae visual experience and said 6th track, this US 12" is very much good Ae bang (or clang) for the buck.

I bought this directly from the US more than 20 years ago, when buying overseas was "an adventure" and just as a curiosity, I've managed to buy every Ae vinyl outside of Discogs, albeit that they were bought before the market place came into existence, but it was all local shops, warp, friends and eBay - ancient times but timeless endless memories from the Ae boys up until about 1996.

There are a total of seven different remixes here, but none of these releases include all of them. Would be great to have a vinyl reissue, maybe a 2xLP, that has all of them! I find each of them better than the original album version. The 12/4cadetmx is especially good. This is some great Halloween music!

So glad I got this box set of 45rpm's - Absolutely love being able to play at 33rpm and get a completely different flavour to the tracks (I personally prefer them at 33rpm). Highly recommended - fantastic audio quality to these records.

Beaumont hannant mix is the best.. never know it's 33 or 45 haha

The Taxmx is my favourite one. I love the rave/Carl Craig vibe (e.g. 'Please Stand By').

This release contains all the best remixes of the original track "Basscadet" : Bcdtmx, Beaumonthannanttwomx and 12/4cadetmx.
It's more interesting to get this one than the 3 x 10" serie of "Basscadetmxs"

I don't recall the three 10"s being sold already in the box....I was sold the first one in the box and the other two separately all at £1.99 each. (Fopp, Byres Road, Glasgow). I never saw the first 10" without the box at the time, only subsequently.

Interesting but none sound as good as the original on Incunabula

Curse of "limited to x copies" is spreading quite fast!
