A cracking EP in every way. However, I wouldn’t say it’s worth the price tag that some people have slapped on it. Especially as you can pick up a mint copy on re-issue for around 8 quid.

this is not a bootleg. it was done in full collaboration with freddy sanon from shelter records.

@AB_DISTWho remastered this and the other classic house 12"s you have re-issued over the past few years.I am always suspicious when I see "fully remastered" on distributors websites but with no re-mastering credits.Cheers.

This pressing seems to be the version that Kerri talks about in this interview. https://youtu.be/48f1ZwBFru0?t=3m20s

What a great house record. Always puts you in a good mood!

I don't rate it either I don't know why but the kick drum is too much for me no real soul in this joint I want to love it but I don't reach for it.

Bootleg or no bootleg, some of these sound shit, so sort it out or stop pumping out inferior pressings. Waste of everyone's time and money,

This record represents a huge brick in the of foundation House Music. Deep House is the lower brick foundation for all other forms of this music. Even though this record sounded great in 93, the vinyl it was pressed on was a little lacking. It was pressed at Sun Plastics Pressing Plant in Newark, New Jersey. I along with many Jersey DJ's were disappointed after purchasing 3 copies the day it came out and 1 of them skipped. This record deserves a UK Double pack REPRESS!!! with each one of the sides pressed on 45RPM. This record is timeless.

Difficult to tell whether it's just this pressing or the production in general but the bass just sounds flat and compressed, in fact the dynamic range on the whole record is pretty non existent. Sprinkles' latest EP has opened my eyes a bit as to how bad some of these classic house reissues sound.

one theory that was proposed to me by a friend was; could it be that they license the tracks (and subsequently spend most of their budget on doing so) whilst going for the cheapest, crappy cuts and pressing?

Feeling the same here; no house punching bass, pretty flat, but still good tracks. Feels like an excellent house classic thats lost a little bit of its soul ;(

Could it be possible that this pressing is a Vinyl transfer and no DAT tapes exist? With that being said I will say out of the 5 or so copies I own all varying from different time periods of represses, the sound quality is pretty much dead on what you described on most if not all of them.

I hope this bootleg sounds good....

enabler disco joints pops up on a lot of reissues talking about how they are bootlegs... really starting to lose credibility with me. cite a source or something I appreciate the compliment. Thank You.

This reissue/repress is done in conjunction with Above Board Distribution based here in the UK, I believe.

Great label - one of my personal favourites when it was released

Great repress. Get this amazing piece of house music history as long as it's cheap!

One of Kerri's finest instrumental records of all time, this Shelter records release is c-l-a-s-s-i-c and priceless if you are a fan of the deep Jersey sound in general and also beyond essential if u r a fan of KC and superior house music production in particular. I bought 2 copies of "Atmosphere"(e.p.) the day it came out, and i'm still smiling years later. you can merely spin both 12" together for 30 minutes and still want more! it's that good. every track is superb, and i love the "oldschool" feeling Kerri injected throughout; and i mean KC's own brand of oldschool, w/ traces of his "Can't Get Over It" (Dee Dee Brave)quite apparent on 1 track as an example. LOVELY!! Tzadik

Absolutely triumphant.
