The Final Version

When we decided to call time on our long running best before: party, we thought it would be good to mark the occasion with something extra-special. First, we decided that a bit of a farewell bash was in order, and secured the services of our old pal and regular guest Chris Duckenfield for the occasion. Then we started thinking about doing something special to giveaway - a mix CD or limited artwork. Then we had a brain wave: we'd put together a disc featuring exclusive unreleased re-edits, reworks and remixes from DJs in the best before: family and give it away at the 'Final Curtain' party. Except there's a twist - we'd press up just 50 CDs.

So, here it is: 'The Final Version'.

To say that we're a bit chuffed with it is an understatement. We asked Chris Duckenfield if he fancied offering up some unreleased Popular Peoples Front fodder for the disc, and to our surprise he agreed, sending over a number of belters for the CD. We also asked some of our regular DJs and friends in Bristol for contributions. The response was impressive, and 'The Final Version' boasts gems from Al Dare (resident at BYTE and Socialism) and Vast & Bulbous, whose 'I Love You Too Much' edit is a doozy. The disc also features a couple of classics we released on Pointless Edits - from Hardway Brothers and Thumbs Aloft respectively - and a clutch of edits done specially for 'The Final Curtain' party from yours truly.

There's only one way to get the CD, and that's to head down to Native in Bristol on Friday 20th March for our farewell bash. Come down and claim a piece of history… and enjoy our last hurrah!
