Jeromy try and post a sample

So much uncertainty surrounds this issue of the "original" mix. The only person I know who has heard the original version is Grimreaper (a member here on TA), Cosmic Baby sent him a sample of it in the early 90s on cassette.
Just for the sake of it I'll paste a quote of his from another thread:

For those who argue about the existence of the "Original Mix", it does exist or at least did back in 1990 or 1991 (can't remember exactly anymore). I contacted Cosmic Baby himself about the track a long time ago and he said the real original was made mainly by Kid Paul with some help from him. It was made more or less for fun and because they weren't that satisfied about the result, they decided to dump it and not release it at that time. Later on in late '92 due to some requests about it (or some sort of interest) from the fellow producers and DJs, they dug it up from the bin and wanted to give it a second chance by doing their own rebuilt views about it. Finally in '93 it got released with 4 mixes, Kid Paul Mix/Cosmic Baby's Impression/Peace Mix (by Kid Paul)/Porte De Bagnolet Mix (by Ralf Hildenbeutel).

I guess because the real original never got out officially in any format, only a handful or less of whiteys titled as "NR52 - Cafe Del Mar" got out in '91. Kid Paul Mix being closest to it stylewise and soundwise, it's nowadays known as the original version of Cafe Del Mar.

My personal fav is Nalin & Kane Remix.
