Big Ears After 14 years it is over....

No- I'm not giving up Dj'ing yet- although I am on the verge. This is something much more geeky than that.

I heard a record on a mix tape in 1993.
It was an old Sasha mix tape- but wasn't actually named as sasha, as it was done under another name.
No inlay, no tracklisting, and of course this was in the days pre interweb.

I've been searching for the artist, the name and a subsequent copy of this record for almost 14 years with absolutely nothing to go on. Ive played it to people, and drawn blanks. Ive emailed people clips (i still have the tape!) and had nothing offered as a suggestion. I've tried the phone service in the uk where you dial 2580 and hold the phone up and it texts you the name- and it has got it wrong every time.

Completely randomly and unexpectedly today, I was making one of my many browses and purchases on Juno. Had one final look in the sale in the house section (Ive raided most of the good stuff ) and purely by chance clicked on the wrong record to open and listen.
had a listen, and f*ck me if it wasn't a bootleg remix of this track! Same vocal- would recognise it anywhere.
So, a little google detective work and some quick checks at my regular deleted and rare online haunts and I've finally tracked it down and bought a mint original copy.

Transformer 2- 'can't get enough'(the album version- not any of the 90s remixes) . I cant find any samples of the mix I am on about- only the cheese-tastic positiva remixed mixes and some others.

Not particuarly rare or collectable- but this one tune is the earliest house tune I remember liking, and it has been bugging the hell out of me for a looooooong time. If it wasnt for this tune I perhaps wouldnt have bought my first atari and copy of cubase and learnt to write and produce, which led to my DJ'ing career. Scary! FOURTEEN YEARS!

Semi- pointless and very geeky thread I suppose, but beats the shit out of another 'which headphones should I buy' thread doesn't it ?

Great story!

I've been DJing for around 12 years, and know how
good it feels when you find that one record
that you've been searching feverishly for.

It's always when you least expect, things pop up.

Congratulations Dude.

it's a fucking classic that tune. The Perpetual mix is the greatest version. classic 90's tune.

Thats awesome, I have a couple similar situations.

Years ago when I was really getting into DJing, around 1996 maybe even 97, I heard a mix on the radio by a couple local DJs, there was one track in it that was played and blew my mind, I also recorded the mix onto a tape at the time, and did similar things with trying to get people to recognize the track, this went on for ever and I had no luck, and couldn't find DJs who played it, I never heard it again and basically gave up, well after afew years and then moving to Canada, about 2 years ago I was browsing the England forum on TA, and made a comment about some of the local DJs from my home town, well there was a guy who rarely comes here but was on around the same time and he saw my post and PMed me, so we ended up talking alot on MSN and of course got around to talking about the DJs and the music, I ended up sending him a copy of a couple of the mix tapes I got from the radio show, and I mentioned to him that I LOVE the track at xx:xx into the mix, he KNEW the track and gave me the name of it.....I was blown away, it took me years and having to go to the other side of the world to find out the name, but I still didn't have the track, and it turned out it was in very limited supply as it was actually made by those 2 local DJs that span it on that show, and they only made afew copies and they had all been sold, as obviously it was an old track by now, but after about 5 months of searching online constantly, I got lucky and found it at some little tiny store in the middle of Eastern Europe (can't remember the name of the country).

All I can say is, GOOD things DO come to those who wait.

Oh and if anyone wanted to know the name of the track it was Mad-M - Savannah.

I have other ones that are similar, one which includes a track which I tracked down and ordered not long ago and I JUST this second recieved it.

This reminds me of a track I was searching for by Enigma for like 2 years, before I even knew what who Enigma was.
