808 White label 12"? (Neukleotide - Sector II / Hybrid)

[Coxy]

I'm not up on all things 808 but have been sorting out a pile of records and have come across a white label 12" which has 808 State written on it and nothing else.
The catologue number in the run off groove is TIDE 01.


Can anyone shed any light???

Interesting. Any chance of a sound sample?

This rings a bell ,I think Darren might have had something to do with it.or it s one of his mates ,Markus ask Andrew he lll know..I think they used to drop it on the radio a lot.so may be it s a ? on the playlists.Ot looks like Daz s hand writing

Ok, I have managed to obtain an MP3 sound sample (the wonders of modern technology!), if you send an email to coxy@flf4s.com I will send the MP3 in return! It's about a minute long and just under 1mb.

I do remember when I bought this collection of records some time ago, that the lad I had it off, said to me, "There's a rare 808 State record in there mate somewhere, I was offered £80 for it a few years ago", which to me sounded like a bit of a wifes tale!! But this maybe the one he was on about!

Will be uploading it tonight.
Have asked Andy to take a look at this topic.

[Coxy]

Have you listened to the MP3 I sent?

The writing on the label does look similar to the couple of white labels I've got (e.g. Newbuild):



Intrigued to know what this is!

The tune is here.

Hello y’all
The story behind the neukleotide record
We used to play some demo tapes on the 808 sunset radio show happy days)
neukleotide got played 4 or 5 times ….over 4 or 5 weeks not to sure it’s been a long time
So daz put his hand in and paid for the track to be press up
I think it was 500 copy’s probable most of them still under his bed

Cheers

Cheers!

BTW, the artist *isn't* 808 State, so you might want to change the description of your eBay item!

[Coxy]

So who is the artist then!!!

[nickking]

Neukleotide

[Coxy]

Confused!!!

808 State recorded this under the name "Nukleotide" and the tracks I presume are called Sector II and Hybrid????

[nickking]

Nope, it's a seperate band entirely - just a song that Andy & Daz (from 808 State) played on their radio shows. Daz just assisted (with the cash) to press up the records.

Whether there were any additional production/remastering work from Daz/Andy, I'm not sure, but the song itself has nothing to do with 808 (according to Andy's mail above)!
