Looking for a month - I know it was earlier 1990, I can't find out on the internet, wondering if anyone here knew?
Have an old Spinmasters tape and it's the week Cubik was released - so trying to put a date on it...
Cheers if anyone can help

The earliest I can find out is on the "The Extended Pleasure Of Dance" EP, which was released in February 1990. Does it mention that EP? Could have been a promo though, which would account that it was earlier than 1990.

Cubik was released on 29 October 1990.

I'll go with the Feb 1990 date, it can't be Oct 1990, I have it on Sasha and Sven Vath mixes from May 90 to name a couple.

Yeah, Cubik was originally released on the "Extended Pleasures Of Dance EP" in February 1990:

808 State: The Extended Pleasure Of Dance
[Feb. 1990] EP single (ZS2)

12": 1990 UK (ZTT / WEA; ZANG 2 T / 9031-71212-0)
4:49 Cobra Bora (call the cops mix)
5:37 Ancodia (taters deep nit funky beat mix)
3:32 Cubik

It was then released in it's own right as a single on October 1990:

CD5: 1990 UK (ZTT / WEA; ZANG 5 CD / 9031-72873-2)
3:32 Cubik (original mix)
4:56 Cubik (pan am mix)
4:07 Olympic (flutey mix)
5:44 Olympic (euro bass mix)

As Markus said, obviously promos of the Extended Pleasures EP may have been released prior to February 1990, which might have made it 1989.
