Does anyone know the difference between the pressing with matrix numbers: DB 102 a/b (first issue) and DB 102 aa/bb? release dates? different versions of songs? much appreciate any help?

DB 102 aa/bb is re mix version.

do you have db 102 aa/bb? how does it sound? worth picking up?

They probably made a differently mixed album for the American market, just like they did with 'Zodiac Sounds'

zodiac sounds- the winro for america? studio one for jamaica?

... they're exactly the same; i bought the a/b issue brandnew at Boudisque in A'dam when it came out, traded it later for some Upsetter 12"s, felt sorry for myself and got aa/bb instead and couldn't discover any difference in the mixes, both bearing that wonderfull stereo sound ...
btw Im Flash Forward @ DB 115 has been rereleased in the 90's with the DB mix, so if you're into that unique mixing way, ask sellers what matrix ...

Oke Chungdejah thanks for the info never hear the "orginal mix!"

"Im Flash Forward @ DB 115 has been rereleased in the 90's"
Is that the split Stereo mix??
Because i have sol1134 album and the remix from '89.

btw Boudisque is close down next month.

and especially for Im's Flash Forward it gives it
that breathtaking quality ... GETIT !!!

Thanks for the info Chungejah.
