Vinyl Blair
The Blair Necessities Remixes (Part One)

Listening notes

Released in 1996 on Hard Hands, The Blair Necessities Remixes (Part One) is a two-track twelve-inch from Vinyl Blair, catalogued as HAND 030 T. The release sits within the genres of breaks, electronic, and techno, placing it among the various strands of mid-nineties UK dance music that Hard Hands was releasing during that period.

The record carries two tracks across its two sides. The A-side, labelled "Other Side" on the release, presents "Mazzoslamma (Dave Angel Mix)" at five minutes and fifty-four seconds. The B-side, labelled "This Side," offers "Space Dub 1996 (Vinyl Blair Mix)" at seven minutes and fifteen seconds. The title designation of Part One suggests the release was conceived as part of a series, though what further instalments may have followed is not addressed by the information available here.

The parenthetical credits on each track are worth noting. The A-side names Dave Angel as the mixer of "Mazzoslamma," while the B-side credits Vinyl Blair directly for the mix of "Space Dub 1996." This means the record presents at least two distinct credited perspectives on its material within a short programme.

Hard Hands was the label home for Leftfield during this era, and HAND 030 T slots into their catalogue numbering accordingly. The "T" suffix in the catalog number is consistent with twelve-inch single formatting conventions of the period.
