The reason everyone thinks 'Acid Tracks' is the first acid track ever is 'cos it was played first (a good 2 years before it's release in '87)
The version of Acid Tracks that was being played by Ron Hardy 2 years before was faster and a lot rawer than the released version (Which is a Marshall Jefferson remix)
The original version was given a brief airing on a British C4 TV documentary 'Pump Up The Volume; The History Of House'

Everyone has a background. If you had experienced the early days of House and Acid House music, you certainly will remember where did Green Velvet on "I Want To Leave My Body" get inspired. It's easy to realize the darker shape of (Acid) House on 'Bam Bam - Where Is Your Child' by Chris Westbrook on Westbrook Records (1988), as well as on "I've Lost Control" by Sleezy D. & Virgo two years before, whose dark vocals and atmospheres became a reference.

"I was there in the studio for the recordings of Sleezy D.'s - "I've Lost Control", claims Adonis, reminding his early times as a producer. "Marshall was working on a track called "I've Lost Control". He had the hook, and the drums, and then he let me listen to it, and I said it wouldn't make me loose control - this is when I told him there was a need to put something new on there, something no one had ever heard - something that would make me loose control, and others too." Adonis suggested almost instantly: "Let's put the TB-303 in there!" Then the version came out as a real thunder!

After hearing few more questions, Adonis concluded as his personal feedback: "Check out the "I've Lost Control" Space Mix on side A; that was my idea to put the TB 303 on there". Indeed the acid basslines of the Space Side made by Adonis gave "I've Lost Control" a very intense, hypnotic atmosphere. Added to the fine drum lines by Marshall Jefferson and the dark, distorted vocals by Sleezy D., it had a massive impact on the dancefloors.

About the curse of the uprising Acid House scene, Adonis said: "I was the one the introduced Marshall Jefferson to the TB303. By the time he met Spanky and DJ Pierre, he had already knew the Acid sound becuase I'm the one who taught him all about". On that matter, Marshall Jefferson replied: "Yes, Adonis introduced me to the TB 303 (the bassline simulator responsible for the acid sound). I had no idea how to program it though", that's why "I've Lost Control"'s basslines were made by Adonis. The Marshall Jefferson's opposite House side did not have the acid bassline sounds.

Grading

MINT - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

NEAR MINT - The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is no deterioration in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

EXCELLENT - The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR - The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR - The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
