The cheaper cd single has a DR of 12 so no real need for vinyl for this, unless you're a vinyl DJ I guess. -

Is Leftfield Open Up the greatest dance track of all time? It is for me. -
referencing Open Up (12", 33 ⅓ RPM, Single) HAND 009T
Fantastic track, it just throws caution to the wind, which is what you would expect from John Lydon / Johnny Rotten. Driving beats, acid undertone, aggressive sounding synth that build and have at times a middle eastern feel & chant in parts, there's even a bit with what sounds like a Gazoo, post the main breakdown there's a lovely little acid loop that drops in too. As you would expect from Leftfield track just builds and drops perfectly with all the elements interwoven to perfection. Big track in every sense & still sounds amazing. -
Would love to buy it! Excellent! Four more. Two more. -

Very unique sound for both of the tracks. Very progressive for the time with a bit of Goa Trance vibe mixed in. Excellent tracks, -

Slight bronzing on mine, the first two tracks are fine but the last one has succumbed to PDO rot (It supposedly ripped fine but it took like an hour to EAC it) -
Edited 7 years agoMine is marked LFT.001 A1 and B1 in the run-off groove. On the white label it reads: Leftfield - Open Up - Zoo DJ's House. The other side reads: Leftfield - Open Up - Zoo DJ's Break. The white cover reads: Leftfield - Open Up - Zoo DJ's Mix's - PROMO. Everything is written by hand. There is no singing by Johnny Lydon unfortunately. -

It really is one of the greatest records ever made... -

My version has a sticker over the barcode on the back with DEPT 076 and a new barcode number 5010072278783 -

The Dervish Overdrive mix is one of those rare dance records that actually benefits from a shorter edit. The full cut is just a little too long to keep up the momentum, where as this rarer 7 minute edit packs much more of a punch. As much as I enjoy the dub outro, I wish they'd relegated it to a separate dub mix, because I can't think of any occasion when a DJ would want to go from such a banging record to a languid downtempo groove so quickly. This track is so much fun to dance to and gets a reaction from any knowledgeable crowd, so it's one to take your set up a gear, not down.
