[Notes: A very low quality quick release.
The vinyl has not been finished properly, leaving its edge sharp and
with fibres hanging on the sides.
The sound has been recorded too loud on both sides making it clip.
Getting In is still playing while the needle already goes through the
run-off grooves. Timing is made as is.
THIS SIDE is labeled Going Out. Engraved in the run-off grooves is
CHEK 029, but A1 has been scratched out and replaced by B1.
THAT SIDE is labeled Getting In. Engraved in the run-off grooves is
CHEK 029, but B1 has been scratched out and replaced by A1.]
Promo note:
From the crittically acclaimed album "The Weekend", comes
this new single from Skinny. "Going Out" takes it's place in the disco
revival with a beat to swing your flares to. The band are currently
touring with label-mates Faithless.
