    Frankie Knuckles and Tears on a promo release, this used to be my most desirable record for years with offers in excess of £100 and swaps I realy should have taken. The release itself has very high production levels and feels like one of the first house records with real money having been spent. For this reason you could also argue it is one of the first death nails for underground house.

    There are 2 weights of pressing for the promo as I have 2, one being a typical FFRR thin pressing however the other is a high quality weighty slab of vinyl. At the prices now being acheived this is a must for any collection.
