WTF?
they must mean "first LP of original exclusive productions"
because by my count they've released
noid long playerlife: the shoeing you deservepuddle & spoutgrublekey to the tripoddesire lines
and
more or less / the u-star daze
which admittedly is an early "greatest hits" comp and mix

“What we’ve tried to do is make an LP, four tracks a side on vinyl. You stick it on your stereo, have a cup of coffee and read the paper. When it’s finished you stick the other side on. So we’ve made an LP in the traditional way.”

wasn't too impressed with "One For Kenny" til that piano break came in, then it was pretty great. very much looking forward to drinking coffee and reading the paper to this.

meanderthals was my soundtrack for that on a lot of sunny weekend mornings last year

my favorites is actually "life: the shoeing you deserve"
"more or less" is a 2cd comp w/ a mixed 2nd disc, that mixed 2nd disc was re-released in the US as "the u-star daze"
i would go with any of those, and then move on to puddle & spout, gruble, etc etc which tbf are basically i guess just elaborate re-edit comps

Since those early albums seem impossible to find at a reasonable price, I've got stuck into Press Play and Night Dubbin. Really enjoying the track selection on Press Play, but I feel like as a mix it kinda crashes with the cover of Word Up and doesn't really get itself back on track, like the section from there to the end should have been at the start to warm up instead. Night Dubbin is great though, I love the sense of dark queasiness hanging over it, and both mixes are so impressive with the way they eschew traditional beat-matching yet putting together transitions that seem to flow naturally.

is that a good label? i didn't get into the first smith & mudd album, it had that same-y mush-y vibe that a lot of rong releases seem to have.

dancefloors gone all wobbly
c56 is pretty much my favorite label, but I'm horribly biased.
