Packet Of Peace Remixes part 1
Following the re-issue of Sasha's 'Xpander', and with the emphasis on the cream of the label's diverse back catalogue, the second release is Lionrock's 'Packet Of Peace'. As seminal early nineties records go, this one exploded the myth that dance, ragga and rock were incompatible bedfellows. The work of acid house bon viveur, Justin Robertson, alongside Roger Lyons and MC Buzz B, 'Packet Of Peace' crashed the Top 40, and led to one of Lionrock's two memorable raids on Top Of The Pops' HQ. Remixes came courtesy of two young upstarts called Tom and Ed aka the Chemical Brothers ('Packet…' was the duo's first remix), and Jeff Mills.
The Chemical Brothers' remix is released in part 1 alongside 21st century re-rubs from Deadstock 33's, Spektre, and Hannah Holland, with Jeff Mills, Riva Starr, and Freeform Five forming part 2.
