This is the original white label copy of the track "Standing Here" featuring the Original Mix on one side, and Jimpy's mix on the flip. I can vouch for the fact that both Mani and Ian Brown have a copy of this record, although I don't know if they have ever played it! Still some copies with original DJ reaction sheet.

The original mix of this track was produced after I'd read The KLF's infamous book, The Manual: How to Have a Number One The Eady Way.
One of the first pieces of advice was to simply go into a studio and ask a producer/engineer to make the track for you.
I went into the (now closed) Warwick Hall of Sound in Cardiff where, at the time, Rohan Tarry worked. He is actually quite well renowned for producing the smash hit, 2 People by Jean Jaques Smoothie (he probably gets tired of people forever referencing this!).
I basically had the idea of getting a tune made featuring some of the words to the Stone Roses' classic b-side Standing Here. A local singer, Rachel Marie Kimber provided the vocal. We even intentionally made it the same length as the Roses' song.
A white label promo was produced, but sadly, I never managed to get this properly released as I couldn't find a label to release it (this turned out to be much harder than The Manual suggested).
A few years after the original and Jimpy mix were made, someone very kindly produced a new mix, and at this stage, I did get a PR company involved. A CD was now produced and circulated to DJs. The track was in a pre-release chart briefly, but still never had a proper release.
When the track was originally made, it was in the dark old days when The Stone Roses did not exist. When they got back together, I decided to make the track available again as a download.
With vinyl now popular again, I'm wondering there may be renewed interest in the promo white label, especially as Jimpy is getting back into DJing.
