Ralph Lawson To Release ‘Basic Vision 002’

The second instalment in 'Back To Basics - Rare Classics' series will be released on February 26th.

Ralph Lawson‘s Back To Basics label is set to drop the second instalment in a four-part series of limited edition 12” vinyl EPs.


Out on February 26th, ‘Basic Vision 002’ features some gems like the legendary Mood II Swing Border Insanity dub of “Flame” by Crustation. Championed by many DJs including Raresh and Apollonia, this stripped down cut was only available on the b-side of the original release at a low pressing level. As a press release said, the track “has never been licensed for vinyl, as the original master was lost for nearly 20 years. Lawson was determined to get this track onto the compilation as it is a bona fide Back To Basics bomb so he managed to trace down the master to a dusty DAT tape in a basement in New York and lovingly re-mastered from tape with a single cut on one side to ensure a really loud pressing for DJ use.

The EP also includes two other timeless classic; 51 Days‘ “Paper Moon” and Terence FM‘s “Feelin’ Kinda High“.

The full series will then be compiled into a 14-track album entitled ‘Back To Basics – Rare Classics’, due out on April 23rd. All four vinyl and the 14-track album both showcase an original artwork from the godfather of punk, Jamie Reid.

The series focuses on highly collectable classic records from the club’s long history that paints a true picture of the music played on the dancefloor. The aim has been to create an album that anyone can enjoy listening to but is a valuable series for the aficionados.” Ralph Lawson.

The first vinyl part, ‘Back To Basics 001‘, was released last December. It features club classics by Lil Louis & The WorldMike Perras and M-I-Cara.
