This is the inaugural edition of a hopefully continuing feature, our Vinylmore Rips series which brings you random vinyl-exclusive releases as MP3s.

Set to be an irregular column, it will only appear when something on vinyl-only release has truly piqued my interest.

This week we get some elegant New Order mixes from electronic legends 808 State (Wiki).

Today’s release:
New Order – Acid House Mixes by 808 State (1988)
UK 2004 12″ Single; Rephlex: CAT 806 EP [Also as limited white-label promo 12" Single]
