Any news on this? It's catalogued on Discogs now but can't find it for sale.

It was out few days ago.
Be patient
Should be in shops shortly...

[swervert]

I really don`t see the problem
as an artist you want your music to be available to as many people as possible who would want it.
Screw the collectors.

agreed tbh, music should be for everyone, not just the few who were lucky enough to buy rare records when they came out and those prepared to pay big bucks!

changed my mind about this wouldnt mind the new vinyl. most of the sound quality in older vinyl detriorates so much.

Ordered mine from Kinetec a few mins ago :)

Next Routemaster to repress:

Routemaster HS02:
-Route14 : "Two Lines Of K..."
-Route21 : "My 909 Got a Picture..."

Routemaster HS03 :
-Route02 "Quasar"
-Route26 "Mobile Telephone"

I am the punctuator!

i think some of the customers they will be french guys who used to play the routemaster records like the tribe records, they played most of them on the wrong speed, not just normal 33rpm but on 45rpm
and THIS thing for me was always nothing more than just profanation
acid techno profanation, the music i love, my anthems.

and this thing getting me mad a bit

My copy just turned up yesterday - you don't gotta worry about that, both tunes play at 45rpm.

Thats a good news :)

So ... anyone know where the hell this is being sold?

Site says it's out now, but there's no sign of it at any online store I usually use (ie Juno/chemical/bangingtunes).

Found a couple of French records stores, but every one is sold out allready.

:sad panda:

Got my copy last Thursday. I was lucky enough to be in kinetec the day they arrived :D

Unfortunately i have no decks to play it on though :(

ouch

[Technologic]

ouch

Innit.

I've heard it countless times though on Advanced technique which i still thrash these days, but it'd still be nice to have a mix with it.

Gotta a couple of gigs lined up but they're the graveyard shift so i don't think the timing will be right, i will get my chance to bust it out for some dancefloor destruction one day though i'm sure.

Mobile Telephone.....nothing short of iconic.....can't wait for that one

I think its a bit crap to be honest. Each to their own I suppose.

Red Herring, on the reverse, is miles better.

Thats why repressing only one side is sometimes fair

I used to buy Routemaster routinely, even though at the time I may not have liked some of the harder sounding releases - funky/bubbling basslines were my thing (and still are). That trickled out and eventually stopped in 1999 when I had to give up spinning/clubbing to look after my dear Mum. I think they may have released Red Herring around the same time, because I can recall listening to Hackney Council (ROUTE 28) in my local record shop and NOT buying it would you believe, but not Red Herring. Also I missed out on Element, Colonel Mustard, Acid Junkies, the 30.3 EP and so on, to my great loss.
Mobile Telephone though, crops up time and time again in various mixes (most notably The Germ's Acid Techno 11-08-05 mix, which is a cracker), and I for one am glad it is available to buy at sensible prices once more. Not only that, you get Kektex's Quasar from ROUTE 02 on the same release; a total bargain!
One other thing to add, is the quality of the pressing, which is excellent. I'm looking forward to future releases with great anticipation. If it saves me shelling out a heck of a lot of cash for what usually is a fairly worn-out copy, then that for me, is a Good Thing.
