My first release was in 96 sound was dreadfull, most produtions were at the time anyways. U gotta remember that the technical quality of prodution as gonne up a lot.
Still when u look back U can hear all the obvious mistakes (efxs, compression, mono sounding) but at the same time it sounds raw/ fresh/ naif/ in your face... In has such untamed raw grooves that it really plays with ya!!
my 2 cents,

PS_ When U got something good, that as some personality, and u have real friends that can tell you straight with no BS if the track's good or not , ... then go for it... I've never met an artist 100% happy with what he did!
