The first release was recorded in Berlin by Pacou and HendriX, and cut by Ron Murphy in Detroit during our trip there summer of 97:
A Side holds 2 tracks playing inside out. B Side holds 3 tracks playing inside out.
about 350 copies were manufactured, 50 sold in Detroit at Submerge, 300 at Hardwax recordshop Berlin.
Vinyl groove reads: (H+P) The X-Men Berlin "Cats, Cars And Colt 45"
2. The second release: "Source unknown" 1998
A Side holds 2 tracks and a locked groove loop inbetween, produced by Sender Berlin.
B Side holds: locked groove-intro-2 tracks by Pacou
Vinyl groove reads: The X-Men Berlin #1 (="are number one", this isn't the cat-number) "Source Unknown"
The first edition was on white vinyl and marked with a silver stamp.
3. The third release "Full Red" 1998
After the sucsess we planned a special for our trip to Japan Summer 1998, a 10" picture disk.
A Side holds 1 track by Sender Berlin
B Side holds 2 tracks by Pacou
about 270 copies were made. 50 sold at Hardwax recordshop Berlin, 200 sold at Technique recordshop Tokyo. The remaining are our private copies.
Vinyl reads "X-Men #02" because we had to give the pressing plant a catalog number ;) Actually this is the third release, because the first one was pressed up in Detroit.
The picture is a "3D" image of Mars (hence the stereo image glasses in the package). Writing:"This item is number 3 of 3 in a series of spaced out music releases" (sic)
4. The re-release 1999 "X-Men 97-98"
Because of continued market demand we decided to re-release the rarest tracks on another single.
The single had black labels, no markings and holds these tracks:
A-Side 1. Pacou track B1 of "Full Red EP", 2. Sender Berlin track of "Full Red EP"
B-Side 1. one Pacou track of "Cats Cars and Colt 45", 2. one HendriX track of "Cats Cars and Colt 45"
