FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. This is a US reissue from the "Transmat Classics" series, cat. no. MS-5. The first issue came out on Transmat in 1988; the exact year of this reissue is not confirmed.

What does the condition mean?
The vinyl is graded NM- (Near Mint minus) and shows hardly any signs of use. "Generic" means the record comes in a plain sleeve without its own artwork, so there is no sleeve grade. More on our Vinyl Grading page.

Who is Mayday?
Mayday is an alias of Derrick May, founder of Transmat and one of the pioneers of Detroit techno. He did the Mayday Mix and Late Night Release.
