Yeah. Sorry for the confusion. That was originally released on Open as the
flipside to "The Climax" (different from "The Climax (original)" that was
just rereleased on Planet E with the pink sleeve and the BC remix - and
better IMO). So for people with that Open release, I meant "Tweak It
Yourself" only really has collectible value, as "Clear and Present" would be
worth the sticker price. This may have also been on the Dr. Eich album
though??? I never got it b/c I had the 12"s.

I never really put that together, but I can see the analogy. "Rushed" is
definitely a more refined track, with better direction, production and
emotion. I'm certainly not one to slag Planet E, as I think they are the
most reliable record label in the world, with great scope, vision and
history, not to mention being responsible for most of my early techno
eduction. But this felt like a "complete the history" Carl Craig release
rather than the BC remix of Climax, which was a true gem from the archives.
This is the same way I felt about "More Songs About Food" too... Not that
there's anything wrong with that. I'd still rather it was released on such a
pretty slab of wax than not, I'd still rather apprecite his lesser successes
than not and I'm happy to own it as a devotee.
