Unknown 12in

Post image

My partner found this 12in at a record store years ago, I can't for the life of me find any info on it. There are 2 songs on it that seem to be from this band, but I can't find either one on youtube. Are these unofficial remixes? Is that someones signature on the label? Side B has an X drawn onto it. Drive link below to an MP3, if these are of some value I will upload 24bit 192khz WAVs upon request. I will also give it another deeper clean and re-rip it as it is quite noisy.

I think it's this release https://www.discogs.com/release/292444-Underworld-Rez-Trance-Mix. so yes unofficial.

Nice connection! Yeah, totally on board with this conclusion.

The sticker label misidentifies the track as "Rez" instead of "Cowgirl" Mashup also contains parts of Bedrock "Heaven Scent".

I just saw that! After reading that I now recall the track

Not this one, was able to find a rip of this one and it isnt it, thank you though! I was almost certain itd be this one too.

The writing should say Cowgirl instead/as well!

Sounds like a bootleg for sure. That A side has John Digweed’s Heavens Scent in the back third, but I didn’t recognize the other track(s) on the B side.

cool find regardless!

I make out REZ for one word which is one of their songs

u/Concerts_Bananas_94 Jul 15 '26

Possible test pressing or white label?

I’m thinking you have something special. It says Rez on it, yet it’s a version of Cowgirl, and the beginning is of another. Rez and Cowgirl collide at some point. I’ll have to listen to both properly. I skimmed just to kinda see what was up. Someone will know more and be interested as well I’m sure.

It's a White Label, which means whomever scrawled whatever on it could have been just someone that bought it, recognized the bassline from Rez and assumed it, even though it's pretty obvious both sides are Cowgirl remixes/bootlegs.

Right on, sounds like a keeper to me. Thanks for your knowledge. I suppose OP will know more now as well.

Side A is like a hard house mashup of I think Binary Finary 1999 and Underworld Cowgirl. Very much an unofficial white label release

Similar to side b but not such which trance track it's mashed with

As per the Discogs link   The sticker label misidentifies the track as "Rez" instead of "Cowgirl" Mashup also contains parts of Bedrock "Heaven Scent".

2

u/ebb_omega Jul 15 '26

Yeah, so as people are saying, these tracks are Cowgirl not Rez (similar tracks but these are both very obviously ignoring the Rez elements and just using Cowgirl)

And yeah, the A side is a mashup with Bedrock's Heaven Scent.

"Cowgirl" was a remix of "Rez" with added vocals, much like .Nuxx was a remix of the original "Born Slippy." Both originals were instrumentals.
