Chenko (tenka-io) - Red Box

I don't really buy a lot of 12" singles anymore: most of the extended remixes of my favourite artists have been released on cd - and that has become the preferred format in my household. That, and 7" singles, of course. 12" singles simply take up too much space. But then every once in a while I find a 12" that actually contains a rare remix.

Take for instance this 12" of 'Chenko (Tenka-io)'. Released in 1987, it was a re-release of an early single with a new remix on the 12". Amazingly, none of the 12" mixes of Red Box have ever been released on cd, and as you can hear on this one, there have been some great ones. This disc presents both a new remix of 'Chenko' and the extended version of the previous single 'Heart of the sun'. Both are pretty wonderful and would certainly warrant a cd release. Until then, I'll have to keep this in my collection.

Red Box actually released a new cd last year, which is certainly worth checking out. 

My collection: 12" single [unnumbered]
Found: Chelsea Records, Antwerpen, January 24, 2020
Cost: 3 euro
Tracks: 'Chenko (tenka-io) (No Reservations mix)' / 'Speeches', 'Heart of the sun (Slash and burn)'

    Thank you for a fantastic 12 inch but just to let you know that Heart Of The Sun goes to Speeches track.

    This way my buddy Wesley Virgin's tale starts with this SHOCKING and controversial video.

    You see, Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he found hidden, "mind control" secrets that the government and others used to get whatever they want.

    As it turns out, these are the exact same secrets tons of celebrities (especially those who "became famous out of nowhere") and top business people used to become wealthy and famous.

    You probably know how you utilize only 10% of your brain.

    Mostly, that's because the majority of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Perhaps this thought has even taken place IN YOUR own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head seven years back, while riding an unregistered, beat-up garbage bucket of a car without a license and $3 on his banking card.

    "I'm so frustrated with going through life paycheck to paycheck! When will I become successful?"

    You've been a part of those those questions, right?

    Your very own success story is waiting to be written. You just need to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
