Bradley's Beat is an EP by Richard D. James, under the alias Bradley Strider, released by Rephlex Records in 1995.[1]
The record has a 1991 copyright date, but there is no reference to it on any Rephlex promotional copy until its 1995 press release.[2] [3] [4] The Rephlex label often put out misinformation about their release catalogue, which may explain this.[5] Three pressings of the single are known to exist. Although all three have the same A-side track, the B-sides vary on the first two pressings and the third pressing has a grooveless B-side.[6]
In 2014, Andy Beta of Pitchfork listed Bradley's Beat as one of James's "10 Essential Releases", focusing on its mix of dance techno and world music.[7]
On the below pressing, side A plays at 45 rpm and side B plays at 33 ⅓ rpm.
On the below pressing, both sides play at 45 rpm.
