Rush Hour's ongoing, tireless endeavours to reissue and document house music's history, be it the classic and overlooked variety, has rightfully been applauded. Original pressing hoarders might scoff but a label with the knowledge of Rush Hour offering new generations the chance to discover what came before represents a valuable lesson in music history. Here they turn to the seminal On & On from Jesse Saunders. Originally released back in 1984, Saunders co-produced it with Chicago House figurehead Vince Lawrence and fact finders will tell you it's the first house record ever to be committed to vinyl. Echoing previous Rush Hour reissues, this new edition of On & On replicates the original down to a tee and it's hard not to succumb to the primitive "Space Invaders" sampling joys of the title track.
Side A is a faded out edit that does not run to the full duration of 7:57 as per the black label or white label 1984 original.
Actual duration of the edited "On And On" is 7:49 (ish).
Side A plays at 45RPM, Side B plays at 33RPM
