Bradley's Beat is an EP by Richard D. James,under the alias Bradley Strider,released by Rephlex Records in 1995. [1] [2]
The record has a 1991 copyright date,but there is no reference to it on any Rephlex promotional copy until its 1995 press release. [1] [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",referring to its mix of dance techno and world music. [7]
