Does anyone know exactly which tracks from SAW85-92 were recorded when?

I would really like to know which tracks (if any) he recorded when he was in his teens.

i would be very interested to know this too. richard d. james is notoriously full of shit though, so if he *has* bragged about recording some of these tracks aged 14 or whatever somewhere, i would take that claim with a pinch of salt...

I do recall reading that Xtal was one of the earlier tracks.

But I could be wrong, don't hold me to that.

Aren't the tracks chronological? At least the first ones sound like they were recorded on very simple equipment.

I absolutely think he's 100% full of shit regarding the recording dates of those songs. Even stylistically I can't imagine he could claim to write all those songs, to say that in 1985, in some town in England, a barely pubescent teenager invented Chicago House and Detroit Techno. I haven't heard the entire cd in ages and only have a few tracks on my computer, but there's no way any of them are from before 1988/89, and even that, is being kind.

I haven't listened to it for a while but which tracks are Chicago House?

of the tracks I have on my computer, Actium and Pulsewidth both draw directly from the Chicago House/Detroit Techno by way of 808 State/UK house/techno lineages. Of course when I say Chicago House, I mean less of the "move your body" and more of the "no way back" style. Just listen to Warp Influences. Pulswidth sounds like an outtake of the Techno 1+2 comps which helped introduce those sounds to the UK.
