In late 1991, the record company commissioned three remixes for the white label 12” of Pressure (XPR 1724). The band had already completed the Strung Out Mix, and the Back Room Mix was finalized on 17 December 1991. However, a few hours before the 18 December deadline, the band still needed one more mix. By 2 am on 18 December 1991, progress began to accelerate, and the final remix was arranged and mixed right before the dispatch rider collected the entire remix package. The band worked on the third remix through the night, unable to leave the studio until the final remix was completed. So they humorously referred to themselves as “prisoners”—hence the mix name.
The Tekno Prisoners Mix was never released commercially. It remains unique to XPR 1724 white label 12”. The reworked Extended Version of Release Me replaced this mix on all subsequent releases. However, the edit of Release Me (7″ and Tape formats) was based on this remix.
