get lifted

I've posted a track off 'OST/Original Block Party Edits' before; it's a pretty good compilation with a good few bombs on it. I can't really say what my issue with it is though; with names like DJ Harvey, Black Science Orchestra, Fug, and Tim 'Love' Lee doing the edits I half expected my CD player to explode, I tell ya it did not. Sadly not available on Vinyl, unless you collected all the originals from Original Soundtrack Recordings (the label, right, from whence these edits originate), this compilation is worth finding, though not for playing from start to end.

As far as I can tell this George McCrae re-edit from Mischief Brew (who they?) actually never came out on vinyl anyway (nooooo!!). It's a damn fine slow and sexy Disco Funk groove that's been playfully extended (it reminds me of an R.E. edit) to snake charm your hips into booty shakin' , just don't do it front of yer mum.

the album 'OST Block Party Edits' was issued on 2xLP in a gate fold sleeve through EMI a couple of years ago

the pressing wasn't the greatest, still playable and if i'm not mistaken is probably still in circulation. i sourced a brand new copy for a customer order [i work in a record store] via UK distribution about a year ago ...

Hi mate,

if memory serves correct that The George McCrae edit was by Martin Brew, the old manager of Fat City record in manchester, and one half of J-Walk
