Geeselad Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I have this on a dodgy bootleg 12 from around 1990, the other tacks, bassheads ect, date it from around this time and it was indeed big at the Hacienda and other proto rave clubs at this time. Ive seen it on a more official and more recent boot too, but what's the ovo of this, I assume its an LP track but Ive been informed the LP cut's not the same as the boot mix can anyone help?
Sjclement Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 If my memory is correct its from an Elektra album (can't think of the title) the track is pitched somewhere between Lamont Doziers original and Oddessey's chart hit more a rare groove classic than anything else, the 12's are 'house' remmixes are they not.
Sjclement Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 There you go The album is called Connections and seems to be worth a few quid!!!!

No I'm not talking bout any house mixes matey, the original boots, now there's a contrtradiction in terms, are very close to this LP version but not the same, I'd say slightly more dancefloor freindly, its hard to put your finger on. But thanks I'd stick with my booty version over this one anyday, can anyone say who did, or where the boot mixes came from they dont sound like re- edits there's slightly different instuments in there? thanks for the help on this so far my freind

Guest MrC Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 can anybody clear this up for me? I can ask a man who should know.... but the Lamont Dozier original is far and away the best version IMO!
Guest MrC Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 It seems there were a few white label boots and remixes around, generally the Ralph Rosario mixes but there were some Richie Havens - Groove Armada boots, and a Sasha one too. Thanks to my mate old skool & ex Cream DJ John Kelly for that info. You could always post a clip on oldskoolanthemz - someone on there would definately be able to id it, or theravearchive.com
Guest Ollie Lailey Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) I've got this on an Elektra 12" Promo with Richie Havens - Going Back To My Roots (album Version) on one side and "Club Mix Re-Edit By Mr K" on the other side. Edited November 9, 2011 by Ollie Lailey

That was one of the official releases Oli, not one of the boots that were flying around.

Pretty sure Mr K is Danny Krivit who has done many a classy re-edit over the years. Derek
Guest MrC Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Pretty sure Mr K is Danny Krivit who has done many a classy re-edit over the years. Derek quite right, and there's a compilation of remixes/edits by Danny Krivit called "Edits By Mr. K" - but we're getting off topic I guess!
Geeselad Posted November 9, 2011 Author Posted November 9, 2011 I strongly suspect mines the mr K edit too, and for me superior to the LP mix, Danny Krivtit is the don, it just doesnt sound like an edit! Thanks guys. I have the Lamont version too which is great, esp that african chanty thing it goes into at the end. I used to be a regular on oldskoolanthemz and was considering contacting them on this, Not on label releases can be tricky to track down on discogs. thanks one and all.
