WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
THE MAFIA ‘Talkin” (BBH Records BBH 5)
Waterlooville’s bedroom mixers have been at it again, creating a white labelled excellent 113⅕-113⅖-114-119¼bpm megamix out of such as the Jungle Brothers ‘Black Is Black’, Stetsasonic ‘Talkin’ All That Jazz’, Robert Howard & Kym Mazelle ‘Wait’, De La Soul ‘Jenifa (Taught Me)’, Manu Dibango ‘Soul Makossa’, Marva Whitney ‘Unwind Yourself’, Coldcut ‘People Hold On’ and Ten City ‘Right Back To You’ (this last superfluous fragment rather abruptly tagged on to the consequently untidy end, a pity), flipped by a 114-114⅕-114bpm ‘Dub Talkin’’ variation.
