WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
CAMEO ‘She’s Mine’ (Club JABX 57)
Rather sombre lurching 95½bpm return to their once typical ‘She’s Strange’ style (or rather its rapping ‘Room 123’ version), with acid guitar and rasping sax, Les Adams’s new ‘Cameo Megamix’ being due as flip to a creatively marketed later pressing, this one’s flip having the old funkily jolting 108bpm ‘Flirt’ and jaggedly flying 132-0bpm ‘The Sound Table’.
CAMEO ‘The Cameo Megamix Two’ (Club JABXR 57)
As previously warned (which may be why the now B-side relegated ‘She’s Mine’ has sold so badly), here’s the latest brilliant 0-110-111¼-109-111-110⅔-112-114½-116bpm megamix of Cameo’s hits created by LA Mix’s Les Adams, his second (and another award winner?).
SIDE A MIX: THE CAMEO MEGAMIX TWO

TRACKS I CAN IDENTIFY IN THE MIX - I have only listed the ones that have prolonged elements or have a short sample repeated multiple times:
