WHAT THE D.J. NEWS INSERT HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE MEGAMIX ON THIS RELEASE:
Double Dee & Steinski, who's "Play That Beat, Mr. DJ" remix has been burning up the airwaves and turntables, are back with "Lesson Two (The James Brown Mix.)" Clips from "Sex Machine", "Popcorn", "Get Up Offa That Thing", "I Got Ants In My Pants" and "Get On The Good Foot" make this a tribute to the dance energy of James Brown, with cameo appearances along the way with that special Double Dee & Steinski touch by Malcolm McLaren, Junior, Afrikaa Bambaataa & The Soulsonic Force, Sly and The Family Stone, G.L.O.B.E. and Whiz Kid, and Frankie Smith.
