WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
LONDON BEATS 2 ‘London Beats 2’ (London Beats 2)
Actually the label only says ‘London Beats 2’ once, this being another bootlegged jittery tugging slow 0-100⅙-112-100⅙bpm rare groove megamix using such as Hank Ballard & The Dapps’ ‘How You Gonna Get Respect?’, the Vibrettes ‘Humpty Dump’ and even the Jackson 5’s ‘ABC’ (with very strange and undanceably disjointed 0-103-0-99⅔-0-124½-0-106-85-106-0bpm side two).
