WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
THE SCAM ‘Bootleg Mixes’ (RR 1)
Totally uncredited on blank white label, although I’m told it’s generally known as ‘The Scam’, this 100bpm transformer scratch mix drifts through the usual rare grooves and JB beats with more efficiency than excitement, flipped perhaps more usefully by a straight scratched 102⅔bpm jam and a much meatier quite old fashioned traditional 105bpm mix-up
SIDE A MIX: BOOGIE BACK
MIXED BY: Richie Rich
LENGTH: 06:03
GENRE: Funk/Soul/Hip Hop
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:
