WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
A CLASSIC PRODUCTION ‘Feelin’ James’ (US TD Records Inc TD 802)
When spotted in New York’s Music Factory record shop there was no knowing this wasn’t as old as the other “interesting” items on display, a Steinski-type 109-110½-102⅔-104⅓-105⅔-105⅓-105⅔-106bpm megamix mainly of James Brown riffs (‘Sex Machine’ included) with other break beats thrown in too, and as flip three different useful breaks for mixers.
