WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
‘Power Cut 1’ (Power Cut Records PC-001)
The hottest bootleg of the moment scratches rare groove break beats around the old funky Vibrettes ‘Humpty Dump’ in an anonymous 107¼-104-106⅔-106⅓-104-103-107⅔-107¼-107⅔bpm megamix flipped by the basic repetitive wukka wukka-ing 111⅓bpm ‘African Beats‘, for Seventies freaks.
‘Powercuts’, the Vibrettes ‘Humpty Dump’-pivoted rare groove megamix presumed to be a bootleg as it was originally on totally anonymous white label, turns out to be produced by Mick Power and Brian ‘Baam’ Mitchell, and credited as being by Power Cut Crew on Vinyl Lab Records (VL 0003, distributed by Rough Trade/The Cartel)
