      I am pretty certain this reissue appeared in 2000 :)

        Nice EP this, both tracks were also featured on Street Sounds Electro 6 and that is one hell of a great mix LP.

          Still a classic. Also look out for 'All the way to Heaven', another great 12" single.

            This track has it all: good rapping, cool beatbox (as only Mr Fresh could do), dope vocoder parts, fresh & tuff beats (similar to Art Of Noise 'Beat Box'), top production and if that wasn't enough, a track that's based on the rhythm and melody of Kraftwerk's 'Trans Europe Express. Amazing record!

            This Sound Makers Records 12" is the first pressing. It was also re-released on Bobby Robinson's classic Enjoy imprint.

              A hidden gem, if you listen carefully you will notice that the main riff, vocals & hi-hats are based around Kraftwerk's 'Trans Europe Express', while the beat bares a close resemblance to The Art of Noise's 'Beat Box'. Add to this Doug E Fresh's amazing vocal beats and you have the perfect example of how old school hip hop was drawing inspiration from Electro back in 1984.
