Scratch (Version B)
"..its bad enough that you post your boring old records, but when you preface it by talking about your equally boring life thats when I realize that cable internet should be handed out only after a written test or something. Thats my one criticism anyway."
Ouch. Thanks dad.
Indeep had a minor mainstream hit that most of you know, which was .. *google*.. ah.. Last Night A DJ Saved My life.. of course, but the album that track appeared on had a few good tracks. One of them, When Boys Talk, also produced a 12" single, and on the B side of that single were some 'Scratch versions'. In that early mid eighties era scratch versions were seen often alongside dubs, straight ahead beat reprises with small sparse elements of the main tune that you could do your grandmaster flash style primitive wikka wikka scratch routines over.
I'm posting the second of the two scratch version on the B side of this record, it goes into proto techno/house territory when the ambient synth wash comes in..awesome.. anybody want to see more photos of my stereo gear?..no?..ok:

You're a hero. I've been looking on all types of Blogs to find this version of Indeep's jam. Do you have Scratch Version A? Please post that one. My search will then be fulfilled (Happy Happy Joy Joy)
Now if you have The Alezby Inn (Vocal Vacancy) by Egyptian Lover, then you'll be in the ranks with all the X-Men
