A historic record in the micro-history of cut and paste, and hip-hop sampling. This was Danny Krivit's first edit 12", released by the bootleg label TD in the early 80s and reissued here on the original label. The actual track "Feelin James(1)" is a cut and paste of several JB breaks mixed with some stragglers. The flip side also has major significance in sampling history. Mr. K expertly re-edits 3 well known breaks(2,3,4) with production finesse way beyond the time period. Eric B most likely jacked the first one for "I Know You Got Soul" while the other 2 have become staples of the hip-hop/b-boy consciousness. These 3 breaks truly make this record sound relevant today, an amazing feat that makes this record more than just a dusty time piece.
