referencing There But For The Grace Of God (Remixes), 12", JBO 18 R

This in my opinion is the Finest release on Junior Boys Own...first up to the plate is X Press 2 with their interpretation ...and has a Chicago/NY feel to it...which builds up and breaks down to the 3 parts refered to in the mix's title...a bit of the melody bears more than a passing resemblence to Gypsymen's -Hear the Music....then comes the Roach Motel Dub...definately the Finest release on this Legendary label...starts off with a dirty 4/4 beat...add a throbbing Bassline....nice washes......the obligatory Horn Stab.."think Xpress 2 London Express".....and the vocal hook "Come on",which grabs you by the scruff of the neck and hauls you onto the Dancefloor demanding that you throw your body down to the monster of a track.....10 out of 10..i'll give it 11
