L.A. Style - James Brown Is Dead

I think this actually went platinum, which is higher than gold! This was even a HUGE hit in the states, which is hard for any dance or techno music to do. I heard that this was turned down by Combined Forces, the Netherlands. It was said to be to hard and dark for the time and they were worried about the commerciality of the track. Shame for them! This paved the way for hardcore as we know it. You should own this record if you are a serious collector or deejay.

Without doubt the single biggest Techno hit in 1991!
'Dominator' may have gone silver, but 'James Brown Is Dead' is a bona-fide gold record.
The first real Techno track to do that. It was years before any other Techno release approached it's number of sales.
A genuine classic.
