Fingers Inc. ‎– Can You Feel It

The voice on B2 is Chuck Roberts of Rhythm Controll, not Chuck D.

One last thing to say about the quality of the Jack Trax vs. the Desire Records releases:

I was in a record shop the other day and found both versions in excellent condition. Instinctively I wanted to take the picture cover version which was also 5 pound cheaper then the Desire Records version.
Having had a listen, I choose the Desire version, because the sound quality was far superior to the Jack Trax release, more punch simply better sounding.

this is the future, computers sleeping, people jumping. SAN ANDREAS.

this track to me is so west coast early deep house. i know house has its roots in Chicago but L.A. can claim some of it too =]

The accapella intro "In the beginning there was Jack, and Jack had a groove,..." was a huge hit in Belgian clubs back in the 90's, especially in house clubs like Montini and Baccardi's. I think in the end every club visitor could repeat it from his head, as we all where brainwashed by it.

This is a great release but I must correct Clarkee, the original vocal from Chuck Roberts was lifted from the much rarer, much better and much more expensive Rhythm Controll, My House on Catch A Beat Records. So far as the Jack Trax release, this has the much better and again rarer (although not quite so rare following various bootlegs) Robert Owens vocal in place of Chuck Roberts. This also includes the simply moving and amazing mlk speech over the fingers inc loop (accapella) which is worth good money on it own.

Well worth picking up. Prices are rising back to historic levels (used to sell £50 for a good one) of about 10 years ago when this was a truely in demand record.

For those of you not lucky enough to get the release on Jack Trax or old enough to know where that "In the Beginning there was Jack and Jack had a groove..." sample came from, then this release is a MUST OWN. Running in a close second to Your love by Frankie Knuckles as one of the most beautifull, soulfull, uplifting and seminal pieces of dance music. Do not bother with soundclips, do not worry about sleeve conditions, just get it where-ever you can, close your eyes, listen and drift off into the feeling of when you first discovered House music. Can we invent a 6 out of 5 rating Please!!!!!!!!!

Great 4-track remix of "Can You Feel It". Side A starts with the Original Instrumental, and also contains the Robert Owens mix, which sees a funky vocal over the original. But the real action is on side B. The MLK mix contains the complete "I Have A Dream" speech, whilst the Chuck D mix combines the "Can U Feel It" anthem with the "In The Beginning, There was Jack" vocal. Essential late night tune.
