Edited 2 years agoAh the Von Trapp mix. Promo mix with copyright samples from The Sound of Music. Strangely never released commercially. Works wonderfully well with or without Julie's approval.

There also seems to be a sample of Sergei Prokofiev's "Romeo & Juliet" in here. Right? -

This is the one to own out of the 12" presses ..

This 12" was totally undisputed back in 1990 !! ... A Tribe Called Quest together with De La Soul was the No 1 DJ fodder :) ... This 12" is the "ONE" you want, because it has the mix all DJ´s played at the time ... "Extended Boilerhouse Mix" ... The version that sampled "Lou Reed - Walk On The Wildside" ... Big jam of 1990 ... // Tommy -

People always mention the Lou Reed sample but not the huge section lifted from "What a Waste" by Ian Dury & The Blockheads.

I also noticed the artwork doesn't wrap around on the bootleg (artwork can be seen on the spine). The spine on the bootleg is just plain black. -

Check your matrix/runout etchings. There's a widespread high quality bootleg of this floating around. About half of the listings on Ebay I see are fake. See: https://discogs.sitiosdesbloqueados.info/A-Tribe-Called-Quest-Can-I-Kick-It/release/2406667 -
I have this record. Funny, never thought it sounded like a bootleg. Sleeve and labels look well printed. Weird.. Who would bootleg this anyway? Are we sure this isn't a official release?

The "Phase 5" mix is fantastic: loose and jazzy, with a very funky beat peppered with stutter-steps. It basically throws the original basis of the track out the door, ditching the "Walk On The Wild Side" thing entirely, but replacing it with a nocturnal, effervescent 1970s backbone. It feels more like a really great alternate version than a remix.
