From the critically acclaimed MOTOWN REMIXED album, we are delighted to announce that two of its most sought-after tracks are being released on 12" by popular demand…
A: GLADYS KNIGHT & THE PIPS - `I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE' (THE RANDY WATSON EXPERIENCE SYMPATHY FOR THE GRAPES REMIX)
AA: EDWIN STARR / `WAR' (KING BRITT REMIX)
CD: MOTOWN / UNIVERSAL MUSIC CATALOGUE 983 1898
12": MOTOWN / UNIVERSAL MUSIC CATALOGUE 983 1899
The Randy Watson SYMPATHY FOR THE GRAPES Remix of `I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE' by GLADYS KNIGHT AND THE PIPS finds ?uestlove from The Roots playing new live drums with James Jamerson while KING BRITT'S rough and ready remix of `WAR' by EDWIN STARR gives a harder house spin to arguably the ultimate protest song.
GRAPEVINE:
"Starts out with Gladys and the Pips doing almost an a capella version of the song then "The Randy Watson Experience" (really ?uestlove from the Roots) turns up the FUNK quotient and makes Gladys & the Pips rock like you have never heard them rock before (almost in a JB's kinda way).
Imagine if you will a meat grinder labelled "Funk
+ Doo Wop" and you placed the original version of this song thru that meat grinder. That's what this record sounds like and much props to ?uestlove for actually creating something that improves on the original." Bob Davis, SOULPATROL.COM
WAR:
"This version of the song could probably be a hit record if it were released and promoted." SOULPATROL.COM

Saturday August 6th @ The Lacy Lady, Tokyo Blue, Romford
