Brilliant tune,

A very good sample of it was used by the Young Disciples on their album
"Road to Freedom". If you're living in the UK you can still buy the
album or 12" in Soul Jazz records, which is based in Ingestre Place,
which is in the Soho area of the west-end of London. I don't think that
they're on the net yet but if you have a browser check Erik's A-Jazz
page it should give you the full address details.

C-Ya,

I don't know of any compilation, but Soul Jazz re-released the song on
12" (it was one of their first releases). They later re-released the
album "Fresh Out". I'm not sure if the album would still be
available. Ask around.

Hope that helps,
