Well, I have quite a few information about 'Take Five(CD)' & 'XL'
#1 This CD was released as (from) 'Blue Note Label'.
#2 XL : German Rapper's Name
#3 Contents : Take 5 (4-Version) + Captino Time = 5 Track (Mini Album)
Then, May be 'Captino Time' is Included Only Japan Version.
#4 Of Course, The Source as 'Sampling' is followings !!
Paul Desmond (Compose), Dave Bluebeck Quartet.
But, I don't know the Code-Number (Use when you Order this CD at CD-Shop)
of this CD's as Blue Note Label in 'US' and 'EC'.
***
In Japan, this CD was released almost same time with "US3" from Toshiba-EMI
as 'Eau Label'.
And It's available in japan as
XL(P.Desmond-XL),"Take 5-Kool Summer Mix"
,TOCP-7900, Oct 13. 1993, \1200
Then, I heard the track 'Take Five' from the CD
'Blue Note Club - Special Sampler Vol.3 (1993)'
***
I like "Take 5/XL" very much because it's so cool & have a taste Hip-Hop.
Is this useful ?
