"Funkin' For Jamaica" was re-released about 5 years ago with a superb remix by
Drizabone. I think this is the version you heard on Radio One. Its a lot
more uptempo mix than the original. I beleive it was on Arista records. If
you need
anymore info, then I will dig it out & find the details.

I hope this helps.

cheers,

Nigel
