Yeah. Now, i havent heard it in ages.. i got it (a few months back),
listened to it once or twice and let some guy borrow it.. havent seen it
since. But from what i can remember one side has drums + some scratching
(i realy cant remember if there was bass and other instruments) and the
other side just has beats without the scratching. Sorta like Rhettmatic
and Babu's "wild stylus" LP... half of it is allready scratched on and
the rest is "clean" so that you can use it yourself.
