It's from the first Freakpower LP from a few years back which, when
initially released, came with a "bonus cd" of dub mixes by Norman Cook. That
tune was on that second CD so you might have a hard time tracking it down. I
don't know how many were pressed.
It's a really cool tune and yes, the MLK samples are on it.
By the way, anyone remember Ashley Slater's Microgroove stuff?!?
