    yes..


  • theres a reissue 45 with the i want a chance for romance on it b/w the instrumental if you cant spend $700 on an og. i know the word reissues polarises the strut but i think its worth getting just to tide you over until you come across an og.

    I just got excited when I head the song and saw the cover, a good song I don't remember being on there...but then I pulled out the LP and realized you had said "bonus track"....good record anyways, but now it just feels incomplete.

    Mod DJs here in LA are wearing that reissue out at every 60s club night. I ain't complaining.

    This track was on the Broasted Not Fried comp, which had me scrambling
    for records for years. I think the only things I have from that on
    some kind of legit wax are Harlem River Drive, Monguito Santamaria, and
    Pete Rodriguez. I hate comps for this reason in general, especially garage
    comps. With garage comps, not only can you not afford the singles, but half
    the time you couldn't even find them for sale even if you had the money!

    Yep, it was on "Broasted or Fried" and on another slightly crappy Latinsoul comp called "Latino Cool".
    I would be trippin if I found the OG for cheap but I'm happy enough having it on the compilation.
    Dancing people don't care if you're playing it from comp or OG and I don't care about non-dancing people (when DJing).

  • Say word. I earned mine, was not born with it.

    11 years ago I was eating plain whoppers and wearing champion hoodies.

    word, and now Gucci flip-flops and $250,000 mixing boards is all a brotha knows.
