SAMPLED VOLUME 4 - 40 ORIGINAL SOUL, JAZZ, FUNK, ROCK & DISCO TRACKS 2CD NEW

The concept of the Sampled series is simple. Virgin have chosen a selection of contemporary dance and hip-hop hits, traced the samples used in them and presented them all in their original glory on a double CD. It's an easy process but like many simple ideas, it works. The first three in the series have offered some real gems, and this latest is also full of rarities, classics and curious oddities too. There are a few obvious tunes too, but if you want to hear the tracks behind the Happy Mondays' "Step On" (John Kongos' "He's Gonna Step On You"), Ice T's "You Played Yourself" (James Brown's "The Boss"), Royksopp's "So Easy" (Gals and Pals "Blue On Blue") Layo and Bushwacka's "Love Story" (Nina Simone's "Rags and Old Iron") or DJ Shadow's "Dark Days" (David McCallum's "House Of Mirrors"), this is the album for you.
