    Default 40 miles-better days

    i few years ago my mate lent me a dave pearce anthems cd (crap )

    on it had a mix of

    jimi polo better days mixed with congress 40 miles

    the tune itself was exactly the same as congress
    but had the jimi polo better days vocal

    i know dave pearce used to A&R for polydor/urban records in 1989
    so i might be just a special mix he did
    because he had access to the accapella

    does anybody know if it got pressed up on vinyl?

    shame its "mixed" or i would press it myself

    Are you not on about the Sasha mix of... Jimi Polo - Better Days, which was heavily bootied from the 'DMC DJ Press only'

    "I HAVE just returned from a diplomatic trip to the Congo and I can testify that at no point did I see anyone drinking Um Bongo."

    nope definitely NOT the sasha remix

    its EXACTLY the same as the instrumental 40 miles with the jimi polo vocal from the urban 1989 release of better days

    its like someone got the jimi polo accapella and mixed over the top of 40 miles

    nothing like the sasha mix at all

    and its not the jimi's tears one sided thing either

    it could just be the original mix of better days before sasha got his hands on it

    must admit the original aint up to much thou (in my opinion)

    Let's be right - it's complete pants, unlike the Sasha DMC mix, which is actually the best tune ever made.

    Here's the original, anyway.

    BTW, I've always assumed Congress copied this piano for 40 miles, 'cos the chords are exactly the same. Someone else used it for that "girls who like boys" thing as well.
