Mick Said first BAD live radio
Probably 1986
Any Tranformation welcome
Tracks that were on The Tube tv show I think.
It was the Whistle Test mate but only E=MC2 and half of Medicine Show were aired. I think this might be from a live radio broadcast that went out at the same time.

Actually just looked up chart positions and V13 did better than Beatbox which is surprising to me as Beatbox was played on the radio so much more than V13 ever was and had much more promotion which makes me think V13 should have been the first single seeing as it was far the better song. I could say another bad decision but they got the two singles right off that album maybe Beyond the Palais should of got a chance too.
There was actually three singles from Upping, Sightsee MC didn't chart.
I was listening today and got reminded about Hollywood Boulevard wasnt that a single ? I have the 12inch but not sure if it was an import as its up in the loft and i dont want to check it out. Great song that one as well

Sambadrome - love it another great song
In fact listening to the album on spotify today and been thinking how great it sounds - but i have noticed that they have put back the better mixes on to the album - it sounds a lot better than the original for it as well. Dont like the extra tracks though (Ice cool killer etc) as they just dont suit being on there for me

Hollywood Boulevard was the flip of V13. There was a promo 12" of Hollywood Boulevard (alone) for DJ use. There was a similar promo 12" of Badrock City - the flip of C'mon Every Beatbox. I believe Badrock City was a club hit in New York.
The Sambadrome 12" is also listed on Discogs as promo only ( Brazilian).
Unti recently I had assuned that James Brown must have had a full release somewhere (probably US), as the video is on the compilation that cane out. But Discogs has only promos listed?
