Words about the record
Don’t really know if we can talk about early mashup style here, but this song is a two other songs ‘s combination : « Guns Of Brixton » by The Cash and « Just Be Good To Me » by The « S.O.S. Band » (and American R&B band). I Sometimes still play this song, probably because this Dub is good to me.

Hi,
I used to have this song but was only liking the accapella. I used to put it over a track called Snappiness by BBG
for a baleric vibe.
Unfortunately I have lost the origional one and am wanting to re-do this old mix.
Is there any chance of making the accapella avaiable??
Please, please, please …..
if there’s a glimmer oh hope I can be found here
