Watch the stereo version:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=415vJGqKmvY Very rare 7" track given away free with the NME magazine Feb '87. From the legendary Steinski of "lessons 1 2 3" fame. Cut up commentary of the JFK assassination over a hip hop beat. Although very dated sounding now , and not very danceable , this was hugely influential at the time.

Mar 16, 2008 - I love this tune but I could never find a hard copy of it. Does anyone know where I could get one? I first heard it on CAPITAL RADIO in London way back in the early eighties when they used to have a Friday night hip hop program.

Mar 27, 2008 - Wow, thanks. I have not heard this in years; Cfny in Toronto used to play this every weekend when they had the all-night dance party. I used to have it virtually memorized and it would run through my head all day.

May 26, 2008 - Brilliant. Steinski and Mass Media had some awesome tunes out back in the day. Why oh why did I sell all my records! :-( Still, you can't be 16 all your life I suppose!

Aug 21, 2008 - Awesome. One of the best examples of the cut up method from those days in my opinion but what would I know! Only had it taped off the radio back in the 80's and still love it. You can get it off i Tunes! Couldn't belive it but would still love the vinyl but alas...
