Steinski & The Mass Media-The Motorcade Sped On

[derekdextremist1]

This track finally taught me the main difference between President Kennedy and President George W Bush. One had his brains blown out while the other behaved as if he'd had his brains blown out.......

[gdwhat]

Not very danceable? People have lost their soul, old music isn't getting worse as time passes people. It's the new music that's starting to suck. We're so used to every single track on every single album being a 'club' jam that we now believe anything else is 'not danceable'.

[fangzobini]

Isn't this the edited version? The one I had played the sample "flash" when the reporters says "here is a flash"

[bunnykrisfalowski]

Just to repeat a post I put on the We'll Be Right Back thread. I have the NME Hat Trick EP featuring this version. As you can (just) see from the image here it came out in the UK in FEB 1987 and it's credited to Steinsky & the Mass Media feat. DJ ET! On the same side is Sonic Youth – White Cross (Live) and, again, if you squint, you can see that in the image above as well. And, on the flip, oh boy: Sly & Robbie – When You're Hot You're Hot (Live in London)!

[bunnykrisfalowski]

@bunnykrisfalowski Obviously I meant STEINSKI.

[auxlen]

excellent. i just remembered this track and thought i wonder if YouTube has it. and it did! great stuff. thanks for upload.

[uVueD2b]

would love to add this to my collection...

[PrAnG2000]

Still got my two copies of this. Came free with NME mag which I think was about 50 pence at the time. So, the two copies of this cost me a pound.

Not even sure how much it's worth today, but I know it ain't cheap.

[kudge43]

how much is the NME 7" worth?

[stuartellis2006]

i paid £1000 for this on tommy boy label as it was still in the shrink !!!! i still have it and want to open it but dont want to de value it !!! lol

[pilgrimomega]

I own this! So glad to know I'm in good company to find other fans here....

[tedcousens]

I had a test pressing of this...

[EBTERR]

WOW This song takes me back, thanks.

[MacksterDaddy]

thanks for posting. My grandpa is Sam Pate and he died a year ago. We are celebrating hs life today and it was interesting to hear.

[monotyper]

used get dropped by jay strongman at the dirtbox back in the day...

[friskylamar]

Thanks for posting this... It was a mainstay in my old radio show back when there was some freedom on the airwaves in memphis, tn.

[DomRampello]

mrs kennedy jumped up she said oh no.

[bunglebonce]

Great track. Dated maybe but beautiful in it's simplicity.

[mistertakahashi]

the original is the best

[hazmck]

I have this 7inch, i had a paper round at the time n nicked it out of the nme. Good post

[eastgaryradio]

Put me on Bill, put me on!!!

[BrianBMello]

"We dare not forget today that we are airs of that first revolution!" - Brilliant homage and obituary possibly the most profound of all the kennedy homages.

[BootStrap01]

I guess that is 'pretentious' as in 'bollocks'. Welcome to the 1990's. Welcome to advertising. Welcome to banking. Welcome to anarchy.

[remic4]

Pretentious.

[robpri]

This is absolute bollocks.

[fendweller]

Could you qualify that in some way?

[neilano]

check out my site for a modern take on the cut n paste sample mix.c/w NW England stylee.

[neilano]

yeah.class.i've still got a copy of this.

[motorpacer]

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...

[neilhy]

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!

[moralkiosko]

thanks for posting!

i have a different mix with sampling of "honky tonk women" used as the rhythm thack and other differences on the compilation cd DEATH OF VINYL, on the Dove label. sadly my copy is damaged and can't be played.

[dickmarellan]

Nice one.

I'm still looking for my 12" of "We'll Be Right Back"

[vigo202]

i had that!! mine went walk about :(

[petesn]

Do I remember a Promo video of sorts for this ..or is the old coconut playing tricks?

[pointform]

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.

[tacticalbattledroid]

well i never i did not ever think i would here this again i had this on a 12 inch white lable good one thanks for putting it on :-)

[ressla]

Thanks for your nice comments. BTW did you own the very limited Tommy Boy promo from 1986, or the 1994 bootleg that also had Young MC "know how" and some other songs?

[tacticalbattledroid]

i think it must have been 1986 !!!!!!!!!

was there a releas befor 1986 ?? as im sure it was befor then i could be wrong but all the same good to hear it thanks for the reply:-)

[ressla]

Try d i s c o g s d o t c o m , search the artist and you should find a few copies for sale . ( i am not selling a copy , and don't know anyone personally who is).

[Chiggs58th]

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.
