Very cool! Thanks Miss Flyy, for helping to keep the funk alive! You might consider adding New Yorking - i don't think anybody else has put it out there yet. Check the musician credits. . . .

@Tableteria I agree with you on the quality of the original, compared to the overdubbed versions. Both are good, but the original wins. But it just goes to show, you can't keep a good song down. :) I will put "New Yorkin'" on my channel (it's a great song!) and update the text with the musicians' credits as well. I know you were on there, can't hide from me. (Just kidding). Again, thanks for opening my eyes and ears to the original recording!

You should use the original album cover, which features the original members of WDF. This re-release has an awful bubble-sounding percussion overlaid on the original track. BTW, bassist Woudy Hughes created Seven Minutes' distinctive bassline

@Tableteria Hey there! I didn't know this was a re-release. I found this LP back in 1984 or something and back then nobody knew what it was, I bought it because it looked funky and it is. :) Thank you so much for the info on the conga overdubs, I will buy the original LP or the CD, if it's out on CD!

@missfunkyflyy I have checked it out and saw that it is not available on CD, but it will be out on a re-issued LP in February 2011. I will buy it, again, thanks for the information.

@Tableteria Thank you, Giz, I have now purchased the *original* LP (it's readily available as a reissue). I will add the non-overdubbed version of this song, and "Ain't Nothing But Something To Do", a.s.ap.p
