Roxanne's Revenge (Original-Street Version)

The notorious one-take, on the spot, improvised recording that took place in the queensbridge projects in marley marl's apartment. This is the one people heard first in 1984. Roxanne recorded it off the top of her head between laundry cycles. The video version is the studio recorded version they had to make after being sued by UTFO for copyright infringement.

I guess you mean the version without the bleeps? That version was only played once, when Mr. Magic played the tape on air the very first time. Luckily it's on youtube.
