Awesome 3 - Hard Up

One of my favourite tracks ever, and one of the first Awesome 3 tracks. Long time before the anthem Don't Go.

After a bit of looking it does appear this was by "Second Chance" and not "Awesome 3". I can't find it in their track listings, but it is in Second Chances. :-S

Well I don't know about that, but I only have the Awesome 3 version on vinyl so I can't compare. But if you open the images at Discogs on "Second Chance - Hard Up" you'll find out that "Redone by Frank DeWulf" is printed on the cover of Second Chances record.

0:28 to 0:52 sounds a bit like Assault on precinct 13 soundtrack

@AndyLeesES jeez guys, this whole culture was based around 'borrowing bits and pieces of other people's music- don't be so anal! It's good and that's all that maters.....

Awesome 3 indeed, heard it at Shelleys on a white vinyl and had to ask one of the boys on the decks (think it was an Amnesia night) - bought it the day it came out and played it to death through a Mission Cyrus system costing £2k back then....the neighbours must have loved me.
