Artist:James ' Jack Rabbit ' Martin
Title:Only Wanted To Be(Acid Mix)
Label:Westside Records 12" promo
Style:Chicago Acid
Year:1988
Comment:-

This Acid mix was only released on this Westside Records white label promo(limited to 500 copies).Recently it has been re-released on the new Bonton label out of Chicago;a bootleg label dedicated to putting out rare and classic Chicago stuff.

I believe James " Jack Rabbit " Martin died in the early '90's due to a astma attack.Very sad indeed.R.I.P.Thanks for the great tracks, Martin.

Enjoy :)

  • How did you get a copy of this 200 ltd promo ? Bastard !!

  • You know...people in high places and all that!! Nah...you could say I got lucky :)

    Peace.

  • went to a BIOLOGY rave in 1989! 5000 people rockin to this! smoke machine, laser, strobe, and the bass!...but you must remember the lyrics...'ONLY WANT TO BE - YOUR FRIEND'....

    Now who would have thought to put such a poigniant line against a thumping acid house bass line! the difference is, music back then was made for the raver specifically, and not for a quick cash in at the record counter!

    JAMES JACK RABBIT WAS A VISIONARY - PEOPLE SHOULD NOT FORGET THAT!...RIP!

  • Agree with your words 100% mate.

  • Now this my son is pretty rare & also bloody good!

  • Glad you liked m8.

see all

  • Me and James used to DJ back in the 80's and the concept behind this song was about a crush he had on my ex girlfriend's best friend . We all used to hang out together but she only saw him as a friend and believe it or not he actually cried over this girl. He was one of the coolest cats you would ever want to meet. R.I.P. " Rabbit " that's what we called him back in the day,we rarely called him James

  • Amazing tune

  • @cplhint I'm very happy to say I found a copy of this today in a second hand indie store in Glasgow. I'll not rub it in by saying how much I paid for it.

  • @cplhint I've got several promo copies of this!

  • I'm pretty sure i sold this to you RFB, £20 in 96' right? All the copies are hand written in different ink. I gave one to a mate recently, still got mine....I've had 3 in total.......I'm sure I recognize your copy! peace brother. Your collection is fantastic BTW. ....ATB )'(

  • i found this in a bargain bin about 10 years ago!

  • one of my old favorite beats.........

  • "Barely a Track" Remix by Legowelt references the eerie high pitched vocals in this. Kick-ass tunes, this and that.
