Coldcut's Paid In Full remix dissection

Right then , this won't be conclusive, it's a bit of a bugger finding clips for everything, there were a whole heap of samples used. Although, they weren't actually "sampled", Coldcut didn't have a sampler at the time, they recorded direct from vinyl on to 4 track.







"This is a Journey Into Sound" this vocal sample that starts off the track and with a few other lumps thrown in, "Stereophonic Sound For Dance Music". Came from a record from Decca called "A Journey Into Stereo Sound" that introduced people to the exciting new world of stereo recordings, spoken by British actor Geoffrey Sumner. I bought one of these by accident in a charity shop years ago, popped it on the turntable and almost had heart failiure.

Chuck Brown & The Soul Searchers - Ashley's Roachclip @3.30

I wasn't going to include bits from the original mix of Paid In Full, just the remix but what the heck, here's the famous drum beat used on a heap of cool stuff, like Milli Vanilli, PM Dawn, EMF....ok, but there are some good ones too. Also buried in the track is the filtered flute lick from Paid In Full. And....at the begining you'll find a chunk of Run DMC's "Runs House".

Sound Experience - Boogie Woogie

Nice conga break, never heard the original before today, been after this for donkeys years. The vocal was used on an earlier Coldcut mash up track "Beats and Pieces".

Play School & Play Away -Bang on a Drum lp @ 1.50

Well, I've never heard this original before either, a very groovey drum break from right at the end of Paid In Full. Awesome.
