NME - Mighty Reel - side A

The age of this tape shows. It won't even play all the way through which is the reason you only get a chunk of it (the usual reason is impatience with shite tracks!).

The Kid Creole tune is great and the Brother D track (misnamed, it's actually "How we gonna make this black nation rise?") is a slightly different version than I've heard before.

A3 Kid Creole & The Coconuts - Loving You Made A Fool Out Of Me (Spanish Rap)
A4 Weekend - A Day In The Life Of ... 3:40
A5 Music From Soweto / Elfas Zondi - Umkumbane 2:45
A6 Brother "D"* With Collective Effort - Dib-Be-Dib-Be-Dize 5:25

Hi,
Can you remember what The Secret Life Of Arabia sounded like? Was it an edited version of the Dub Version available on Methods Of Dance Vol 2 or was it a version unique to this cassette?
Cheers!

No idea, I'm afraid. I think that was a part of the tape that wouldn't play at all.

I too am crucially trying to find out more about this BEF/MacKenzie track. The likelihood of finding a playable version of this cassette 30 years later is pretty slim.
