…udiophile terms, CDs are always better quality sound, most faithful to the original sound that the artist/producer heard while creating it – as making vinyl involves all kinds of tweaks such as chopping off the high frequencies and shaping the bass frequencies into mono, and playing it back has many more inherent mechanical complications – but vinyl does also give you a more constant smooth waveform, and that frequency-chopping can give it a reall…

…his own unique take on the track. Taking all the essential elements of the original and re-working them into something entirely new, it’s a remix that does everything a remix should whilst remaining full of surprises. Lifting the characteristic vocals and guitars of its a-side counterpart and placing them against downtempo boogaloo percussion, a warm double bass b-line, quirky whistles and subtle organs, the track opens at a deceptively laid back…

…sound to get rid of the infamous subtle background defect apparent in the original pressing. Now Again described the album like this in 2008: It took funk archivists years to discover this gem, but it’s a timely resurface. Wartts sound – a mixture of soulful, funky, melancholic yet celebratory exhortations to the Lord – belies the music’s age. In a time when most contemporary-leaning Gospel acts were moving towards the “boogie” sounds of then-pop…

Later on Drake and Lil Wayne dropped 64 bars each on it calling their version “Ignant Sh*t” in a clear attempt to top the original. I never liked any of the bars as much as I liked the beat.
