Track List
Re-release of the ‘88 rave house classic 'The Real Life' sampling Queen, Simple Minds, Prince and Scarface here perfectly formed Oppy Mix. Used copies still sell up to £50 with very few cropping up on the market so this official remastered reissue will be a welcome sight to many.
Flipped with the collectable housey / garage crossover gem 'So Where Are You' harnessing the raw vocal power of Kevin Williams over a tough house rhythm. Both the Hashish Dub and Vocal Mix are included on this release.
Repressed on Blue 12 inch vinyl with replica Smokin’ artwork.

Corporation Of One is the project of NYC Bronx DJ Freddy Bastone, also known for his partnership with the legendary Mark Kamins, who worked with Madonna. Originally released in 1989 on SMOKIN', a sublabel of Tuff City Records. The A-side, "The Real Life," even quotes a phrase from Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody," while the B-side offers two mixes from that same year's single "So Where Are You." "So Where Are You (Hashish Dub Mix)" (sample1), also reissued on Tom Carruthers' "Non Stop Rhythm," is a killer track blending old-school vibes with an Arabic feel. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
