Remember that time that A.G. fired shots at Arrested Development in The Source for not mentioning Show when they won the Grammy for ‘Tennesee’? Here’s the remix in question, alongside fifteen other examples of Show’s production magic, ranging from his early big band horn-stab style through to his incredibly sparse, stripped down period and his more recent cinematic sound.

Nice! One of the greatest to do it.
Yes, mate!
Off work tomorrow, thank fuck! So this will be in rotation tonite, tomorrow & the weekend.
The Boss.
Best Behaviour(remix) and Big Apple Gone Rotten are magnificent. Am starting to get comfortable with the post-stripped down cinematic sound as Robbie puts it. SHOWBIZ, he is a without a doubt a legend and one of the greatest. BX stand up!
Great compilation Robbie. This is the first time I heard some of these. Noticed Diamond re-raps his lyrics for Sally.
some great remixes, especially love the diamond d/sally joint, one of my all time favorite beats.
Nice one, criminally overlooked.
Thanks for sharing, your time and efforts are more than appreciated.
