Something was lost when ‘Hundred Dollar Bill’ was re-recorded as ‘Ijustwannachill’ for The LP. This first take is a little bit faster than the album version (enough to shave half a minute off the run time), which seems to spark-up the artist formerly known as Paul Juice to rap with a little more vigor. This is why bootlegs are the greatest and also why, more often than not, the first versions of rap songs get it right from the jump.
THIS is the version I’ve been searching for.
My wax is boxed up and I had this on a bootleg.
Thanks for this Robbie!!
Is the version of Funkorama different?
@Ben: Sounds like the one of the mixes on the normal 12″ to me.
Nice find, didn’t know the versions were different
This was on a 12″ with a blue label on one side and red on the other, was a favorite back in day
Paul sounds a lot more energetic than on the released version.
