12": DO IT - BE FOR BE BOP

ICP 013

(?/90)

Be For Be Bop (Don't Dream It Mix) / (TV Tone) / (Human Beat) / (Ambient)

Don't have much info about this... Apparently it's not an interview disc but a "Euro House" 12" single featuring a sample of a Lydon interview from Italian TV (told you we we're scraping the bottom of the barrel!).

The track uses the title melody of an Italian TV show called 'Be Bop A Lula', and was produced by Umbi Damiani.

As well as Mr Lydon it also features the likes of: Boy George, Bryan Ferry, David Bowie, George Michael, Grace Jones, James Brown, Jane Birkin, John Taylor, Lisa Coleman, Little Steven, Malcolm McLaren, Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Peter Gabriel, Public Enemy, Run DMC, Simon Le Bon, Stevie Wonder & Tina Turner.
