LEMON JELLY!  Massive inspiration for me, big ups Nick!   :)

From our third album, '64-'95.

Full track title '68 AKA Only Time.  Samples John Rowles' hit 'If I Only Had Time', slowed down for added gravitas.  Listen to the original, it's very good.  The wobbly percussive sound towards the end is us hitting a wok with water in it. Can you find the single drumbeat I deliberately put out of phase?  Guy Davie buried his head in his hands at that one but it's still my favourite bit of all time in all music ever.  Oh look, a squirrel!

64-'95

Only Time

Lemon Jelly - Only Time

Wah Wah 45s celebrate the joy of the cover version! The label has always had a keen ear for a re-working of a classic piece of music, whether it be an unexpected brass take of a soft rock or hip hop cut from Hackney Colliery Band, or a sultry rendition of a soul nugget from Stac, with the only conditions being that the cover takes the original piece of music somewhere new, fresh and exciting.

The label's 15thanniversary seemed like a good time to not only re-visit a number of very canny covers from over the years, but to throw in a couple of new and exclusive ones for good measure too and as a way of saying thank you for all your support over the last decade and a half. So, as well as well loved renditions of Bill Withers' The Same Love That Made Me Laugh from Ashley Thomas and Part-Time Heroes' gorgeous re-imagining of The Boss' Dancing In The Dark, you get a spine-tingling, pitch shifting, electronica flavoured take of Rose Royce's ballad Wishing On A Star from Stac x Blue Daisy and The Gene Dudley Group's fierce dance floor funk version of Richard "Groove" Holmes No Trouble On The Mountain (itself a Wah Wah 45s release back in the day!) featuring the rasping vocals of Annie Frankenstein.

Add to that Lea Lea's recent cover of Talking Heads' Psycho Killer, Scrimshire's updating of Tammi Terrell's version of All I Do, with Stac on vocal duties, as well as club classics from Henri-Pierre Noel, Bev Lee Harling, Alister Johnson and a couple of big hitters from Hackney Colliery Band and you've got one heavyweight haul of version excursions on your hands.

Lemon Jelly-Lost Horizons (GraniteMilk Re-Edit)

"Skeewiff Vs Shawn Lee see’s two musical dons collide… veterans of the beat, masters of sound, this is the album to end all albums. 
If you’re lovin’ a bit of Shawn Lee’s slick retro vibes and you like a huge dollop of Skeewiff’s breaks and beats in your life, then look no further as Pedigree Cuts brings you a funked up mix of re-wiffed classics."

Can't beat a bit of electronic improvisation.
