Single release by Cornershop is a four-track release of the band's best known song, which brought them international fame in the Summer of '97, when the single was first released in a 7'' version (August '97). The first Norman Cook Remix single was released in late '97 as single-sided or 3-track 12'' vinyl issues. The original single peaked at #60 on the UK singles chart list, but when re-issued with the Norman Cook remix [this], the single ended up as number #1 on the charts.
The original is a great 1997 song, but the speeded up Norman Cook Remix simply makes it another great tune. Both the single single remix and the extended version are impressive takes.
