Thanks, Twitch!

By the way was Can You Feel It ever officially released with either the MLK speech or the This Is My House speech, or are they just bootlegs?

it came out (in the uk at least) on desire records with the 'this is my house' speech on it.

also on desire, another spoken word classic -

bam bam - where's your child?

When Trax was doing all of their reissuing in '04, they did a 12" called "The Complete Can You Feel It," which contained the MLK version and "House is a feeling" rant (labeled as the Chuck D version!?!). If they ever were (and I don't think so), they are bootlegs no more.

Where are there spoken vocals in "It's Alright?"

Stir OTM on Blake -- too many to name, but I think my fav is "Forever and a Day."

The horrific camp english babblings over Baxendale's "I built this city" deserve a mention.
