Not heard it - but I do know that it samples "Old Smokey" by Linda Lewis from c.1972, which I have on 7" and absolutely adore: acoustic "folk/funk" at its best (ie. it would have sat well on the Make Music and As We Travel comps from 3 or 4 years ago). Anyhow, there's some sweet sounding analogue (obviously!) keyboard work on there, which would sample well. I'll d/l the Common track at the weekend, and compare/contrast...

Bah, scratch that: it's "Go" which samples "Old Smokey", not "Be".
