Two Thousand Copies and a Drum Break

Welcome back to Crate Diggers. I'm your host, and this episode is AI assisted, produced in the Wowzaradio podcast studio. Today we pull one record out of the crate: a nineteen seventy-three soul single that almost nobody bought on release, and that almost every hip hop producer has sampled since. We'll talk about the session players who cut it in a single afternoon, the label that pressed only two thousand copies, and why the drum break in the second bar still turns up on dance floors fifty years later. Keep your headphones on. Let's dig.
