Rebirth Of The Flesh

I just managed to listen to this song for the first time, but am unsure what I'm listening to. Is it supposed to contain lots of stop-starts throughout it, or have I downloaded some looped-up version? I've downloaded a couple of versions and both have loads of stop-starts throughout.

The song is wicked, but I can't make my mind up whether it's the real song or a screwed version.

Anyone help?

hmmmm... there is a continoous beat.... and chords going throughout, kind of like the end of If I Was Your Girlfriend when the organ goes high.

The studio version should be about 4:53, give or take a few seconds for blank space you know.

You should be able to tell if you have something official, unofficial or even just fan made as follows

1. There is the circulating 1986 version which has never officially been released:

Rebirth Of The Flesh

Ooh yeah, alright
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Kick drum pounds on the 2 and 4
All the party people get on the floor
We got the beat U're looking 4
The rebirth of the flesh is at your door (Let it in y'all!)

It's a brand new day
3 2 funk ain't in our way (No no no)

Everybody jam 2 the new boogie blues (Check it out!)
