Original Exodus?

Does anyone know what the original configuration was for the 2nd NPG album. You know, with songs like Funky, Proud Mary, It Takes 3 etc...

Anyone?


Boris?

'Big Fun', 'Return of the Bump Squad' and 'Cherry Cherry' were also recorded in December 1994 prior to the final confifuration being assembled in early 1995.

'outta space' is a billy preston tune...
It was a tune originally recorded by Preston.

Technically, the music is copyrighted to Joe Greene (with a claim filed by Marthella Wilson Greene), and the words are copyrighted to Billy Preston.

Similarly, 'Proud Mary' was written by John Fogerty, and recorded by Creedence Clearwater Revival.
