Instant Funk - Got My Mind Made Up 1988/1989 Remix

[Dj_Choonz]

Does anyone know of a version of Instant Funk's "I Got My Mind Made Up" which was released back in 1988/1989 which sampled the lyrics from Salt N Pepa "Push it real good"?
It was less disco more hip house.

This particular remix got a MetroMix (Dj remix service) mix in 1990 which gave it a slightly more 90's sound. The credits on this say that the tune is courtesy of Jackpot Records/Hot Productions. I've looked these labels up on Discogs but not much is listed under these.

Anyone?

Jack Pot and Hot were 2 assosiated labels from the right period - DSK were with Jack Pot and the original release of What Would We Do came out on that label

Shouldn't this be on tuneid?

I think you might be on about one of my most wanted unknowns. The clip attached is from an Italian set i had up on tuneid a few months back, Alex C.Cosmik @ Ciak, Bologna, Dec '88, and didn't get id'd. Also samples Aurra 'Make Up Your Mind'.

Brilliant stuff lastnightadj!! Thanks for sorting out the label info!
I'd been searching GEMM and the web for Jackpot with no luck so I'll give Jack Pot a go.

It would have to be one of my favourite funk tunes too Bizkit. It's one of those tunes that never ages, that you never get tired of.

Noel mate, thats the tune!! That's the version Im after.
It must have been an ultra rare release.
The MetroMix 1990 remix samples the drums etc from KYZE's tune 'Stomp' and lacks a couple of the vocal samples (incl. the "Push it .." sample).
Guys I'll rip a copy of this shortly and msg you when it's ready for downloading.

I've ripped the tune and messaged Bizkit and Noel. If anyone else would like this, please send me a private message.
Cheers.

So close yet so far away .... still need to hunt down the details of the original 1988 release and I dont think it's going to be easy!
