I just realized I started this little hobby of mine exactly 2 years ago today, with pretty boring posts on Atmosfear, Sade and local producers. It took one week and a post on an ancient mix of mine to generate any traffic, though.
I want to thank all of my regular visitors and subscribers for hanging on so long. This has been a lot of fun, taught me a lot about music and opened some doors too so let’s keep it going.
Two celebrate these 2 years, here’s 2 versions of my favorite weird old school classic. Area Code 615’s harmonica jam from 1970 is pretty well known, but the mid-80’s Italian bootleg remix incorporating the You’ll Like It Too break is kind of obscure I guess. As weird as the groove is, it seems it always appealed to a lot of different DJ’s, maybe it’s time someone recycled it again.
Area Code 615: Stone Fox Chase
Area Code 605: Stone Fox Chase Remix
awesome, stone fox chase is that seventies hillbilly raw that always justifies at least two minutes of play. I haven’t played this in a minute. my cover has the tweetie bird on it- I remember there being that in the know italo version on teh wall around these parts too.
grats on 2 years of often imitated never duplicated heavyweight crate blogging.
Thanks for your dedication, the content is always killer.
Sampo,
I remember having some Remix of Stone Fox Chase as well on ZYX label. Band was Icareus or something (record is somewhere in attic right now so I cannot check). Is this the same song or other?
And congrats for the two years! Haven´t missed a post.

I don’t have the Icarus version here, but was under the impression that it’s not the same?
keep up the blog mate
Just don`t stop… Kiitos bigtime, best blog around for me! Ja genau.
The very first record that I ever played, on my very first trip to Helsinki, was Stone Fox Chase (@ the Lifesavers anniversary party.)
