when your sampling vocals do you usually buy accapella.

I got an old Stephanie Mills Record, and I would love to use some of her vocals on my tracks. But damn it, I can never catch a good sample of her singing without a million instruments going on in the background. How do you guys deal with this? I run into the same problem with melodies, sometimes I just want the piano or the violin and not the other stuff.

Good ear, eq, and chopping skills.
