bad Cti/Kudu Purchases

The opening track on White Rabbit is awesome and better than the Jefferson version IMO, the album kind of falls off after that, but it's better than most records. I don't love either one of these, but they're both solid.

Some bad CTI records like can still be sampled.

yeah theres a couple bits to sample on that album for sure, not too bad for one of the later cti's... its another one with vocal tracks though.. and a bit disco in places.

i thought id start this thread so that people can warn others/express disappointment in their least favorite releases.

i bought this for £4 and was dissapointed,



its kind of soft rockish in places - i should have been put off by the tracklisting (lucy in the sky with diamonds). Theres also vocals on various tracks.. which never helps when looking for loops.

BUT i still bought it ...... cos its Cti
