Mickey Finn And Aphrodite* – Bad Ass !

Classic steely banger. Proper tune, huge tune for us back then. I when this came out, I was just getting into the scene.

A true classic b/w another great riddim. Also came with black sleeves.

best version of "Bad Ass" it the LAPD mix from the "Global Takeover" album. The original 12"s were indeed cheesy and a bit rougly mixed (though really catchy), but the LAPD is smooth as silk and still worth the play. Great build-up in the intro with police radio bla, onto the much loved familiar bassline.

Up until the 2nd drop this track is immense. Yes its slightly cheesy as others point out, but it should take its place in the history of the genre as being a track everyone knows (who should know) and going off if used correct. Worthy of praise in my humble opinion

drop at any dnb rave and it is going off, end of. that is all that matters!

You know, at the time this was released I absolutely LOVED this record as Aphrodite was the king of Jump-up at the time however, listening to it now it hasn't aged all that well and I am amazed at how simple it is but then, Aphrodite was pretty much following a formula at this point and it was a great formula for sure. I sold my copy of this recently as well as the remixes as I hadn't played it in nearly 20 years so it was time for someone else to enjoy it and thats what the song is for, enjoyment. Pure, unadulterated enjoyment as not everyone wants to stand around and wax philosophical on the dance floor all the time.

I don't understand why there are so many negative reviews on this. Sure it's not great but not that bad either it is a pretty decent filler in my opinion will sit nicely next to something like super sharp shooter or urban style music...worth getting for a couple of quid

Gonna revive this for the Summer and make dancefloors Great again!!!
Tune If ever there was one bside is better though...

$2 record; 'nuff said, you get what you pay for...

Yes this tune is cheese and reminds me of a lot of the cheesy quaver nights at Desire @ The Island, all the new emerging quavers in their Iceberg thinking they really were BADASS! But I it I skanked to it a few times if the mood was right and the DJ didn't play it too long but just used it as a bridge. Do you want it? Probably not! Do you need it? Defo not! But if you like to complete your collection and get it out for a laugh one night at a home party with friends who know all your dark secrets anyway then go ahead and buy it. But don't pay over a quid for it!
