Talk About Run - General Saint / Clint Eastwood

[jimmyvaliant]

I'm trying to find a copy of the version of this song that accompanies the video. It's a different version than the one on the "Two Bad D.J." album- it's faster and has a big backbeat. There is a 1:42 clip of it on YouTube. If anyone has any knowledge of this, knows if there was a commercial release, or has a record, CD, CD-R, or mp3 of it for sale, please let me know! Thank you!

I believe this tune was issued on a 12", maybe that's the one you are after. Probably on the Greensleeves label.

I don't know of the music video's version (on the Answer rhythm) being released on record. The 12" has the same rhythm as the cut featured on the Two Bad D.J.s LP, and what a rhythm it is! Only next cut I know of is Anthony Johnson, Little John, & Don Carlos - Jordan River, recently reissued on 7".

Always loved that album with Saint & Eastwood. This particular song is a »cover« (or update) of an old Lord Kitchener song by the name of »Love in the Cemetery«. Great one that too.

Wicked! I never knew about that Lord
Kitchener tune. A very funny and clever song it is.

Plenty of Calypso lyrics in Reggae, specially in Rocksteady and early 80s Rub a Dub/ Dancehall. Listen to Saint & Eastwood's "Matty Gunga Walk" which uses lyrics from "Old Lady Walk a Mile" by Kitch and "Obeah Wedding" by Sparrow.
Big up the grandmasters of Calypso everytime!
