prince far i's water the garden question

Post by super ape »

so i haven't heard this tune from singers and players since maybe 1990 when it was on a mixed tape i had. i finally scored it this morning, on "revenge of the underdog," and was really keen on hearing it again since i have been searching for this since i heard it last.
but, it is not the same mix at all that i remember. can someone tell me if there are other mixes of this track?
i don't own any far i original of this, maybe that is the mix i used to own.
all i know is the mix i had didn't have any guitar or keys. it was all prince far i, drums, bass, and hand drums. it was really, really heavy and had tons of reverb.
anyone know?
thanks

Hey Super ape

i have that track on the ON -U CD Pay It All Back Vol 2.The cd notes say Water the Garden is from the 82 LP "Revenge of the Underdog" (on u lp11). This is an 84 re-mix & features an intro extract from Noah House Of Dread's "Stand Firm" & Prince Far I's "Prodigal Son".

maybe this is the mix you seek?
