>>And anyone have any clue why tere are 3+ different edition of the Jungle
Brothers I'll House You?  Was the original track any good? Who produced
it?<<

Todd Terry.  The original version is pretty damn dope.  I can't see any
reason for fucking with a classic unless you let a genius do it.

Todd Terry next did some cool house/hip hop crossover with T La Rock -
"Housin' With the T" and "You've got the Time" was a good 12", though the
dub mixes were the ones to check; if I remember rightly the LP was a little
on the dodgy side.  T La Rock's Mantronix produced stuff is still the best
though, especially "Live Drumming with the Country Boy" off the LP, and
"Having Fun" where TLa and Greg Nice (human beatbox) do loads of crazy
impressions and end with "...a beat in Chinese style" which is pretty
insane - that's on a b-side - possibly Bass Machine...
