Steve Poindexter – Work That Mutha Fucker

According to this article, Computer Madness and other tracks were actually produced by Wes Green, at the age of 16. Steve has basically stolen them. Green is now trying to reclaim his rights.

computer madness is literally the best song ever I cant help but dance every time

id say avoid this version. I thought the Re-Work would just be a remaster with a cleaner or fatter mix or something like that, but its a remix or dub version with more delay, less WORK THAT MF. havent heard that version before. It aint bad and could work well in a mix, but at that point just play the original, way better. chillin with the p is sped up, shortened and the entire track is run through a flanger effect for some reason. absoulutely useless, no idea why they did that.

computer madness and Born to freak are as normal. the quality is a bit rough too, but i havent heard the original vinyl yet so i wont judge too hard. Eight O Eight is just a 808 beat. its nice and thats that.

damn, i thought this would be a good remaster being the original label and all that... the other remasters have bad quality or a glitch... damn seems like the release is cursed and i have to pay big time for a NM original

People posting about a glitch on the red- on- white label copies are referring to represses, not this original 89' release... so, the 2013 reissue & later copies not yet listed.

I swear to God, there is no glitch on my record (exactly this edition, bought in 2017). Give it try if you see it in a shop, maybe you're as lucky as me!

This press has the original version (not the rework) of "Work That Mutha ......" on it. Also, the track does NOT have the glitch at 3:25 on it (which the Dance Mania presses do). However, the sound is not as crisp as on the DM presses, it sounds a little like a bootleg.

I am sorry to say but this 12" can be filed under: HOW TO NOT DO A REISSUE!

The master is obviously taken from a vinyl and unfortunately there was no effort made in any kinda of audio restoration, click and pops of the recorded vinyl are still present, it's even worse on the 3:25 min mark on Work That Mother….. there's a terrible glitch from transferring the digital recording, for me personal it leaves this release with a very shallow taste! Did they even listened to the test pressing before they started the presses :( … it could have been so good and turned out so bad. I think you can do this better in 2016 Dance Mania.

Some more copies showed up at Juno recently. Unfortunately still have the glitch in A1.

The new RP on Dance Mania which came out Jan 2016 also has the glitch........
I'd say it's towards the final third of the record on my copy. Very disappointing.

Most no doubt know 'Work That MF' & 'Computer Madness', being total classics. On the flip, 'Chillin' With The "P"' sets a real off-world techno vibe from the start, about as vintage sounding as it gets, hugely refreshing, and on this white & red label copy at least, pressed clean & loud (as with all tracks). 'Born To Freak' has to be my pick, partly due to being the underdog, and partly due to having a sharp sneaky acid line, staggered spitting snares & deep thumping toms- impossible to ignore. This track is for techno connoisseurs & will pound the floor to bits. If you want a decent press, this ones a safe bet.
