“Bear Witness III (Once Again)” featuring Q-Bert

Editor's Review:

The first thing that most record-familiar folks will notice about this single is that it is just that, a single - there's only one track on each side: the original version on the A-side and a B-side remix. Furthermore, this track is now in its third incarnation, having made its first appearance on Dan's noted 1997 release, Dr. Octagon record (which featured rapper Kool Keith and DJ Q-Bert), then again on the Handsome Boy Modeling School album that Dan did with noted East Coast old school producer Prince Paul. This single, the song's third release, is essentially the same basic, super funky drum track as the OG version, with a different central base line and a wicked new scratching session by Q-Bert, who really is the star of this 12-inch. The B-side contains a lukewarm, electro-fied "MVO Re-Edit" by Starchild Excalibur. $6? Eh.
