It's A New Day
Artist: Skull Snaps
Released: 1973
Sampled On…:
Stezo "It's My Turn" (1989)
(Produced By Stezo & Paul C.)
Skull Snaps
Kon Says: Another famous break with heavy compression. I don’t know what they decided to do, but whatever they did in that session they did it right. The first person to use that was Stezo from Connecticut for "My Turn." But that whole Skull Snaps LP is bananas, by the way.
Amir Says: That's a Stezo from Connecticut discovery! He had a record out on Fresh/Sleeping Bag records. After after that, to this day, people are like, "Yo, you got that Skull Snaps record?" That's one of those records, if you're a serious collector, you've gotta have. If you don't have Skull Snaps in your collection, your collection is weak.

Also used by the Bomb Squad again on 'Night of the Living Baseheads'. I reckon the Isleys were first with this. JB had a bit of a rep for nicking other people's instrumentals. And replacing a vocal with horn lines seems more likely than the reverse.
