Limited Edition Gold Vinyl

Silvertone Records 1315-1-JD 1990 12" 33rpm (USA)

"Fools Gold" was heavily influenced by the Dust Brothers-produced Young MC track "Know How", which featured a wah-wah guitar sample from Isaac Hayes' "Theme From Shaft", the break from "Apache" by The Incredible Bongo Band, and a bass line written and performed by Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The main portion of Mani's bass line is essentially a direct reference to Flea's bass line, only transposed and with the rhythm altered to emphasize the beat in a different way. The lyrics are influenced by the film "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" and also reference Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" and The Velvet Underground's Marquis De Sade-themed song "Venus In Furs".

A Note About Shipping To The U.S.
We are located in Canada, but have registered ourselves on eBay.com instead of eBay.ca because it gives us significantly better global exposure.  The problem with this is that eBay wants us to charge shipping appropriate to US, where media mail and other options make for fairly reasonable delivery costs. We tried it for a while but ended up losing money on shipping or having to cancel the orders because we couldn't afford to ship for those rates. To manage this we have set the US shipping to run a calculator based on an American location (we chose Plattsburgh as fairly close) and charging according to UPS pricing.  This avoids the cancellation issue, but appears to the buyer to be a prohibitive shipping cost and misrepresents the shipping as being only expedited. If you give us your postal code we will see if we can offer a more reasonable option, but generally we can get a single LP by air to most places in the continental US for $11, a few bucks less for ground.
Thanks for shopping Sir Helmitt,
