12-inch heaven, Part 1

I always loved those old 12-inch singles. They'd always have some kind of wacky dance or "dub" mix on the B-side. Sometimes a lousy single could be at least partially redeemed by having a totally weird re-mix included. And most of those things have never been released on CD. So its CULPA DIRECT to the rescue! This begins a series of occasional postings of some of the more amusing dance re-mixes of some of our favorite "rock" artists. Starting things off, here's "DANCING IN THE STREET (Dub Mix)" from the B-side of DAVID BOWIE and MICK JAGGER's 1985 12-inch single. (Actually, Bowie's name comes first on the front and back covers and spine, while the labels read "MICK JAGGER/DAVID BOWIE"). Musicians include G.E. SMITH and EARL SLICK on guitars. Also on the B-side is the "Edited Version", and the A-side is the "Extended Dance Mix". But for now, we're off to Dub City:
