The story of why is told on this 7\" - the first official release on this format (and, technically, the first UK release in any format except as a B-side).\u003c\/p\u003e\nThe original version, here on the flip, is a fine track in it's own right, and is the version you'll find on the seminal 'A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing' album. Built around elements from Johnny Hammond's oft-sampled 'Big Sur Suite' from 1974 and incorporating snatches from Iron Butterfly and the Bar-Kays, it's a truly original, witty track that showcases Dres' deft wordplay and the group's way with a hummable hook.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHowever, what made the song legendary was the reworked version called 'The Choice is Yours (Revisited)', here on the A-side. It more or less rebuilds the track from the foundations and, accompanied by an iconic and acclaimed video, is for many the definitive version.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIt's the soundtrack to many a hyped club night, a track that could ignite the audience in the same way that Onyx's 'Slam' would a couple of years later. It weaves together vocal stabs from Sweet Linda Divine with a propulsive bassline from McCoy Tyner that seems like a significant step forward in the jazz-sampling era of hip-hop. Widely quoted, referenced and even covered in music ever since, this is a classic that punches well above it's weight.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"02- Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56731747058037,"sku":"7119691268576","price":2.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8300\/2485\/files\/3866556-2611673.jpg?v=1770886738","url":"https:\/\/warmvibevinyls.com\/products\/blacksheep-the-choice-is-yours-7","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
