Doug E. Fresh - "I-ight" Remix Promo 12"

This was acquired around the time I first started getting on record mailing lists (those were the days!!!). I was in NYC visiting a few labels at the time with OG D.C. street promoter Duk-ki Yu. While in the Gee-Street offices, I noticed in their steel cabinet where they kept some of their promo 12"s for mailing out, there were 2 copies left of this 12". Now what's special about this one was it had the 'All-star' remix with the 'Eric B. for President' beat. This 12" was a very limited promo-only pressing that was super tough to get. I was able to secure 1 copy and boy was I syced! This joint is a classic and has rocked many parties from back then 'til now. Most cats had to buy the bootleg cause u couldn't get this from the record stores. Many DJs had the green eye of envy when I would pull this out on the set. In my Doug E. Fresh voice...."Aaaaaaaaa....Yooooooo.....Iiiiiiiiiight"!!!!!!!!!!!!
