Really incredible 7". I actually like the B-side ("Breakthrough") even more and it's a Funkees release that very rarely ever gets talked about.

Does it actually have a pic sleeve? The copy I have was a plain one.

No picture sleeve on this one, the copy we found had standard EMI NIgeria blue sleeve

Excellent track... In addition, as saying by O-Dub, the flip side is excellent too : "Breakthrough" an other cover of Atomic Rooster (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4X5e...). This music is use in France as the end music of "La Grande Librairie" TV program.

Grant Phabao presents The Lone Ranger - The Iphone Connection

Grant Phabao The Lone Ranger The Iphone Connection

The iPhone Connection song is a tribute to the co-founder and CEO of Apple who lost his battle with pancreatic cancer this summer. It was recorded at Paris DJs studios just a few days before Steve Jobs passed away. Jamaican DJ The Lone Ranger is on vocal duties with French dubmeister Grant Phabao at the controls & playing all instruments. The Lone Ranger is one of Jamaica's most influential early dancehall DJs. He was twice voted N°1 deejay on the island, in 1979 and 1980. He helped pioneer a newly rhythmic, on-the-beat rhyming style that led DJ toasting into the modern age, and punctuated his lyrics with bizarre exclamations and sound effects ("bim" and "ribbit" were his favorites) that made him perhaps the most imaginative stylist of his time. He had originally recorded The Walkman Connection way back in 1984 (on "DJ Daddy" / Techniques), now fully updated to 2011 as The Iphone Connection !
