Freddy Fresh brings us the companion to his handy Sampling Dictionary reference guide, once again with no frills, just the facts ma'am. Whereas the Sampling Dictionary listed its entries by sampling artist, the Re:Sampling Dictionary gives it to you in reverse, using the format "Sampled Artist / Sampled Track / Artist's Name / Track Title." (For example, "Luther Ingram / "To The Other Man" / Ghostface Killah / "Whip You With A Strap.") The book is layed out in clean, easy-to-read columns, and covers everyone from Booker T. & The MGs to Cake, O.C. Smith to the Osmonds. Softcover, 250+ pages (with over 15 pages for James Brown alone!).
