This website thing is really working out. A PartyEnds friend/little bird from the internet (codename: Terry Sweeney) has passed along the World Wide Web premiere of a DJ Shadow remix of the Rolling Stones classic “I’m Free.” The remix was originally done for a Chase Bank commercial by DJ shadow but the suits turned it down. Something tells me that banks can pay people (DJs for instance) an ungodly amount of money to tweak songs that they also paid an ungodly amount of money to secure the rights for. I am sure that he wasn’t crushed. They ended up using a different version of the song for their 2007 ad campaign but never Shadow’s.
This gem has never seen the light of day and has just been sitting around collecting digital dust until now. The track has some pretty dope scratching on it and is a nice reinterpretation of the ageless cut that came out in 1965 as a B-Side for Get off of My Cloud.
