The Reflex [2022] - RKIT / WTLDY [Revision Records #REVREC009]

A couple of The Reflex mixes that have been around a few years have just received a release on 12" vinyl (8 Apr 2022). 

The first is Herbie Hancock's "Rockit" ("RKIT") from 1983 coupled with The Isley Brothers' 1973 version of "That Lady" which they originally recorded in 1964 as "Who's That Lady" on United Artists. 

If being pedantic, it should really be titled "TDLY" and not "WTLDY" to avoid confusion as the 70s version is considerably different to the 60s version (included below if you don't know it).
