20th Century Steel Band – Warm Heart Cold Steel 1975 (United Artists Records)
Value :
The 20th Century Steel Band has its humble beginnings as a working
band on the Baileys Circuit, however 1975 saw the band record and
release their debut album Warm Heart, Cold Steel. This would prove to be
a landmark album, featuring the track Heaven & Hell is on Earth
which would go on to be an infamous addition to the world of sampling,
long after the group disbanded following the dissolution of their record
label, United Artists. Heaven & Hell is on Earth has been a firm
favourite since its release as a sample in 1986. The Stop the Violence
movement were the first, but by no means last to sample for the track
Self Destruction of which all proceeds went to the National Urban
League. Having become a regular on the sampling circuit, the track has
been used by artists such as Salt-N-Pepa, Xzibit, Anonymous (ft Eminem),
the Black Eyed Peas on their debut album Behind the Front, The Jungle
Brothers and LL Cool J (Featuring in the film Take the Lead, starring
Antonio Banderas). Perhaps the most famous of all tracks to sample
Heaven & Hell is on Earth is Jenny from the Block by Jennifer Lopez
(This is me Then).
