THE CARTERS’s “BLACK EFFECT” (2018) is built on Flower Travellin' Band’s “Broken Strings” (1973) — a sample that travelled 45 years to get there. In SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE we spin the original and ask you to name the hit that flipped it. This one lives in the expert crate, worth 3 points in party mode.
