rare sh*, pt. 1

Can we speak of such a thing as rare mp3 files?
For something which is so easily duplicated, isn't that a contradiction in terms?
However, these are some files that I found being only very temporarily available at the various places I found them... The internet is often not only about being in the right place - it's ever so often also about being in the right place at the right time.
So, for a limited period only, here goes:

Omar: It's So
Sought-after also as a (promo 12") record, this is London style broken soul at its best!
Sunshine Anderson: Heard It All Before (Quantic Soul Orchestra remix)
Great tune, a real classic - here in an unbeatable, live sounding funk version by QSO. Hard to find on vinyl these days, and a bit tricky to find even online...
Amerie: 1 Thing (Siik remix)
The Siik remix is siiick! This guy made this brilliant remix but only posted it for a short while on the wonderfully eclectic step off the frankfurter.
