"Ambassadors of Funk "Super Mario Land" 12" Single

Rough Trade Germany/Living Beat Records, 1992. "Super Mario Land" hit number 8 on the UK charts, according to Wikipedia. Which charts those were, we may never know. The song is a reworking of Hirokazu 'Hip' Tanaka's theme for the GameBoy game, which has been stuck in my head for 20 years. Heck, he also did Metroid, Duck Hunt and Kid Icarus--the man's the John Lennon of videogames (Koji Kondo is Paul). PS. There was a video!
