apparently only 100 pressed and put out but im no expert on these matters
They've got plenty of copies in the HMV in Oxford St.
Red Kult's Call Me is sort of similar - and better, I reckon. But I can't decide if the vocal sample is Steve Winwood or, god help us, Pete Cetera.
it's stevie winwoods - valerie track

, red cult or whatever shit people these guys are, ripped Thomas Bangalter and Dj falcons promo of Call on Me, before their offical release, (on roule).
I thought it was a Bangalter & Falcon track as well, as DJ Falcon was the first person I ever heard play it, nearly two years ago.
Anyway, here's the true story, from an email sent to Pete Tong from the label releasing it, Data:
Hi Pete,
I thought I would email to explain why we have not sent you the Eric Prydz version of "Valerie" and why there are 5 other version's out there.
We signed Eric Prydz's version a number of months ago, not knowing about this fake Roule rip off. We then found out that Steve Winwood has never cleared sample use before, so up and till now we have been battling to try and clear it. Legally we were not aloud to give out any copies of our version.
Today we had some positive news that Steve Winwood is happy with the idea as long as the deal is right, and potentially ours is the only one that will ever get released.
These are all the rip offs.
Thomas Falcon - Valerie
Thomas bangalter Vs Dj Falcon - Call On Me
Redkult - Call Me
More Phunk - Call On Me
Eric Prydz came up with the idea to sample "Valerie" by Steve Winwood a year and half ago, Eric then gave a ruff demo to DJ Falcon, Falcon started playing this out and people started chatting about it on the Daftpunk website
http://www.daftcrew.fr.st/, then Falcons CD's where stolen this CD came into the hands of some unknown producers in Germany who decided to press this ruff demo by Eric, and called it Thomas bangalter & DJ Falcon - Call on Me, they even used the Roule artwork, this caused massive hype as everyone thought this was the follow up to "So Much Love to give"
Mark Brown is the only DJ who actually has Eric's version, because Eric used to be signed to him.
Steve winwoods lawyers who are Lee & Thompson will be sending Cease and Desist letters to the people responsible for the other version's
I've biked Eric's "Call on Me" to Damian for you.
