Was in River Island today , and was about to leave when a record came on the in house system with the same backing track as Bobby Reed " The time is right for love " [ cue 50+ bloke stunned and staring into space , thinking have I died and gone to heaven ? ] Anyone know what it is , not saying it's brilliant , but that backing track is used throughout the record ......Best,Eddie

There is a new version by Gizella & Mighty Mocambos on Soul Seed. Could be that.

I was in the Banbury branch Wrighty , and it was on sunday .Think most of these stores have their music sent in on a main server , not like when I worked in Next and you had to keep changing the cassette ....Best wishes ,Eddie
