I'm not being argumentative for the sake of it but it just doesn't sound anything like what was being done in America in that era to me. Sounds more like a pastiche 'northern' record of the kind Ian Levine does. And then the lyrics 'cream of the crop' / 'reaching for the top' 'on the real side'.... I'm not convinced... I've played it a few times , disco or soul not sure ,but the name of the band "House Bros " house music was popular 84ish maybe a little bit later , strange 1979 band name ? or am I just edging my bets it's possibly later

Gibson brothers, I'm pretty familiar when their stuff, ' oh what a life, probably the closest, but still way, way off the house brothers imho Sorry, you are correct I did infact mension the wrong track, however it's all cut from the same cloth of europop/ dodgy disco nonsense, which in due cause partially morphed to hi-energy.

The recent mix still unsure

December 2, 20222 yr New single from Carmy Love on Big AC out now digitally, with 45 to follow soon I think. Quality retro soul and what a voice!…
December 2, 20222 yr Sounds great, Carmy Love has a wonderful voice, she really is a great singer, she kind of reminds me of Sharon Jones. But I have to say, they need to do better than this, I guessed where this track was going in the opening 20 seconds, and although there are one, two very nice changes in there, I wasnt suprised by the time I got to the end of the song, it sounds like a polished work out to my ears. It's the song writing that’s letting them down, and the tempo is just to predictable. That’s an honest appraisal, I like the track, but I would not spend money to get it on 45...

Got to agree with most of that Mal. The rhythm was kind of a nod to the early 60's R&b influence. Great voice , wrong song choice.
December 3, 20222 yr Cool record, reminds me of Swing Out Sister, which in my book is a high accolade 🙂

Is it the red wine getting the better of my senses ? but it does have a sound of a certain other Mr Levine style of production,,,,

Maybe he's getting better at it , lots of drum rolls etc , just a thought, a bit of everything even a little "Heartache Avenue " no , try a bottle of Montepulciano D'Abruzzo , it sounds very near lol
