May 15, 200817 yr long time since ive heard this tune another 1 big at the pier S'funny - I don't recall ths one getting played there - but do ya remember how MASSIVE Harvey Mason's 'How's It Feel ' was there? My God - I nearly did meself a severe damage dancing to that one - definitely one of those tracks that just don't do it on the home stereo BUT sound amazing on a 'big' system...ahem well I remember the system @ Morecambe Pier was very tinny - and that's being kind...LOL.... Happy Dayz....Mark Rez

It's a 1980 release and came out as a 7" on GORDY 7185 with "Island Lady" on the flipside. Don't know if theres a US 12" but a UK 12" definitely exists. Both of them are extremely cheap (£2-£5). I think it's a great tune and I always get a good dancefloor reaction when I spin it.
May 15, 200817 yr Mark This was also an LP track appearing on 'Busting Out Of L Seven' Cheers Pat Great, chz Pat - I DO already have it - yahoo!! Made me day boys - now I just need to find the LP - I feel a 'thread proposal' coming on... MRez

May 15, 200817 yr Who cares...? Brilliant record - end of story... MRez Nobody these days .... just adding a point re personal history on this tune.... Great tune like you say.... one of those that would get you out of your chair immediately on hearing the intro at 4.00am when "taking a break" and set you up for the next hour .... Actually.... thinking about it.... not one I've seen about for sale that often....
