I love 'These Things Happen' by Viola/My Friend Sam. It had more of a house feel than hi-nrg I felt which gave it an exciting sound as house was quite fresh & exciting then - not like now!

3) Boogie Woogie Dancing Shoes (remix) - Claudja Barry (German 12")
4) Honey Bee - Charlotte mcKinnon (UK Blu Moon 12")
5) Car Wash - carol Jiani (Karisma 12")

Can you elaborate on the Claudja Barry remix? Is it much different than the original 7:52 LP cut? Any idea of the date of that mix? How did you like it?

Is that Honey Bee a cover of the Gloria Gaynor tune?
Did Carol Jiani do a cover of the Rose Royce song?
What did you think of these records?

Hello
I will get back to you on the CB remix.. not listened to it yet.
Yes - Ms. Jiani did a cover of the Rose Royce track in 1989 - very hard to find nowadays.. luckily I managed to get hold of a copy from a good pal on here
Cant say about the HONEY BEE track - did not know Gloria Gaynor had done a track called HONEY BEE. The version by Charlotte Mckinnon was released on BLUE MOON records in the UK in 1988, It was remixed by Ian Levine.

Yes the CHARLOTTE McKINNON track is a cover of GLORIA's.
The original US mix was half-way between Freestyle & HiNRG.

Oh was she ; that must have been before joining COMPANY B.

It always made me smile that she was an unofficial member of the group but she did sing lead on FASCINATED and JAM ON ME...

2 of their greatest hits.

Ohh nice bit of info ...didn't know that! I've had a bit of a revival at home recently for 'Fascinated'. Still sounds great.


My most recent purchases have been..well the ones that have any meaning here anyway !

Amy Winehouse 'Back To Black' What a fantastic album. Not often I buy single artist albums and this has totally blown me away. I love it.

Electric Dolls -Doctor Love- Jam 7" - From 1973...the original version of the song?

Chuck Cissell album 'Just For You' for the track 'Don't Tell Me You're Sorry'

Ben E. King - 'Happiness Is Where You Find It' - Atlantic 7"

Joy Fleming - 'Are You Ready For Love' -Private Stock 7"...didnt realise til now that this is a different version to the Atlantic one !

Linda Carr- 'Baby Are You Putting Me On' - DCP 7" early Linda cut and dissapointing.

The Dynamic Upsetters 'I Want A Man To Shag With Me' - CPI 7" cult Beach music Classic
