    Is this the only??

    Is this the only Hi NRg Forum on the web?? I've searched and cannot find any other. It's a blessing though, because until I found this site I thought I was the only person on the plabnet who still loved Hi Nrg

    Thankyou very much - real nice of you to say that
    It is just great to come on and be in the company of fellow HINRG fans who appreciate the genre. I have also made some good friends on here !!

    Did that have anything to do with Morgan Khan's Streetsounds empire in the 80s? As well as the fab compilations he put out, there was a Streetsounds magazine in which Ian Levine wrote the hi-nrg section. Another contributor to that mag, Damon Rochefort, I notice now writes for Coronation Street!!! :o

    Those STREETSOUNDS Lps go for mega bucks on e-bay. Seen some in VOX POP records as well.. That label released some top quality stuff... Damon Rochefort was the guy behind that group NOMAD (i think ?) - Vocals by Sharon Dee Clarke... Think the song that hit the charts was "Wanna give you devotion" ?!

    That's right Neil; Nomad did a few others too - Just a Groove, Your Love Is Lifting Me & a cover of 24 Hours a Day! Damon also co-wrote Sharon Dee Clarke's 'Dance Your Way Out Of The Door'. A busy gent!

    I remember that cover of 24hrs a day being radio 1 record of the week but it did pretty poorly in the pop charts...

    Yes & I'm very grateful for the Canadian remix of Sharon Redd's 'In The Name Of Love' that energyguy kindly leant to me along with other fab tracks by Raquel Welch, Vivien Vee & Mandy Smith. You're a star!

    How does the Canadian remix of In The Name of Love differ? I bought one labelled US Remix put out by Prelude here in the UK when it came out all those years ago which is very slightly different (and had the excellent instrumental version on the B side) and would love to know of other mixes.

    The Canadian Remix is by Greg Silva I think and runs at 7.21.
    The original 12" runs at 6.30.
    The Disconet remix runs at around 10.41.
    The hot tracks remix is very similar to the Canadian one.

    Throw in all the remixes of 'Can you handle it' and 'Beat the street' and you have total confusion. :lol:

    perhaps we all need to join some kind of anonymous "vinyl addicts" clinic - I can see a channel 4 documentary on the horizon...... :lol: :lol:

    Oh yeah - with Marsha Raven's - I Like Plastic as the theme tune!! ;)

    So far this week, I've tracked down Tapps - My Forbidden Lover, had x6 12"s mailed to me, am waiting on 2 more to pop through the letterbox (better not - too small) and two auctions to close. :)
