    This is a track that I completly forgot till not long ago, when I finally found it on digital (my vinyl copy was starting to ask for mercy and go for a well-deserverd retirement):

    "“….Can you tell me where is coming from?
    won’t take much longer,
    It’s getting stronger, you feel it’s real
    Unless your mind is out of time
    Take what you need
    Your spirit’s free,
    Believe!!!…..”

    The year is 1981, and is on a New York Dance label. Name the Track and Artist???

    Had no idea that was going to be a tough one!!!!
    Hint:
    -The band recorded for Prelude
    -The track has the same name of the album (but was never officially released as single, but I remember Prelude white labelled Promo copies to promote the Album with "NSB Radio" on the B-side.

    Born2Disco, surely you can see my pecs, I'll let you have a full list of the magazines where I feature as "centrefold"!!!!
    Ricardo, Lax is a good guess, but not the right one, I'm afraid!!

    HINT: The band was signed for Prelude, but it was a British band

    HINT #2 Their first single name contain the word "Park", their second :"Jazz".
    What you want more than this???????

    Is this LP available anywhere Dancer? I'd certainly love to get a copy. I always loved the Nick Straker Band but never actually bought much of their stuff. Amazing, considering theyre one of the few UK acts I like!

    Sorry Steely Dan Don't Know Where You Could Get Nick Strakers Band Album From These Days. Maybe Try Local Record Fairs Must Be Loads In Manchester. Maybe The Other Place is http://discomusic.gemm.com :cry: :cry:

    Hey quite two weeks and 219 views after , finally, Dancer (that now has in me a new fan!!!!), solved this. I always thought the "The beat inside" was one of the most obvious and popular track By NSB (apart from "little bit of jazz), but I was wrong.

    In the UK Nick Straker Band's most popular tracks commercially were 'A Walk in The Park' & 'Leaving on the Midnight Train' both from 1980 which I think were before their Prelude material. I dont know how popular these 2 tracks were in the clubs as they were more poppy than the Prelude stuff but they were still good IMO.
