I'm sure we all have one or two favorite tracks that absolutely undeniably bombed big time upon release. What are your favorites?
(I thought this might be interesting because what didn't do well in one part of the world might have been huge elsewhere.)
I like:
Bonnie Pointer -- The Beast In Me
Taxxi -- Still In Love
My favourite "non hit" Hinrg tracks are probably -

LOVE IS AN ISLAND - CLAUDJA BARRY
Reaching for the best by the New Exciters.
I love a Canadian release by Baiser called Summer Breeze.Love the diva vocal on it
I loved this too , I didn't think anyone else remembered it,strandgely enough It got played at the odd northern soul event back in the day. I never really figured it as Hi nrg, great record thoughOriginally Written by monty69
Never heard this particular trackOriginally Written by straight acting
I would also vote for "Don't Bother To Knock", although i don't remember Simone's version of "Him" being particularly popular, and I loved it!!!
Klatch - 'God save the queers' Fab track that samples Bobby O 'She has a way'.
San - Show me
Time - Shaker shake
Baisier 'Summer Breeze' was a bit of a hit in the soul clubs in the UK.
Oh gee! Shaker Shake is a very nice song. It was heavily played in Japan in early 80s. :D But don't know God Save The Queers and Show Me...I wounder if it is like Shaker Shake??Originally Written by Davicillo
The Klatch track was availible on a cd called Rush Hour 3 on the React label that normally put out loads of techno.
Cat no; REACTCD48.
Try and get it. It's FAB.
The San track was Belgian and produced by Fonny De Wulf.

I always loved this track. I've got a copy with a PWL mix on one side which is also good. I never thought of it as hi-nrg really, it's too slow. I can see it has gay appeal as it falls into the 'pretty music' category I feel.
It has straight appeal too! :lol: :lol: :lol:Originally Written by SandraDee
Sorry. I forgot there are some straight people out there who are aware of our fabulous gay 'secret' of gorgeous dance music!![]()
To be honest I think there is only me, does that make me " The only straight in the village"?? :D :D :D :DOriginally Written by SandraDee
