I’ve got that one too. Found in a charity shop many years ago.
It’s also a b-side of some releases of Electric Avenue.

sorry if this has already been posted: a recent cheapo find that has become a huge favourite of mine. it’s the flute that really sends it over the edge for me, sooo nice! subtle bit of vocoder use in the middle eight too

Bob Morgan & Steppin’ Out - Marguerite

Was used briefly as the gallery music in Take Hart. Sounds like a cross between Woo and Scritti Politti
