Wish they’d done more like this!

Mison played this here last night . A modern bally classic. Every element is just perfect.

Came and went in a flash that release versus others they’ve done.

There is “Special Edition”, then beyond that, “Ballache Handful Edition”.

Yes. I missed out.

Balearic Motown?

Either way, incredible track and it blows my mind that you can pick this up for less than a quid - I’ve started buying every copy of this I come across “in the wild” purely to give to people.

Just spent a few hours scrolling this thread and impulse buying a few bits. Totally new to this forum but was inspired to sign up and chuck in a few suggestions…

years and years ago i played love and money’s “candybar express” as it was a big part of that whole 1986 ‘dance rock’ era and i don’t know that i gave them another chance after that. this one’s got me wondering if i need to dig deeper on them, they seem to be more than just giant gated reverb snares.

I don’t know a huge amount about them, but the album that that comes from “Strange Kind Of Love” was produced by Gary Katz, who most likely added a bit of class to their sound

Wham! - Criminally underrated by the Balearic heads if you ask me. Couple of amazing tracks below…

Currently on holiday in Paros (Greece) and this came on the car radio. Had to Shazam it straight away :slight_smile:

If you ever want to wind up a Northern Soul boor, just tell them your favourite Northern cut is the biggest seller in the genre’s history - namely this WHAM! smash.
