I was going to post this. It’s from this Swemix record.

I discovered this after the Electra record but thought it was the inspiration, could be wrong though.

Ah cool. Yeah seems to be the same guy. Seems like that’s the original inspiration.
I guess it just got booted somewhere along the way with the Red Box track on the flip.

Yeah that’s the one I had. Nancy is on that red box record.

. It really is a bizarre record, and I’m guessing that’s what makes it a true balearic classic.
I remember the night John Peel played them.

Got a Tim Sheridan mix tape with this on, tune.
They still sound great, basically birthed Coldcut as well I think.

Forgot I had that. Bftp.
And through the wonders of the internet you still can
In our house, the rules of John Peel say you have to take the rough with the smooth and no skipping the ones you don’t like, cos you never know what you will hear.
Edit: not sure what’s going on with the links there, that was meant to be archive.org who have literally hundreds of his shows available.

Can’t see a clip of it but definitely a mashup of these two classics. Released in 1985.
Half remember DK either denying this was him or saying he couldnt remember it but it came out on TD pre Zoom
Massive upstairs at Venus, I got a copy for 50 in a John Menzies sale

no idea how popular this was way back when it first came out, but it’s from 1994 and comes with the orb in the mix, so pretty balearic…
heavy stuff. one for the balearic reggae thread too.
