Ian Dewhirst Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) OK, it's not 100mph Northern Soul but it is one of the greatest Soul records ever put to plastic and Valentine's Day is coming up so we can get away with a slowie when it's as good as this! Yep, we just launched the Backbeats Facebook Page and we're delighted to have the opportunity to offer everyone the brilliant "I Choose You" by Paris as a free download on Valentine's weekend! Quite simply one of the greatest records ever made and our heartfelt thanks go to the owners of the Chi-Sound catalogue for their generosity in clearing such a timeless classic as part of the promotion for the Backbeats series. Go to..... https://www.facebook....17791178?ref=ts Join up and then go to the download page and hit the link. Download it and play it to your loved ones for the rest of your life. I wasn't gonna even post here because I was scaried of shameless self-promotion accusations but there's some interesting stuff afoot with Holland/Dozier/Holland, Invictus/Hot Wax/Music Merchant and the Gold Forever Publishing catalogue, so it'll be worth being plugged in I reckon! So join up. Ian D PS Mike and the Mods - If you need to shift to the appropriate area then please go ahead. I wasn't sure where to post..... Edited February 13, 2010 by Ian Dewhirst

I remember the funky MAW - Kenny Dope and Louie Vega mixes on your label from about 94 - Very spaced out indeed. I also remember the chemistry logo with the bubbles. Very Cool ! I am going back early 90s but Ive deffo still got the CD somewhere. Edited February 13, 2010 by mossy

Ian, for those of us not on faceback, what record are you taking about?
Guest Nick Harrison Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) Ian, for those of us not on faceback, what record are you taking about? Not as straight forward as it seems - Dave..................assuming it is Paris - "I Choose You", which previously surfaced as a US indie and back in 84 was released by Bluebird in the UK, 12 only ? But confusion rained back then about the artists I.D. First it was Harri Paris of "You Hit My Love", then Paris Holley "10", some even claimed it was Fred Paris. Then a source at a new record shop, with a well established background and sponsor on Corporation Street, Manchester informed us all later that -Holley and Harri was the same Paris (artist). . No wonder Ken wants to tw@t his original copy. But thanks Ian for providing this upload or download. Cheers. Edited February 15, 2010 by Nick Harrison
