A MASSIVE record long before the young Adam and Oddfellows, folks! :)

Correct Sean - Prayin was a well played track from both the 45 and the LP, throughout 1980 and 1981. Re released later by source through Island Music in the UK during 1986 and even a re edited 1988 remix appeared.

Championed to great heights during the mid eighties, making many very unaware of it previous earlier release history.

Also another 2 America 45 Promo copies were also circulated from The Blue Album (1980), which was a shorter version of the Sharon Paige "Tonight's The Night" and Harold's "I Should Be Your Lover",

Thanks.

Actually it was EMI that re-released it in '86 and it was me that did the remix and supplied the acappella for the first time. We'd re-released Chuck Brown's "Busting Loose" when the Go-Go stuff started taking off and I couldn't resist putting out "Prayin" again 'cos EMI still had the rights to Source back then........

Always been a cracking record for me!

Not bad for a House record :shhh:

Can we drop the petty arguments and comments. Talk about the record. Any other crap take it to PM's.

It is getting tiresome and boring opening topics just to read petty rubbish between some members.

I don't want to have to keep reading stuff like this and I am sure others don't.
