I personally don't get it but I'm sure a lot do. The music is OK but where does it fit in with the canon? Wondering what the esteemed collectives' thoughts are on this kind of stuff?

Sound bites and opinions invited!

I was lucky enough to get the last year of Stafford and was introduced to the Latin sounds that were big at that time , Spanish Maiden , Bobby Valentin , etc and more importantly the above which was a big tune mid eighties tune in Scotland on the scene 

I haven’t known anything else as for me they have been around on the scene as long as I have ! However I can imagine the Wigan crowd at that time walking off the dance floors in droves !!! 

But I guess that is why the scene is so forward thinking and diverse with dj’s taking the risk and seeing the dance floor reaction , don’t get me wrong there’s still a lot of dross played out there !!

This is wicked .

I've wanted a copy of this for absolutely ages but whenever it appears for sale it's way too overpriced for me.

Did a mix of a load of it....love it but i don't like it at soul nights if that makes sense. I am really into the heavier stuff....descargas/mambos etc

Any of these are a much welcome change to endless repeats of Marlena Shaw  Lets Wade in the Water

Loved this for ages but someone in Mexico seems to be buying them up and charging enough to fund a small army.
