Vinylvixen Posted October 3 Posted October 3 Rare Pleasure are best remembered for their 1976 disco classic ‘Let Me Down Easy’ on Cheri Records 12”. However, a follow up remained elusive and their 1977 ‘Superfine Feeling’ only ever saw the light of day as a horribly rare Frankford/Wayne Mastering Labs acetate running at 10:45 and costing over £400 if you were ever able to track one down. The release has been licensed through Good Time Inc. Licensing. This is a legitimate first time UK release. Comes in white inner sleeve and outer cardboard Ramrock Retro stock bag. Dinked centre. Available for the very reasonable price of £5.00 from Ramrock's Bandcamp site: https://ramrock.bandcamp.com/album/rret003-rare-pleasure-superfine-feeling-pts-1-2 In 2020, Dance Music don, Ashley Beedle was approached to edit the unreleased track which had a UK 12” vinyl release in 2021 on Spencer Broughton’s As and Bees label. Having heard the track in all its glory, Ramrock Boss, Jo Wallace immediately thought that a 7” edit would sound like a Blackpool Mecca classic that never existed! And so, the editing process began again and, this time, the North Street Collective of Ashley Beedle, Darren Morris and Jo Wallace came up with ‘Superfine Feeling’ 7” Edit and in the true tradition of soul tracks, named them Pt1 & Pt2. An exuberant, uplifting, Mecca Soul unreleased monster finally receiving the talcumed dancefloor love it deserves 44 years later! Once they're gone, they're gone. Jo xx
