  • It's awesome 3 I was there this night we was told it was going to be the video to the song so we went for it

  • @madashell1200 when someone is hard up means there Skint other words got no money

  • I've heard this saying in a few places. What does it mean when someone is hard up?

  • LOL after 23 years of searching yes i kept it in mind this was the track i only remembered that nice tune and something with awesome thx m8 for uploading ;)))

  • Awesome 3 indeed, heard it at Shelleys on a white vinyl and had to ask one of the boys on the decks (think it was an Amnesia night) - bought it the day it came out and played it to death through a Mission Cyrus system costing £2k back then....the neighbours must have loved me.

  • Any 1 rember when awesome 3 did the first shoot for the video for this tune at the Plesuredome in farnworth the thursdays night with dj kenny from spinn in records back in june of 1990 :)

  • slamming hell out of the old octapds.

  • Jesus, he must be melting in that coat...

  • After a bit of looking it does appear this was by "Second Chance" and not "Awesome 3". I can't find it in their track listings, but it is in Second Chances. :-S

  • @AndyLeesES

    Well I don't know about that, but I only have the Awesome 3 version on vinyl so I can't compare. But if you open the images at Discogs on "Second Chance - Hard Up" you'll find out that "Redone by Frank DeWulf" is printed on the cover of Second Chances record.

  • @oldschooltechno

    I'm not arguing the toss my good man. You put the tune up!! I'm with you. I've just been trying to find it for a long time, and "Awesome 3 - Hard Up" brings me disappointing results. Then again, if we look at 0.02 either me or MTV is a bit misguided. Great upload. And the only one with a video

  • @AndyLeesES jeez guys, this whole culture was based around 'borrowing bits and pieces of other people's music- don't be so anal! It's good and that's all that maters.....

  • what a tune this tune has everything build ups the lot to say they dont make tunes like this anymore is an understatement big tune not like the rushed out shite made these days keep it old keep it oldskool

  • Just gimme this, Hardcore Uproar and a fucking whistle !

  • excellent pads and oldschool tune, love it!.)

  • tune from 1:50 is awsome 3 - hard up,classic ;)

  • 0:28 to 0:52 sounds a bit like Assault on precinct 13 soundtrack

  • @angelrangel91

    Maybe 'cos it was sampled for this track :)

  • This is one of the awesome tracks of 91 still got my vinyl, However the problem with this video is the track is all about the intro build-up which is sadly missing on this video

  • Newall Green Wythenshawe at its very best.Rave On lads....

  • The guy at 1.58 - Great days

  • this is by second chance aint it....not awesome 3

  • @choonz2000

  • This tune has changed my life

  • Filmed on a Thursday night at pleasure dome in farnworth bolton imagine what saturday was like the police closed it down shortly after and it moved to bowlers in Trafford park

  • @1eyrey

    From an era when Clubbing was actually good, and Nightclubs actually played Dance instead of mainstream Pop and RnB.

    You go in a club nowadays and it's like listening to the radio.

    Like you say, look at the place for a Thursday night!!! Don't see that level at weekends any more

  • The melody is John Carpenter's theme from Assault on Precinct 13. Did they pay him any royalties ?

  • Don't know but wonder if they didn't as it's not a secret. It's been printed out on most of the vinyl centers.

  • yep and bomb da bass improved it 13 years on or so :)

  • look at the people, wow!...than look at the stupid faces in the clubs nowerdays...

  • in Poland its the same, back there pplz just was going to clubs 4 fun, dance and forget bouth whole world. Now its diferent, ppl are showingoff, posing, and doing many diferent dumb things. No 1 is raving like 15 years ago...

  • I wish i could rewind back to those days!!

  • @westbam123 let's rewind!!!!!!

  • never heard before. but this was style of my good times in the early 90...to good to be true...

  • such a great tune ! I miss that time!

  • i am asking:who the hell makes from MTV from the best music channel ever in this shit nowdays & why?for money or for what?

  • MTV would say it's logical progression,i say M is for music so play music, instead of pathetic reality shows. Blooming hell that non entity Kerry Katona has a show on there now. I just hope that in a couple years the Reality TV bubble will burst, as it will and MTV will get back to playing music.

  • Mtv's on the mainstream train now. Capitalist sell outs.

  • man im born in the wrong fucking decade.. wish i was older for the first time in my life!

  • u r born in fuckin decade for real...MTV was MTV,music was not commercial shitz,this is REAL Dance music...Now MTV is "Just See(or not see as well)mtv"& britney's time...BLAAAHH...THIS IS THE REAL MUSIC.Now-shit(sponsored by Viacom & MTV)!
