[beatles5445]

just an update - trax reissued this in 2010, and you can buy it on discogs or at your local record store (if they carry house).

[r4bbit5]

I hate to admit it but I passed up a perfect original copy of this a while back at a record store in the Chi for, like, $30. Yeah, I know, I'm retarded.

[DannyKing3000]

Just got this for 24 euro on ebay. Delighted!

[stachemaster]

thumbs up if you play this song while cooking breakfast but sing the lyrics as "Don't you know...it's EGGS AND BACON!!!!"

[fuckingharpsichord]

[phily745]

fookin amazing!!!!damn ragin i was born on 1981,,,,i never got to sample these classics live!!!...tho instead of following dicky 90"s comercial trance as a teen i went with what the bigger lads n lgirls listen to.....pure progressive/tribal house...for example the godfather sasha/okenfold..tenaglia etc...i had style and taste!!!

[dandestructo]

amazing track

[jona4x]

out of curiosity, pulled my copy of this track to see if side a border contained the "to all my supporters" with love ron hardy etching. to my surprise, it does. :) i don't think i ever noticed until now. thanks Chicagowax! to be honest though, as much as i love ron's artistry, i never much cared for this track. always found adrian jett's vocals annoying:(

[Bushwick1]

Ronny.........We Still Dance!

[Mikeswimsalot]

[sansomdela]

[sansomdela]

8/2/10

[Luis1vo]

Joya.

[ranus69]

OMG hearing this brings back such vivid memories of the Muzic Box. Ron used to spin this with another track and he sped it up.

RON I MISS U.

[ryjones1]

Man.........WBMX music is so fucking cool. I like acid house, but listening to WBMX sets from 81-85 has been such an eye opener. House music was so eclectic and all over the map at that time.

[nasteebynature]

Grimey classic Chicago old skool house by the legendary Ron "bang that shit" Hardy!!!!! R.I.P.

[hoodmrmirror]

when i win the lottery this is the first thing im getting

[discodave]

@hoodmrmirror

[wittytee]

@hoodmrmirror buy me one too!!!

[DeejayNally]

@hoodmrmirror  Y, how much is this record worth

[housemanchi]

@DeejayNally Depends on which one cause it was also pressed on white and red vinyl(limited pressings!) the red vinyl pressings are the rarest.

[champsy2108]

@hoodmrmirror

cheapest copy on discogs is 37.12 dollars... red and white one, by the way...

[housemanchi]

@champsy2108 Sorry no red vinyl copies available on discogs, there are only 2 white vinyl copies for sale. Both sellers are asking well over 100 dollars! I have doubles on black vinyl,white vinyl,and red vinyl. I'm talking about the actual vinyl not the labels.

[champsy2108]

@housemanchi

Ah I see, wanna sell one? he he :-)

[skecr8r]

I don't mind my NM copy of this :-)

[JOHNNYJAMS08]

I just check Discogs and this record starts at $100 and goes up to $6964 for an autographed copy! WOW!!!!

[houseofjrk]

Iused to bump the bass out this shit and flip back and forth with the acapella version then flip on beat 119

[rozzr]

awesome, thanks for sharing this!

[schranzelina]

thx for posting, reminds me good ol' days

5/5

[COwens]

Top tune.

Forgive my ignorance, but did Trax have anything to do with Wax Trax Records (Ministry, Revolting Cocks) in Chicago?

[theheavenseventies]

not that i know of, no. just one of those coincidences.

[vincelavalle]

Trax had nothing to do with Wax Trax. Wax Trax was an alternative label where Trax (on 38th Street west of Halsted) was stricylt Chicago House and plenty of bootlegs

[kristopolous]

. R . A . W . :-)

[19Osiris71]

Rare indeed! Takes me back to when I first got into House in late '85. Great post.

[scorpiostrikes]

RON HARDY is the true Godfather of House Music. We love you Ronnie!!! Shit I got 2 copies of Sensation on White Vinyl. I'm never gonna part with them. It is the only headliner track of Ron released. He also teamed up with Adonis and did "Work The Box" under the alias Santos.

[daneby1]

man thats wright i didnt even realise that k alexi slowed it right down on his track

[RealFreshBlog]

Has to be one of the best Chicago House piano jamz...ever!! And those vocals? Just superb! K-Alexi Shelby sampled the vocals on this for his 'Don't You Know ' track on Stride Records, 1987.

Thanks again Gary for the post!
