BigTime Bass, True Bass, Big tune in my Youth, this is a Real Trip down memory lane, back to times when I had 4 x 18" Inch Dedicated Bass Units with their own built in Amps (that I built into them) The house was seriously rocking back then...☺/
Thanks for posting-Brings me right back from America to the Silwood Estate 70's/80's-These tunes bring back SO many memories-I never thought I'd find them again xoxo
Yup growing up in London Greenwich, New Cross, Brixton, Camberwell, Bush, Clapham, Streatham.....Memories!!! These were the days that dance was dance!!
We need to play all the old tunes out loud and change the energy of the planet back to what it used to be when these tunes were coming out........Man what I would give to be able to do that.
If I ever manage....I gonna invite everyone here to one big big big big big oldschool style........Enjoy your tunes people, Love & peace :):):)
Love the Song, HATE THE bloody annoying wannabee dancing along. It gives the song a horrible Chavvy vibe. This is lover's Rock, not Catford High Street!xx
@4747jose yh i remember All Nations tht was me an my cousin's fav hangout we didnt leave tht place until they sent us home lol then crossed the road for a kebab was nice 2
@Bornintense i luv all Sandra Cross tunes lovers rock was mainly what i listened to when i was younger i just could'nt get enough of it, cant remember Mr Jay but it will come to me eventually
love this tune brapp, lol she's playing fridays in manchester at the end of april nuff people love carol she is a legend xx grown up with her all me life peace
yea man i play from ska to lovers rock in the house and car,i was born and raised in clapham until i left for jamaica, and let me tell you something the dancehall scene is totally fuckrey, preching war and violence
@markdavis1609 Yeah Mark the loversrock scene around south west London was awesome wasn't it.
Remember the blues clubs, It didn't matter what colour skin you were everybody just danced. The streets of Battersea, Clapham, and Wandsworth rang out to all the awesome songs that were around back then
@HAPPYxGEORGE yes george,them were the best days of my life,no predudice,proper dressing peace and love and all parties,girls looking great fantastic music still playing today,we got to keep spreading the music far and wide,
WOW I have loved this song since way back, thought i would check out youtube to try and find some lovers rock tunes, what a great time i am having. Remember that feeling of first love mmmmmmm comes back to me now after listening. Its great to hear my son 17 playing lovers rock too. Thanks for the flash back merrydown. It gave me goose pimpels......
So love this album and this song...also janet kay..jean adebambo...brings back so many memories...going to all dayers...100 club....cheeky petes at richmond...skating at battersea park..lol...how time flies...
i heard its on a 1st thursday is it called the Lovers Lounge or the Lovers Rock Lounge? I saw her perform at a gig in jazz cafe peeps were crying star!
Just to let you all know that Carol Thompson Hosts a night every 1st Wednesday of month(I think-check details) at a venue Just behind Selfridges London. She is so luvly and really down to earth. True Lovers Rock Lovers Nite. Check it out..Peace...
my friend and i used to harmonise this all day long at school! lol
you just cant get back this vibe and this era anymore...what happened?
i cant find anyone who appreciates lovers rock except on here! people think im crazy when i say i love lovers rock, dennis brown and frankie paul etc....someone back me up!!
I'll back you up love lol im only 24 but i love these tunes if i went bak to these times i wouldnt even be a twinkle in my mums eye lol its thanks to her that i know this type of good music....jus got to love for dat
@BornIntense i do agree with u lovers rock will never die me an my friends used to sing to all the oldies bac in the gd old days brings bac gd memories for me luv it
@sisterfoxy what about "its you" by Sandra cross? aint that lovely? who remembers; "Mr Jaaayaaayaaay...Oh you look so sweeeet sweeet.." ? cant remember the title or the singer!! :(
We owe so much to these uk artist back in the day. A time when we couldnt get enough of uk lovers rock and your record collection had to have carol thomson. Not a drunk in sight!
Carol Thompson, Janet Kay, Audrie Hall...queens of lovers rock. Lovers was invented in the UK, was,nt too may females signers in JA at the time. Try see the 70's film 'Burning an Illusion' set in the super racist times of London. Will see Carol acting in that.I still see her around today.
Lol, That's not true at All!!I'm Only A Teenager, But This Song Just Makes Me Wish I Lived Then Sooooooo Much..It's Just So Suttle & Peaceful..I Just Close My Eyes And Let It Guide Me To Another World Without All this Violence & Bitterness..Where The Vybes Are Just Cool..=)
This is the 12'' isn't as its a different version to the LP???
Great tune.........memories, Carol Thompson. Janet Kay, Susan Cadogan/Ruddy Thomas, Hortense Elliot, Honey Boy..........all the sounds at parties here in Birmingham
EVERYBODY SHOULD CHECK OUT EBAY SELLER CALLED RADDIX,HE IS SELLING CDs OF OLD LOVERS MIXES FROM THE 70s/80s.THIS FEATURES ALONG WITH LOUISE MARKS,JANET KAY ETC.SUPERB MIXES. LONG LIVE REGGAE,ONE LOVE
Oh my god, I haven't heard this in years and years. I remember my friend's brother a very large record collection and lovers rock played a huge part of the collection.
I love this tune and you having it has rekindled many found memories by the score. Nice one for posting this tune. Was the year 1981? Thanks man.
the biggest shame about this was that carol never did anything as good as this again,i think she was about 15 went this came out,but definately a classic lover's track.
