  • @blakjokah lol i wulda said 9th wonder

  • Wow. Classic GEM!

  • OMG - I have not heard this for TWO decades - amazing and timeless - someone will freak out to this in 50 years time and shout OMG too - well lets hope so !

  • oohh nice one......class

  • DJ Colin Curtis used to play this record a lot at funk venues in the North C.1981 - a kind of early "rare groove" spin. I think it was widely overlooked at the time of it's initial release, though he may have had it since then. Trust Colin to pick a real gem!

    Several months later sealed batches of them appeared in high street HMV shops (of all places), for £1.99, but they quickly disappeared. (I used to have two!)

    Unfortunately this is easily the best track - but what a track!

  • by the time of Colin's sessions with Hewan Clark at the Berlin Club in Manchester 1982/86 this had become the anthem of the Rainy City and further ; the rest of the album was pretty dire though . Along with Jerry Bell and Jimmy Cobb this certainly was a time and a place !!

  • Nice post. Haven't heard this in about 20 years. Used to listen to Radio Luxembourg through my pillow - long after my parents thought I was asleep - for this kind of music.

    Thanks.

  • I did exactly the same in boarding school, but the radiosignal was real bad at times, like a flangersound, coming and going...

  • that song brings really good memories back!!!

  • Always good to listen to your voice-takes me back to those days on Willard Street!

  • Im lucky enough to own this on vinyl and cd ...... superb track and it should be known to a far wider audience

  • You have superb taste in music !!! This is my first time hearing this and I love it !!!

  • Who's the chick on vocals?

  • Comment removed

  • Muito bom !

  • love this, thanks X

  • So sultry. So smooth.

  • This is in my fav;s.Not heard this in years!Thanks

  • good crowd from Glasgow back then . Magical times on the Manchester Black music scene coming off the back of the Mecca/Ritz Northern/New York Disco/Jazz Funk scene . Berlin was like a gathering of great soul people from all over : remember Giles Peterson or his brother trying to cribb off Colin and Hewan for the records they were playing !!!

  • Big for Curtis at Berlin

  • I remember it well - used to regularly travel midweek from Glasgow! (Those were the days....). You'll find I've posted some other Berlin fav's like Booker T Jones etc..........Cheers

  • Me too , but I lived down the road . Other great Manchester Berlin memories for me and you I bet: Jerry Bell "Tell me you'll Stay" ; Jimmy Cobb "So Nobody Else Can Hear"; Walter Jackson " Its Cool"; Duke Pearson "Stormy" ; Janet Lawson "Dindi" ; Art Blakey (cover up) Mission Internal ; Eddie Jefferson "So What"

  • keep the faith mate

  • top tune,they just don't make tunes like this

    makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up

  • GOOD TO HEAR THIS AGAIN... THANKS!!!
