[kmason685]

The summer of 1985.... Wow...... Thank you!

[1961CDAVDABREEZER]

I still love this song Man those days .

[kbw1970]

This song actually came out before "Hangin on a String" in 1984 in the UK and in mid 1985 when both songs were pretty much on the charts at the same time in the US and we Loose Ends heads all know how they jumped off after their debut album. It's just sad that after 1990's "Look How Long" they never made another album again. Wow I miss those days!

[XxNOW3RSxX]

[aquarius4real]

loose ends r da shit,beautiful

[fairnorth]

I fell in love with this fantastic song when I first heard this song back in 1985 in a now closed Brooklyn, New York club called "The Arizona Barbara", a.k.a. "Club Arizona". This is a song that I never get tired of. A great masterpiece, performed by Loose Ends ! I wish that they would reunite. I have not heard anybody out there today that can match their great sound !

[bean9seventy]

the rocket science to all this was that battle of the drum machine ,,,,,

and at this moment in time the uk were ahead of the states ,,,,,,,,

the pundits saying that the world was now selling washing powder to the american disco sound ,,,,,,,,,poor excuse ,, because it was a new addition to music ,,, the slightly softer ,

harmony ,, and deeper bass line ,, we all now know ,, was their special groove

[sanceations]

NICENESS

[awordfrommizike]

my loves inside of u i love that part

[COPCUFFS]

this song is a classic. what happened to loose ends?

[justice8526]

i haven't hear this song in a while so sit back relax unwind candles lights bubble baths and stawberrys and cream and i love it.

[jub2003]

choooon !!! the beats , the phrases , the lyrics , This was the sound of the 80's the sound of when music was music by talented artists who never seemed to get into the mainstream charts but kicked ass in the rythym and blues charts , GREAT WORK !!!!!

[gmccall22]

THIS SONG CAME OUT IN 1985

[fastflyer2007]

In the US maybe - 1984 in the UK.

[gmccall22]

understood ! awesome group, props to the UK., for this great track...peace from the US

[troy9johnson]

@fastflyer2007 .IT did come out in the us in 85 on mca,but was already bout in 83,84 on virgin in the uk

[masayuki1214]

mellow madness

[ndearose]

This is my favorite song by this group!!!

[chungone]

Still sounds good... And always will do...

[juleslious]

24 years ago i was head over heels in love..............with this type of music

[trnchsr]

does anyone know where you can get the lyrics for these loose ends songs? or post the lyrics for "choose me?"

[bean9seventy]

nice chords

[kbw1970]

I'll never forget back in 85 when this hit the streets, we were at a campground on the beach and my cousin was bumpin this song in his car and I asked him who it was and he told me and that was the jump off of me being the biggest Loose Ends fan on the planet! Wow I miss those days!

[wparch]

There is a video for this song.. keep looking at the needle on the record... IF YOU WATCH REAL CLOSE... you will see the needle move from the beginning of the record to the end of the record and there is your video.. Critic.

[JammyBen]

Well said wparch ... After all, when it comes to good music it's all about what we hear NOT what we see ... This is such a damn cool tune. Excellent stuff ... Carl McIntosh is a genius, and y'all know I aint lying.

[cdsouthsidec1]

I hate how there are no videos posted of their most memorable songs.

[que1973]

i thought this came out in 85..well at least thats when i first heard it...keep putting em out.

[gmccall22]

you're correct , it was 85

[aquarius4real]

i relax when i hear this,love loose ends

[BMannasty]

This truly brings back grand memories of DJ'ing mellowed out private house party sets

[jonnyloppy]

got this on tape,ripped from robbie vincent radio1 on a sunday evening back in 84 just cos it sounded great first and only time i heard it.

great track even now !!!

[discomadness]

mike and mark at mr peabodys introduced me to this song last year. it is a wonderful tune. too bad people in chicago who like to step havent heard it yet.. nice choice. i havent seen this label on the record either. i have the u s domestic label.

[payney]

It's the original UK Virgin label that was printed for the maxi version that had 'choose me' in bold pink letters

[discomadness]

the two copies i have are white promo copies that are stateside(u s) would love to get my hands on the import(u k ) version. i believe the company promoted in europe first since loose ends came from the u k, then stateside.

[TheGezz]

Easy!!!

[faronlockridge]

"Lookaheregirl...do you want him or me? You had better Choose Me or Loose Me!!!" Thanks Loose Ends...I stole that line from y'all for when I was serving up that Git-Right juice back in the day.

[juleslious]

What a tune, definately the best of brit funk

[tsfunk42]

Great song. I was 18 when this came out and it was the bomb. I still rock this song today.

[Bendehoog]

Wow. From 1967, Loose Ends was my favorite, sooo smooth. I still got all the vinyl12", including two versions of this one.

[westcoastfantasy]

Definitely one of my favorites groups. Livin in the UK during this time, Ipswich, East Anglia. U know Cinderellas club was pumping this.

[Nneka1963]

I am so proud that I was there to experience the magical time in the 80's in London! I was I was back there now, life was sooo much easier! THANK YOU LOOSE ENDS!!! Nnek@ ;o) xxx

PS. I'M going to BRING YOU GUYS BACK!!! Mark my words!!! :D

[Skyjuice70]

I was 14 when this came out. I couldnt get enough of Loose Ends...i only wished they made a vid for this song. Loved the heck out of the Zagora Album....ahhhh..memories.

[Nneka1963]

Hi Dear Skyjuice70! It was an amazing time for me! Roller-Skating through London, listening to the great new sounds! And it's great to hear/read that you were there in Spirit too! You can't put down good music, where ever one is in this world!!! PEACE!!!

[maestrolx]

Love this song! Just good stuff. This was when I kept my radio with all the time.

[MrIncognito444]

Before there was Soul 2 Soul there was Loose Ends..One of the best groups in the 80's the music was off the chart and the sista could could sing. The British Sound was hot back in the day.

[landobnice]

@MrIncognito444 YES IT WAS!!!! nyc vigilantly played Loose Ends, Mica Paris, Five Star etc..

[719kai719]

@MrIncognito444 :) I agree 100%

[Realness97]

@MrIncognito444 Tru dat!!.. shame it was so far underground that it had exclusivity attached.. big up to all dem pirate stations and soul weekenders organisers

[amojasman70]

@MrIncognito444 a before Loose Ends was Junior and Central line.

[amojasman70]

@MrIncognito444 a before Loose Ends was Junior Giscombe and Central line.

[whitesongs73]

I love this song. Takes me back to 1984 whenI lived in Queens, NY. Oh the memories.

How come they do not make music like this no more? bummer!

[atruhata4real]

One of my all-time favorite R&B classic songs. I can listen to this over and over again. Just the sound of that sax makes this track worthwhile. Oh, the memories, thx 4 postin' fastflyer.

[MissDeb2008]

This vinyl sounds sweet. I agree with everyone...the 80's were the best for music, especially r & b. Sure brings back some nice memories, too! Very classy.

[gmccall22]

best r&b group ever. beautiful, smooth, jazzy sounds . its all about the 80s when it comes to music

[Nneka1963]

Hi Gmccall22!!! I am with YOU so 100%!!!I am so glad that I was able to be there in the 80's and hear this WONDERFUL music!!! I was on my skates in the London Roller-Discos!!! Nothing can beat it!!! Those were the days!!!! Nnek@ ;o) xxx

[gmccall22]

british soul was so popular in the U.S. during the 80s, especially in the black community..british accent is so beautiful. never knew much about the origin of loose ends until recently..all i knew was they can make awesome music

[Nneka1963]

Hi Gmccall22! Thanx for your subcribtion! :D Loose Ends was a BRILLIANT band!!! I'm glad to hear that they were very popular in the States too!!! PEACE & LOVE!!!

Nnek@ ;o) xxx

[yukiyu1974]

[dixneufcentquatrevin]

This track is so precious, keep it all your life

[rago]

Another killer song with the funky Jazz breaks. Sweet cut.

[juanricardog]

[ceilings69]

[Nneka1963]

AMEN! I miss those days!!! But I'm glad that I was there to enjoy them! Those were the days!!! Nnek@ ;o) xxx

[rago]

Amen again. I've never stopped playing these cuts and never will either.

[Nneka1963]

[gqmfsb]

loose ends to me were an revelation, with that jazzy brit sound. I think paved the way for alot of brit band there after.
