I think i remember them perform on a UK music show called “The Hitman & Her” around that time. I liked the “Requiem” single too.
Cheers Paul 🙂
Awesome ! Requested this before . Thanks so much Paul.
Many, many thanks for this Paul. Been trying to get a copy of this for ages. Totally cheesy but brilliant dance music that just makes you feel so good. You probably know this Paul, but the boys tragically died together with their partners in a car accident while crossing the alps.
Apologies for being away for so long by the way. I’m now back and hope to send a long overdue donation very shortly. Thanks again for all you do Paul. This is one helluva awesome website you give us matey and its very much appreciated. With hugs x
Good to see you, Roy, it has been a while. I actually did not know that they had both passed away very sad. This music does make you want to move. TThank you for the donation 🙂
You’re very welcome Paul. Have a great weekend.
It seems that the one who made the Spice Girls’s song “Spice Up Your Life” had already heard this before.
🙂
There are so many records I’ve heard about, but many that I haven’t. And there’s a lot I know from remix services. This is one of them and I love this song!! Oh and Paul, it’s so awesome because you present the “materials” on which so many of the remix services’ versions come from. I so love this preservation you do for so many classic singles. This song is a pleasure to get on a Friday, to rush in the weekend. Gosh, I just love what you do. You’re tremendous in everyway!!!
Have a glorious weekend!!!
Jeff
Have a great weekend Jeff 🙂
Good disco record. Thanks Paul.
You’re welcome Omar 🙂
