Can you post Marcia Hines again? I missed this one
Can you post this record again, please
Amazing sound. What a woman!
Hi Paul. As an Aussie all I can say is WOW. This version was never released in Australia even though she lives and records here. Cant wait to listen to this. Thanks mate. I’ll put a shrimp on the barbie for ya.
I am Dutch and I remember this was a hit in holland around 1981 or so, I was 11 and I loved it since! I did not know there was a 12 inch version of this! thanks, it brings back great memories!
I’m surprised no-one mentioned that this was also recorded by Dusty Springfield at about the same time (I always get confused as to who actually recorded it first, but it was only a hit for Marcia)
This is daughter Deni’s biggest and most obvious hit:

Thanks so much Paul, I can’t wait to listen to this. I am unfamiliar with this artist. Her genre is just the sort of style I enjoy. It’s a shame that some artists in Europe and Australia never got enough recognition in the U.S., not that we have a shortage of good music, but for me there is never too much good music, especially disco, R&B, soul, and funk (even sometimes rock, pop, hip-hop, rap, house, techno, rave, gothic, baroque, classical, jazz, and industrial). I think some of those are sub-genres of the other, but I’m not sure. Your blog… Read more »
Hey Paul, did you have a problem with the dot-screen on the sleeve scan? (the diagonal grid of dots on her clothes – I don’t think it’s meant to be there?)
I found a really cool descreen filter for Photoshop that works intelligently rather than just using blurring like scanners do: http://www.descreen.net/eng/soft/descreen/descreen_examples.htm
I’ve started to use it on my own stuff and have been pleased so far. Might be worth a play? I was gonna descreen your scan to compare it, but it needs the 600dpi version to work its magic. 🙂
I take it all back Paul, I like it..
Good to hear Ex15 🙂
thanks for these immemorial vinyl djpaul thanks for sharing I have followed in these last years greetings

Mike
You’re welcome Mike 🙂
OK you’ve persuaded me..
lol let me know what you think. I really like it myself 🙂
Never heard of her or the song..!
Won’t be downloading:)
Ok well that’s your choice but you’ll never get to know new things if you don’t give it a try 🙂
I always go to Google when I see something here I don’t recognize. Sometimes it’s a track I forgot about!
If you google the artist and title, Youtube videos usually come up, and you can just listen to a snippet before deciding to take advantage of Paul’s hard work. 😉

Cdmaniac are you entering the correct username and password? What does the error say?
Tried again from the website (not the E-mail) & its working!
Great to see you back in action, Paul!
Only have the 7″ version so thanks for the 12″.
Marcia’s daughter Deni Hines had a string of 90s hits in Australia, both as part of The Rockmelons and solo.
The mother and daughter team even got together and released a cover of Stomp.
Thank you Ric. Very interesting I didn’t know that she had a daughter that sang. I will check her out 🙂
