501’s – We Are Invincible (UK 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1984

Celebrating Pride 2021

Totally Obscure 80s!

Not only is this 12″ a fantastic pick to end Pride 2021 it’s also a Totally Obscure 80s record as well. I bought this record mainly because the sleeve and title intrigued me, many times I will buy a record just for its artwork and imagery, this is one of those records.

“We Are Invincible” is a record that I could not find any information about at all other than 501’s only released two singles according to Discogs.

I hope that you enjoy this record it’s a HI-NRG track that I can imagine would have been a hands in the air late-night floor filler.

Happy Pride everyone.
