Burning The Ground Exclusive 1986
Despite the “Death Of Disco” at the end of the 1970s, the desire for a different type of dance music was being demanded by the gay clubs in the U.S. and the U.K.. Hi-NRG dance music filled that need and became all the rage in the mid to late 1980s. One of those records that I remember dancing to at an after-hours club called The Wreck Room in Oklahoma City was”Get Ready” by Robin Stanley a cover of a Motown song written by Smokey Robinson, which resulted in two hit records for the label: a U.S. No. 29 version by The Temptations in 1966, and a U.S. No. 4 version by Rare Earth in 1970.
Robin Stanley’s 1986 version is a 138 BPM floor-filling Hi-NRG dance track released on the legendary Oak Lawn Records label based in Dallas Texas. “Get Ready” was the only single Robin Stanley ever released there is not much information about her or the recording available.
