A special tribute to a fantastic person!!!

It's with great sadness that I learn of the passing away of a fantastic person who was a great contributor to the blog and shared many great tracks with me.

I know this track has been posted on the blog before, but it is posted again in tribute to Allison as it was one of her favourites (and one of mine too).

Allison you were an extremely special person and someone with a fantastic passion for wonderful dance music.

Rest In Peace - you will never be forgotten.

This track is solely dedicated for you, in your memory.

God Bless!! .

Relight My Fire - Which is the best version??

In an earlier post on this blog I stated that I thought that the Dan Hartman version of this track was the best bar none. However, I was then informed that the version played at the Hacienda was the Julian Jumpin Perez version.

I've manged to get hold of a copy of the Julian Jumpin Perez remix

In my opinion I still think that the Dan Hartman version is the best of them all, but the Julian Jumping Perez remix is very good. There's also a Joe Smooth remix which is also excellent.

To me nothing beats the Dan Hartman version, the intro is fantastic and is pure disco brilliance, then it builds into the true dance classic which we all know it is.

What do you think??

P.S. All Take That/Lulu versions should be destroyed immediately, as they only helped to tarnish a fantastic record.

Forget Lulu, Forget Take That, think Dan Hartman!!

I used to hate Take That for spoiling one of the all time disco classics, but I sort of forgive them now that they have come back and are making bearable tracks. 

Forget Lulu. The Dan Hartman version is the only version that counts. 

Check the intro as well, this track still rocks in clubs today.
