This is a lovely little forgotten gem of a track that I first encountered on a Deep Heat album. I heard it played out a couple of times in clubs but it had pretty poor exposure, if my memory serves me correctly.
It has a sad, mournful vibe, despite the hopeful lyrics.
Produced and written by Mike Percy and Tim Lever, who, as One World Productions, went on to produce for the likes of Kenny Thomas, Pauline Henry, Diana Brown And Barrie K. Sharpe, After 7 and others.
Sadly, I don't know the vocalists name.
Only the one mix which is backed up with a radio edit and an instrumental. Regardless, it's a nice release of a great song and really does deserve some love, even if it is almost thirty years too late!
Tracklist
- Down On Love (Assertive Edit)
- Down On Love (Assertive Mix)
- Down On Love (Assertive Instrumental)
Absolute Killer!! Nice 1 :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I love this track. Takes me back! :)
DeleteDo you have their other track by any chance, Come Into My Heart?
ReplyDeleteNope! I've not even heard it up til now, Ingo. I've just had a look on Discogs and it doesn't seem like there was a CD release of it. I can't rip vinyl anymore so I can't even get a copy to post!
DeleteNo worries :)
