I'm almost ready for a Guinness and I could murder a prawn madras, so perhaps even a dance is in the offing, eh readers? This is one of my favourite disco records from a period when great ones seemed to fall from the sky in huge numbers like so many autumn leaves.
I don't think this gets played as much as some, which is maybe why it still sounds so fresh. Plus it's properly funky, not some lame old Europap, and what a sleeve!
By the way, it is a truth universally acknowledged that 1979 is the greatest year there has ever been in the history of pop music ever and if you disagree I will sue.
This is the 12" mix (6:47) with drums that go boo!boo! and everything, because I loves ya.

When I'm down, and troubled and need a helping hand .. etc (name that tune?) ... I draw a smiley face in my freshly poured Guinness and all is well again.
By the seventh pint ... well, I couldn't really give a fuck!

Bugger. On both counts, i.e. 1) they are clearly getting more litigious - and this pulling the whole post thing is nasty; I have started backing up my posts in case 2) I really know that woman's voice DAMN AND BLAST IT!!!
