12 mix half way through when it all kicks off is the better version of this Disco classic

So good I bought it twice. This is one of my favourite Sunshine Sound acetates. It's a superb re-edit by Keith Dumpson. I can imagine him sitting there for hours with a razor blade splicing the tape and making edit after edit. He turns an already majestic anthem into a beautiful dark, persistent and compelling record. It reaches a soaring climax in the middle and then continues for another five minutes of Philly beats, strings and bass. Beautiful. This is what disco's all about. 5/5
