this is a 1998 re-release of a 1983 cd which followed the 1977 lp version. i already have 2 copies on vinyl but couldn't pass on this cd version for £3. the title track still sounds like it's made tomorrow and, of course, carry on turn me on sounds gorgeous. stunning stuff.

I've been searching for this since it was brought to my attention a few months back on djhistory. there are so many good records out there that i've never heard before and it was a joy to come across this beauty. it was in amongst a job lot of albums that came into a store. they had been owned by 4 brothers who pooled their money together to buy records and as they each left home the eldest was put in charge. the youngest brother ended up with everything and when he died his family sold all his stuff. the condition of the records was mind blowing. i suspect they bought a record, taped it and put the record back on the shelf. it was 99% rock music with a few bits of disco/funk. anyway, the record shop guy pointed at the pile and said, "there are some 12s in there". after 2 hours of searching through 3000 lps i found about 20 singles and bought 5. this, obviously, being the pick of the bunch. the soundclip in the link doesn't portray how rough this recording is, but that only adds to it's appeal because this track is pure magic.
