This release is 'scary' for me as I distinctly remember bopping around to
this as a teenager when the original from drummer
Idris Muhammad's "Turn This Mutha Out" album was released 45 years ago in 1977. It seems I'm not alone as
Jean-Paul 'Bluey' Maunick did the same whilst working in a record
shop back in those days.
I'm pretty sure this got hammered on Northern Soul dancefloors probably
broken initially at the Blackpool Mecca but in any case it crossed over
and just missed out on a UK Top 40 position peaking at #42 on 1 Oct 1977
it's third week on the chart. It didn't do any better stateside peaking at
#76 and only did marginally better on the R&B chart hitting #68. So
once again the UK knew it's onions!
This new version from Incognito featuring Bluey was recorded
specifically to celebrate Dome Records 30th anniversary this year.
It's been available from Traxsource for a week or two with three mixes:
full length, edit and Ski Okenfull mix (but you pay a premium for tracks on
there, generally $2.49 per track). I was holding off posting it until it is
officially released next Friday (29 Apr 2022), but as Andy Tee played it on
the UK Soul Chart Breakers last night I thought I may as well post it so I
could link to it from his Breakers chart.
