Incognito Feat. Bluey [2022] Could Heaven Ever Be Like This [Dome]

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.
