One of the greatest 80s modern soul tunes ever released is gaining a
reissue on 7" vinyl by Expansion Records who have paired two of their modern soul gems back to back.
Dayton's killer side "Promise Me" is taken from "Feel The Music" (1983) and "Eyes On You" from their 1980 self-titled debut album. Both were released as singles
with "Promise Me" now fetching three figures.
Don't take much notice of the highest price paid on Discogs (£255) (that must have been a desperate buyer) as they were selling for around £25
a few years back but have crept up in price (supply & demand) with
none currently available for sale.
Anyway, unless you absolutely must have original vinyl you can now buy it
for £12 and "Promise Me" is the slightly longer (4:02 v 3:43) album version available on 7" for the first time (it was released on a 3 track 12" which are a bit cheaper and easier to find).
Not surprisingly Dayton were formed in Dayton, OH, in 1980 and consisted of former members of Sun and Magnum. They released five albums between 1980-85 and are possibly best know for another track from the "Feel The Music" album "The Sound Of Music" which was a big club hit and a minor pop hit in the UK in 1983 but pales in significance to these two sides which 'criminally' never even made it into the R&B chart!
