Ahead of a "UK Underground Soul" compilation due on Friday (13 Oct),
Athens Of The North has dropped a previously unreleased The Danceyard Recording Corporation white
label promo 12" by Taffy from it. It's not dated but sounds late 80s / early 90s and, going by the catalogue number, would date it 1988/89.
It was discovered by DJ/music play-lister/consultant Sam Donnison (aka Sam Don) who has compiled the tracks for Athens Of The North. He describes it as 'A lost Balearic soul gem' and states that it's his favourite find of 2022.
Taffy is Deptford's (London) Katherine Quay who
released several singles from the late 70s through to the late
80s. She is perhaps best known for her (hideous) euro-disco hit "I Love My Radio" which peaked at #6 on UK pop chart in Nov '86 which had to be
endured for 16 weeks on the chart!
Don't let that put you off as "Passion" is much, much better. It is released with two versions, the main and a shorter demo mix.
