Reissued digitally today (along with a whole batch of other reissued albums from Universal's back catalogue which has somewhat queered the pitch for finding brand new material!) is Dayton's 1983 album "Feel The Music" which contains their modern soul masterpiece "Promise Me". This is a must have for that track alone which we believe may the first time it has been made available
digitally. The album was last reissued on CD in 2022 in Japan and on vinyl in the U.S. in 2004.
The album leads with their only UK hit "The Sound Of Music" (a big club sound in 1983 and peaked at #75) and contains the
2-stepper "It Must Be Love" and the ballad "Caught In The Middle" being our highlights..
The "Promise Me" single rarely come up for sale (why would you part
with it?), there are none currently available via Discogs with the last
two selling there for in excess of £250! The album version is a slightly
longer take, 4:02 v 3:42. It was paired with "Eyes On You" (1980) and reissued on 7" by Expansion last July who appear to have some still available on their website.
Talking of Expansion, they have a batch of four vinyl reissues being released at the end of the month which we will catch up with at some point.
Unsurprisingly the group was formed in Dayton, OH, in 1980 and consisted of former members of Sun and Magnum. They released five albums between 1980-85
