Description
Fully legit reissue of a highly sought after and essential Boogie classic. Original copies have exchanged hands for over £300.
Recorded in 1982 as a cover version of Atmosfear’s ‘Xtra Special’ from the same year, the recording has become a flagship release amongst collectors and music lovers from a long line of versions under the production of Began Cekic and his various labels.
By the early 80s, vocalist Dolette Mcdonald was already firmly rooted in her singing career singing with Afro-Cuban Band, Michael Zager, Chic, Buster Jones and numerous New Wave bands, most notably Talking Heads on record and on tour. “I was doing a lot of work at Blank Tape Studios as a session singer and was assigned to work with Began”, Dolette recalls. “He played me a tape of the original version. I hadn’t heard it before and we went over it a few times until I had it down. Buster Jones played the bass. I remember it being a lot of fun.”
