Farley "Jackmaster" Funk & Jessie Saunders - Love Can't Turn Around flac mp3 download

Had the pleasure of attending a club night simply titled 'Ambassadors' at the Ambassadors Hotel in Euston, London as a 16 year old schoolboy and witnessing the mighty Daryl Pandy smash it live. Awesome!

"Centre labels incorrectly indicate that record plays at 45rpm on both sides. In fact the record is cut at 33rpm."My copy has the correct 33 1/3 RPM on the B side but 45 on the A side.

Id like the house apella and instrumental pella in a digital file...wish it were on cd.

It's hard to believe that this record is nearly thirty (!!) years old! The one that started it all - well, kind of. While we all know that it wasn't the first house record, it was the record which truly introduced house music to a great many of us here in the UK. It was also a big chart/mainstream club hit - which should have kept me well away from it, as I've never been one for chart music and always hated mainstream clubbing. At the time, I was a metal/punk/goth kid (with the hair and clothes to prove it!) but with a steadily-growing "electronic music" collection, including the complete set of "Streetsounds Electro" albums and other hip-hop/electro vinyl and tapes. This was thanks to the wonderful John Peel (R.I.P.), who got me into hip-hop/electro when he played Grandmaster Flash's "The Message" way back in 1982. But this record took me by surprise - it was something about the hard, pounding kick drums and the superb vocal which caught my attention. Little did I know what effect this music would have on my life. Picked this one up on one of my regular trips to Eastern Bloc, Manchester; which, at the time, simply had a tiny section labelled "House Imports" which had about 10 records in it!! :) - there was no sub-genre excess back then! A year later, the bass guitar and Marshall stack were gone, I bought my first mixer and two turntables, and the rest is history. Yet even as late as 1988, I actually thought it would just be a passing fad - to the extent that I spent more time on perfecting my scratching technique rather than on my four-to-the-floor mixing - I actually thought that hip-hop would last much longer than house. Yet here I am, in 2015, still listening to music which can be traced back to those early Chicago tracks, and genuine house music still exists. I don't scratch any more, by the way ;)While I rarely listen to house these days (acid techno, hard trance, early Goa trance and jungle/oldskool hardcore are the styles I love the most), this record could still rock the right dancefloor today - unlike other records of the time (such as "Jack Your Body"), which now sound hopelessly dated. While it's perhaps not as "cool" as 303-driven records like "Acid Tracks", it still deserves its place in history as one of the most important, and best, house records ever made.

I REMEMBER WALKING INTO SPIN OFF RECORDS FULHAM LONDON IN 86 AND JAZZY M GRINNING TO ME WITH THIS ON THE DECK,PLAYING THE DUB AS LOUD AS HE COULD.. HOLDING UP A COPY FOR ME THINGS WERE NEVER THE SAME AFTER THAT DAY IN THE WORLD OF 12INCH RECORDS ABSOLUTE CLASSIC

The 'Houseapella' version on the FU-11 House Records release is an epic under-known track.

Mash-up of the vocals with DJ Sneak's 'You Can't Hide From Your Bud'.

A cover of Isaac Hayes' "I Can't Turn Around", this song more than any other introduced the general public outside of Chicago to the then emerging House sound.Considered a pop song in the U.K, reaching the top 10 on it's release, it also introduced the world to the earth shaking vocals of Darryl Pandy.A series of copy cat releases swamped the British charts but none matched this for it's quality or originality.An outstanding release that perhaps was never bettered.

It's a remake of Isaac Hayes' 'I can't turn around'.
