'Your love' had been released a few years earlier on Persona Records and with its tale of desire for love, beautiful melodies, and almost sexually abiguous lyrics it was a breath of fresh air even on its second release on Trax records.
Both tracks on this 12" sound like they could well be unfinalised versions and have that classic 'Trax' sound. The pressing on my copy is okey but there are dropouts in the sound and crackles in all the right places.
This release was largely uncredited to 'Jamie Principle' with most people at the time, in the UK at least, thinking of it as a 'Frankie Knuckles' release. Both tracks heavily influenced the then emerging U.K Acid House scene, although it must be noted that neither of these is an Acid House record.
One thing that's often overlooked in the lyrics is the line "Jesse, I hate thieves" which refers to an earlier incident of 'Jesse Saunders' re-recording note for note 'Jamie Principle's' earlier track 'Waiting On My Angel'
