Jamie Principle - Your Love

No one questions the importance of the Classic chef d'oeuvre by Jamie Principle with the beautiful vocals of Adrienne Jett: 'Your Love' infested the DJ charts and dancefloors on the House scene of United States on the mid eighties and became a standard of the genre that would dominate the Club scene since then. Released several times later under different labels, it's known to be a production created much before 1986, but what very few people may know is the fact that its classy futuristic bass lines were taken from the Electronic Disco masterpiece 'Feels Good' by Electra feat Tara Butler on Emergency Records, 1982. You can hear them repeatedly from 2'49 to 3'10 on the original Emergency single.

This track is simply amazing and is miles ahead of most tracks of 1986 with thoughtfull vocals and chilling synths which I suspect were co produced with Danny Wilson & Chip Eberhart (Sweet D) as tucked away on TX119B is Dig I Da-Dig I Da which almost the same synth. Please note this was repressed and re-released in very limited numbers in 1999 ish with HMV getting approx 50 copies. I have got the 2 which Oxford Street had one which is now used and one which remains sealed. I have never seen an original 1986 copy and suspect they are only available in very small numbers in USA.

This is indeed a great track. One thing I didn't realize is that it owes greatly to Electra's 'Feels Good'. Listen to the basslines of the two tracks. The Electra track is so ahead of its time I thought it was cribbing from 'Your Love'. Not the case...

The foundations of house music were practically built on this record.
Aninspirational,unforgettable house track that gave birth to a whole new music movement.
