Some copies have the center labels switched, so that what appears to be side A is actually side B, and vice versa.

Review by donhardway Sep 17, 2007
Master C and J have many classic Chicago house tune and this one is somewhat different from their usual sound (or the typical sound of coming out of Chicago at that time) and it definitely works! "When You Hold Me" is indeed a signature song for the classic Hotmix 5 radio shows on WBMX. It is a very unusual track with a haunting lyrics, a definite precursor of the minimalist house genre.

Interestingly enough the track is actual an interpolation (same medley) as Farley "Jackmaster" Funk's song "Give Yourself To Me" (although I am unsure of which track came first).

NOTE: Master C and J often collaborated with Liz Torres.

"When You Hold Me" is a good song but the best song on this record is "Dub Love". Is has a hypnotic incessant buzzing noise and a sort of constant brass noise, with sexy breathy vocals. I still listen to it at least a few times a week.
