Rated 5/5

An absoloute classic and one of those records that really has a time... 3am to be precise. Fantasic deep house with a hypnotic bassline laced with Marvin Gaye samples. The intro is a montage of radio clips describing the shock at Marvins death, including a clip of famous radio jock Frankie Crocker. Never ever mix this record, always stop the previous one and play straight from the intro, as the drop is fantastic when the actual track kicks in. Classic KDJ.

I paid more for this record than any other record I own. I got a sealed copy, which of course I opened and now play out. Aside from the classic A side, the B side cuts are very nice. "One Night in the Disco" is essentially an edit of Sister Sledge's "He's the Greatest Dancer" and the other is a another disco edit sounding jam that I can't place the sample from. No matter, all three cuts are outstanding examples of the early Moodymann production style.

it starts with the radio announcing that marvin gaye had been shot by his father and takes it from there - impressive stuff - don“t get the point why they put the same song on both sides , but it`s a great record anyway..
