Review by privilegedmanproductions Feb 05, 2009

My favourite record of all time - Jackmaster 2. I still have this record and will never part with it!

Love Invasion is one of the forgotten classics of the 80's house era. I first heard this on Westside's Jackmaster 2 compilation in '88 and played it non stop!!

I loved this track so much I covered it myself with our dance project Kandystand in an up to date style.

Fantastic soulful lyrics written by Gavin Christopher and Rocky Jones, and his sister Shawn Christopher brings her soulful voice to the vocals.

My only criticism is that the original track didnt sound mastered that well (could have done with a little more compression) but hey this was the pioneering 80's when gear was expensive...

20 years of house and tracks like this still sound fresh....
