Just thinking, remembering really, that the royalty of late 70s to early 80s dance music, Odyssey, were not actually a disco band at all. People refer to them as disco pop musicians and I admit I made that mistake for a while. They are so much better... See full review

From memory of the time itself, though I could never be totally sure again after the fact, all four mixes were Jimmy Cauty remixes, miscredited universally from day one, with Youth an engineer for somewhere between one and possibly all four mixes.

Anyone know if pre-release versions of this were playing in some clubs / raves as early as late summer to early autumn 88?

Great track, from an old school house person, it's nearly unheard of for me to say this about house of recent years. Make more please.

2020. Cries with memories. Two years of Summers of Loves and this year with this always emotional, blissed out, joyous tribute to original hippy Janis Joplin and every power and spirit of love, we were taken somewhere heavenly.

Rest in peace the... See full review

PP Arnold, 60s vocalist and voice of The Beatmasters' "Burn it Up" was a backing singer on the 1990 single re-release version (Live at Trancentral), as well as 3am. Apparently Arnold got screwed around by the group over payment. She described anger... See full review

I hate the word, though this was one of the most seminal tracks for house. In the year which really defined house music when it first went truly global & popular (and in the UK particularly), "You're Gonna Miss Me" set the clear, simple club form away... See full review

Earlier imprints of this must be rarer than hen's teeth, no-one having uploaded a version to discogs of before 93-94. As Factory051 says, I remember it from closing time @ The Hacienda in the 80s and other places such as Shoom, Echoes in Bow and... See full review

(The 2013 Systematic mixes).
Wow. The NY Stomp mix sounds like proper old school New York garage. It works. It's a 10 to 25 years later remix which isn't a dud - turn up for the books. Why doesn't this happen more often? I can nearly hear it in the... See full review

Huge house track on the London scene and environs scene in what was the last of the years of "warehouse". I need to give a big mention for the Hacienda too - they loved this, particularly the duo Graeme Park and Mike Pickering. It was often pitched... See full review

I wonder if I'm the only one in the world with my opinion on this track. I followed Joy Division and loved New Order from their formation to and very much including their Balearic & Acid House days, so around 90-91. I had to give up on them after that... See full review

I used to think this was C & C gone New York handbag. The NY handbag house song. I just didn't get this one they did, with, of all their female vocalists, the most legendary already. It was a year of M People in the UK also and some of us were getting... See full review

There are so many mixes of this track. It was so popular on the scene. Most though are more deep house, towards deep bass drum ambient house or the odd one towards more poppy or euro club mix, such as Eurovisionary.

The main one I can think yours... See full review

Very, very few people have been making house and dance within the old school groove, attitude, ambience, quality and effect world, as with 237,000 miles. Paul Woolford has sometimes been one of them. Like every modern dance artist he can suffer from... See full review

1988 and Reese's Hard Core mix was amazing, hearing the more progressive, detached
Detroit attitude with the Chicago origin acid, now extremely popular in the UK amongst the early, obsessed, regular following. This was for sure the sound of Brixton... See full review

West 26th St mix very early Shoom tune, late 1987 in the gorgeous Southwark very early soul house sessions (not just that mix though). What an incredible tune and spirit. When I discover it again, it takes a few listens, preferably of the W 26th mix,... See full review

Some mixes exemplify one type of 89-90 deep trance style house in these couple of years which saw deep get deeper as a therapeutic accompaniment to techno and acid. This couple of years also saw ambient emerge and become important. The art of trance... See full review

I'm glad you mentioned 89. There are many tracks I remember from some time before the earliest release date you can find in discogs today, so it can be frustrating. Of course it was definitive of the club and rave scenes back then, you'd usually hear... See full review

This 2019 digital AAC album version looks to be the same as the original 1990 analogue cassette version I had. It had the most tracks by far and of course is now hard to get, so it's great to see the download version available. Paradise was a house... See full review

I thought there was an early version of this, 1988, out in the clubs at least? I guess that white labels or other pre-release versions, maybe just thrown around from band members or producers to friends in the house music scenes, needn't necessarily... See full review

Anyone have the date of the first release in '89? As with many old house tracks, I think I'm sure (!) the track in some form was played in clubs earlier, this one during '88. So maybe there are some earlier white label discs still around? In any case,... See full review

The Richie Rich dub was the sound of summer 1989, wafting across every field and then
later also surprising you when strangely they played the long grass music at night time in a dark, indoors club.

What a time. It was just incredible - the two best... See full review

I'm looking for an extended (I think part dub) version of the Deep Dish mix of "Three Steps to Heaven". The standard Deep Dish of 3 Steps is around 9 minutes 20. I think this extended mix is a few minutes more, lots of atmospheric build up of... See full review

A legend of all legends in most versions. I find it strange there aren't more comments about this timeless track, not just in connection with Manchester and The Hacienda and other clubs, but clubs all over The UK.
