Anyone got the version with "Whatcha Gonna Do With My Lovin'" as A4 instead of "Power of Passion"?- Edited 2 months ago
referencing Paradise (LP, Album) DIX 81
Just bagged the green vinyl ltd ed. Big Fun was always my big sister's favourite record. She had the 7 and once accused me of breaking it in half as we used to quarrel a lot. I swear I didn't big sis! What is better? Big Fun or Good Life? ... Big Fun every time for me. referencing Paradise (LP, Album) DIX 81
great virgin release by an outstanding producer with killer imagination. BIG FUN, AND GOOD LIFE, has gone on to be world wide pop sensations. kudos to kevin, i must say that after those 2 releases, i was so ready for SECRET OF THE MIND 12 REMIXES, but they never came. lol... still the soung i play the most to this day in sets.referencing Paradise (LP, Album) DIX 81
This is a great album that was randomly sitting in a record store that usually only has rap and rock. And at only $8 in pristine condition. I will never forget itreferencing Paradise (LP, Album) DIX 81
I can’t recall any artist producing a techno/house album in the late 80s other than Inner City. If these genres interest you this album is a historical start point. Reference material and when you listen deep replicated in modern day material.referencing Paradise (LP, Album) DIX 81
This album has the busiest percussion I think I've ever heard.referencing Paradise (LP, Album) DIX 81
Sound: very good an clear sound, with great volume, no clicking and popping sounds, stylus stops early on last track because grooves are too close to label, I assume.
Found a mint version still sealed, nice!referencing Paradise (LP, Album) DIX81
Classic late 80's recording of Detroit techno-house & rhythmic dance-pop from forward-looking (at the time) producer Kevin Saunderson featuring the blissful vocals of Chicago House diva Paris Grey.
Historic funky & soulful soundtrack.referencing Paradise (LP, Album) DIX 81
Great Album! From Start to Finish, Bangers. Club Party Recordreferencing Big Fun (LP, Album) 1-91242
Inner City's "Do You Love What You Feel" is a classic and a prime example in great Detroit house. The remix done by Duane Bradley elevates to a whole other level. You swear you've heard this song, somewhere. The vocals of Paris Grey can't be matched. A great song and definitely one that moves and brings everyone on the dance floor.
