A1 - Hangin' On a String - Frankie
Knuckles Club MixB1 - Hangin' On a String - Frankie Knuckles Classic Club
RepriseB2 - Hangin' On A String - Original 12 Inch Mix Take a much-loved UK soul gem, Loose
Ends classic from ‘85 ‘Hangin’ On A String’ and hand
it to the godfather of house, Frankie Knuckles to work his
unquestionable magic and there was no doubt the result would be a slice
of house music heaven. South Street Records unlock the
vaults once again, reissuing this melding of transatlantic
minds presenting a triple threat that sees both Frankie’s 1992
Club Mix and the elusive Classic Club Reprise sit
alongside the Loose Ends Original 12 Inch Mix, on either side
of a 12 inch. Taking the best of London’s soul and
coupling it with the heart of Chicago, the master
Frankie Knuckles purrs this one out across the highways with
a slung-back house interpretation of ‘Hangin’ On A String’. A
bumping beat, punchy bass line and effortless percussive
touches give the perfect platform for Loose End’s vocal
dynamics to provide a power, emotion and sincerity
often lacking in modern dance music. Flip it over to find the
Classic Club Reprise - straight up sunset business
with Frankie side-lining the vocals to let the instrumentation
sing with added trademark flourishes in true spiritual
style. Finally, the Original 12 Inch Mix gets a
well-deserved inclusion which, back in 1985 was a true game
changer bridging a multiplicity of scenes in the UK with its use of
drum machines and synthesizers whilst maintaining that pure soul
vibe. A track that topped the US Billboard
R&B chart, making Loose Ends the first ever British band to
do so, it’s a UK soul classic drenched in drum machine hits, soaring
synths and crunchy guitar licks that’s infused with an ‘80s electro
style and a quintessentially London flavour. More
