Gat Decor "Passion". Classic

#1 Post by PoloPony »

I only discovered it when it was released again in 1996, I find that pretty much every remix of that year's version was great.
I want to get the 1992 version cd, I took a look on discogs and there are several versions of course. It seems the Italian cd would be the best choice but none are for sale. Is the Darren Emerson mix recommended? Is it clubby or more on the chillout-side? I can't seem to remember what Emerson remix I have but somehow I remember not a banging remix.

Different tune altogether, Pleased Wimmin's Passion is a cover of The Flirts track that a certain Chris Lowe fell in love with.

Well it seems the Emerson remix sounds a lot like the original, and it's 14mins long so it's an obvious must-buy :)

Knew the people behind the tracks.
Gat Decor is an anagram of Tag Record(s) - an amazing London dance music shop in the 90s and early 2000s.

Is this related to the early-80's NYC club hit "Passion" (possibly produced by Bobby O?) that Chris has cited as an inspiration?

(Sorry , I'm on a computer where I can't play the YouTube links above, or if this is a stupid question.)
