about

We drop two big 12"s this week, in the form of both impossibly rare singles recorded by early UK street soul act Pause. Dating from the late 80s these 12"s represent some of the finest music to come out of this period of British soul music, and represent the entirety of the trio's known output!

Pause was a boogie/soul side-project born out of popular lovers rock group The Administrators - who recorded a multitude of sides for the foundational Harlesden producer/imprint Cha Cha before going on to found the Groove & A Quarter label recording a series of hits on the lovers scene during the latter part of the decade. Pause's Hugh Pomells recalls a desire to take the music in a new direction as being the driving force behind the project, with the group also counting vocalist Sinclair in it's ranks (who would go on to record a series of hit singles for the Dome label in the early-to-mid 1990s).

Preceding the smooth space-age soul of 1988's "Got to Know" was this, 1987's seminal electro-boogie jam "It's Just Amazing". As the only two singles ever recorded by the group, originally self-released in very small quantities, they have gone on to command massively inflated prices on the secondhand market. The first ever officially licensed reissues of these lost British soul classics will not hang about for long, so grab them quick!!!

One of the funkiest tracks I've ever heard. Wish there would be more music from Clastyle/James Enard (LP "Hots" was announced but regrettably never released, are there any further tracks to get unearthed?) Thanks for this heavy-hitter! funkyma

Wish that both of these stunning tracks would have been reissued as single (with Dub mix)... But hey, it's great to have the long/extended versions with this "combined" single. And the great Frank Cornelius contributin' the bass overdubs is a further plus of these songs! funkyma
