Freestyle continues with their drive to unearth rare and classic UK funk, soul & boogie records with a reissue of a rare formerly white label-only debut 12" by UK soul icon Rick Clarke from 1981.

This is a classic slice of British disco funk, showcasing an early vocal talent that would go on to become a key feature of the late 80s UK soul scene, alongside a tight-as rhythm section. The subtly dubbed-out instrumental mix is a real treat too, bringing those synth flourishes and soaring horns to the fore and letting us hear Carlton's bass work wonders unencumbered.
