A1. Heartache No. 9 (Disco Remix)
B1. You & I (Long Version)
Following the Record Store Day release of Donna McGhee’s Make It Last Forever, Groove Line Records launches a series of 12” audiophile reissues from the Disco underground starting with the irresistible Heartache No. 9 by DELEGATION. DELEGATION'S 1980 single, Heartache No. 9, the opening track from the groups Ken Gold (The Real Thing) produced album Eau De Vie, is represented on this release in its much sought after 12” Disco Remix version.
Opening with an irresistible, tight, fluid, bottom-end groove provided that sees the crisp drums and propulsive bass, allied to the interplay between the funky horn runs and Chic-esque guitars, Heartache No. 9 has your feet firmly on the dance floor before the stunning orchestration and Ricky Bailey's passionate interpretation of the clever, innovative lyrics bind all the elements together to make this a bona-fide club classic.
The flip side is the equally infectious You And I, also a hit single from Eau De Vie, which exhibits all the traits of Heartache No. 9 with an emphasis on the strong vocal harmonies taking centre stage in front of the more minimal orchestration.
All Groove Line Records releases are fully licensed and taken from the original master tapes, remastered by Nick Robbins at Sound Mastering, and cut by Matt Colton at Alchemy (Mastering Engineer of the Year 2013). All vinyl is heavy weight 180g and manufactured by the world class pressing plant Optimal Media in Germany. Groove Line Records cut no corners when making sure that each and every one of our releases has the highest quality performance possible. Look out for more high calibre releases in the Autumn.
Groove Line Records’ deluxe audiophile reissue of Heartache No. 9 is an essential purchase for any serious Funk, Dance or Disco vinyl collector who demands the very best in quality vinyl pressings.
