An absolute banger! I've loved this song since the first time i heard it back in the day. A much simpler time. Hurry up and build a time machine someone... I'm in.
100% one of the best house records ever made, I love how its still pretty unknown (with my generation, 25) whenever I play this at a rave the reaction is crazy. For the DJs out there, this track works perfectly with the OSC2 mix of exterminate by Snap! Enjoy
ENERGY, in the big air hanger. speakers on massive fuck off trucks. Police tried to stop it with there riot vans, but we just wanted to dance and get piled up. Break away from our council estates and not go down the local like the old man. It was exciting . Dangerous, dodgy warehouses inn NE London, no roof, but piles tunes and a place to go to and connect with other sound people. Humans under 1 roof . All on the same level. There for the love of HOUSE MUSIC. 1987 TO 1991. Where the best years for me. Then the gangsters got involved and got greedy and fucked it up. But everything must end. GUTTED
Excellent time to be clubbing, would love to get some more from you for a podcast I am doing about the golden era if you were up for it, could you e mail me your e mail address, getdownwithdisco@gmail.com
34 years old and still banging is testament to how music got revolutionised by the 80's and 90's, best times to have grown up!!! am a proud 70's child....and still 'avin it 🤣 in fact this track is older than my oldest son, lol....good days happy times xx
I was 8 when this was released in 1988. I would love to have been part of the birth of house and rave culture. Everything was so pure and simple and without any pretentions back then.
For some reason the words" right before my eyes" came in to my head! I had to put it in yourube! And I found it! Love it! Transports me to 1988....my 2nd year in college (uk) right before uni! ❤
"you can't sleep here mate!" bouncer woke me up,this intro had just started... I went to the dance floor to boogie the night away. thanks for the awesome upload,much love discodan❤❤❤❤.
Used to cane this record to bits when I ran a disco. That intro would drive the place nuts. Was really hard to get hold of record then came across it in Virgin megastore London. Pure stripped back house.
@@KIERNAN100 It sounds a bit unbelievable now, but the Virgin Megastore on Oxford Street actually had a pretty good dance music section in 1989-90. I used to go up to London every Tuesday to buy US import 12"s and promos from the record stores around Soho (the little stores that were mostly used by DJs) and it was often the case that if I couldn't find the latest thing from Nu Groove or Strictly Rhythm down around Greek Street/Berwick Street I could find it in Virgin or HMV. Some of my rarest vinyl actually came from what was then the biggest record shop in the world!
Sth LDN QPR nope my cousins in Spain had this on all the time in summer while I was in the car it made me cry listening to this at home it reminds me off all the great times but I miss them
It was briefly available on Spotify a couple of years ago (it was a great day when I found it!) but now it's greyed out and unplayable on my playlist. I presume it's something to do with a copyright claim. A lot of the independent house music of the era was never "published" by the major labels, so no one seems to know who has the rights to stream it. Lawyers are probably arguing about it. The bastards.
Actually, only the vocal is left from the original. I re-produced every track. The piano is David Cole. The kick drum is so powerful because I sampled a 52" parade drum and put it under a Linn kick.
@@DroopusTunes I believe you and Frank Heller did most of the work on this, but I think the additional keyboards (from Peter Schwartz???) on the house mix are what turned this into an underground club smash in the UK. I really like the original club mix you did too though. That must have required a lot of chopping up in the sampler, unless you got busy with some razor blades and tape!
I tried finding out who did the vocals, but after 20 minutes of looking on wikipedia, discogs and google didn't result in any more information on who actually did the vocals for Patti Day. Patti Day isn't a singer, it's a production. Written by A Forbes and M Zager. Mastered by the Legendary Herb Powers. But somehow they fail to mention the singer.
Um, I did the mix on this - it's mostly overdubs. The bass is so amazing because I sampled a 50 inch parade drum which actually becomes the bassline. I blew four big studio monitors testing the parade drum. I came up with the piano part while we were eating Chinese food. My only regret is that I didn't make it longer. Mixed in Room C, top floor Electric Lady Studios. Look at the label. I'm Bruce.
Sad story really. Right Before My Eyes was killing it worldwide and the label owners wanted to meet me. We met at a NY restaurant, where they discovered me, a skinny white boy, who was resident DJ at Better Days 5 nights a week for nine years. Black gay crowds (which BD was) were ALWAYS the most fun, they had amazing energy and really didn't care what color anyone was. The fact I was a straight white boy was irrelevant, I made them dance till they passed out on a huge sound system every night. They learned to trust me, that I would rock them every single night. I did my best and it seemed to work pretty well, as we were packed every night. So these "southern boys" who owned the label freaked when they met me, yelling nonsense that white people couldn't make urban records. I invited them to see Better Days and pointed out my discography of about 400 mainly proto house tracks by that time. They refused and hired some white pop DJ to produce Patti. I never even heard it, and she never released another record. Fucking racists.
Just absolutely love when the piano drops...right before my eyes is an absolute banging tune...superb..
Timeless piece of music
Probably 1 of the GREATEST HOUSE TUNES OF ALL TIME 😎
Agreed!
