I still have no words to describe how amazing this piece of art is and as i sit here its 40 years old it could be released in 10,000 years and still sound fresh so raw so deep just an incredible song ❤️
First heard this at an illegal rave in Blackburn in the 80s…it was already a classic. Universally loved. It still sounds awesome all these years later.
Would you all believe I actually have this in my hands now from back then 1983…. House music until I die. I now have my son doing a report along with the record in school today.
Truly bizarre and beautiful all at the same time. Cold, warm, classic, and futuristic all rolled into one. Not being able to tell if it’s a dude or a chick on vocals, and the list goes on. A true CLASSIC
Jamie is most certainly a guy, he originally wrote this as a poem to either, his then-girlfriend or a woman called Lisa, I've heard both stories but am not sure which is true. :)
@@lebafo Principle's song is *about* a woman called Lisa, but early versions also featured vocals by a woman called Adrienne Jette. The verses in this version and the one on Trax are recognisably sung by Principle. I think Jette did the "I need your love" double-tracked backing vocals in the chorus.
First played in the clubs in Chicago in 1984. No label wanted then to release it. As Jamie said in an interview, it wasn't what the were looking for!! But then was one of the biggest hit in the clubs because it was a totaly different sound of what people used to hear until then! Nice post!
This tape was definitely circling around Chicago in 84, 85. In fact as a freshman at Southern Illinois University if you didn't have that tape you knew someone who had it and you begged them to to make you a copy.
This always takes me back to my years in high school, & to the old clubs we were in: THE HUMMINGBIRD, THE BISMARCK PAVILION, HEROES, THE CLIQUE, THE TASTE, THE MUZIK BOX, THE PARTIES AT LEO'S, & MENDEL, ETC. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ THE CRAZIEST & BEST THING IS: WE WENT TO SCHOOL WITH A LOT OF THESE LEGENDS!!!!
The first time I heard this song was at the candy store formerly known as the playground on Michigan ave in Chicago when Farley was mixing, I fell in love with it! House for life
I was just watching the documentary "The History of House Music", and just had to find the original un released version of this track! Thanks a lot for uploading it!
Hey thanks for putting this on here. This is my favorite. I always use this as a test for someone that says they are from Chicago. I play this song and watch their reaction. If they don't say 'HEY!!!!' then they fail the test.
"Your love" has been my favorite house track for the past 3 years. I never knew Jamie principle originally made this until I've finally done research. It's wonderful learning new things everyday
Jamie came to Knuckles and asked him to work on his tracks. FACT. No stealing involved. They used Knuckles name on the track to get recognition, more sales etc.
The first person to remix this track was a a young 18 year old kid. This kid met Jamie at a mall once and they talked about music. Jamie played this song for this kid and the kid asked Jamie if he could remix it and he said yes. This remixes the song reel-to-reel and takes to Frankie. Frankie played the this kids' remix on reel-to-reel for a whole year before Frankie re-records the track professionally.
wow! awesome! music was best in world in chicago during 1980s, now i can see why, these tunes are more popular than ever today. Back to old skool tunes, back to basics, music from 2000's lost its way
wow, I always heard there was an original version without frankie...I thought it was lost and never before thought to check this might be on here. Thanks for posting
ok, after reading the comments, I realise this still might not be the original. fuck sake. I wanna hear the tune frankie played for a year before getting involved... I dunno, maybe this was it? or maybe he hammered a remix (ie this tune?) or maybe there is the original original I still haven't fucking heard?
@@njclondon2009 i doubt anyone would find that “version”, as frankie re-recorded the remix he was given to by some kid given to jamie. i’m sure knuckles would’ve rather you just heard these two versions anyways
YES, THIS IS THE ONLY VERSION AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED, STILL LOVE IT NOW, IVE GOT ONE AND BLAST LOUD, GET LOST IN IT, SO SIMPLE BUT SO PERFECT, GOTTA BE LOUD AND DANCE, LOVE IT FOREVER!!!
For me, the perfect example of how one song can evolve in the hands of different artist of their craft. I hope it continues to evolve but this is the origin.
We always loved Jamie, we was listening to 'Baby wants to ride' an all sorts before Frankie got involved, Frankie listened to toons then said hey I hear this an I hear that then did something else with the music, we owe a lot too both, period.
This song was so sensuous & hypnotic especially if u were dancing with somebody who could go n2 the trance of this song. It was like making ❤️ on the floor seriously. 🙏 Frankie the warehouse & the power plant. Pure music & magic
Check out the four tracks he released on Cajual (released as Green Velvet presents Jamie Principle) or his single with Aeroplane or his single as part of 312 with Felix Da Housecat and Vince Lawrence all from the last ten years but yeah wish he was doing more.
This is the 1986 remix by "Mark "Hot Rod" Trollan" of the 1984 original version, very rare to find... the commercial and most well know version was released at the end of 1987 and was remixed by Frankie Knuckles for Trax Record. Now is clear?
I didn't find this version until today, I used to think the Frankie Knuckles version was the only one, until after I watched Pump Up The Volume, that it was OF COURSE a demo version back in 1984, Nevertheless, this version is one of the best house songs I've heard in all the 16 years of my life. People really need to hear this song today. It's just amazing.
This is a TIMELESS CLASSIC. So many different versions of this song were made. All in different keys. Some have clearer vocals. Others have harder hitting music, but it's kind of drowning the vocals. Too bad there was never one released with hard hitting music & the clearer vocals.
Nope. Principle ´s waiting for my angel was clearly an early track ranged under italodisco/hi-nrg style back in 1983. Saunders’ On and on was different, more personal, something that prefigured what was called two-three years later as acid-house music.
I believe it was made in the USA. Sounds very deep detroit old school style. Sounds like when the techno guys wanted to cool down with some piano and lyrics, so there they were with this kind of productions. So beatiful... I invite you to listen to Juan Atkins - Techno city. Best from Majorca.
This may be the original vinyl release, but it's not the first version. Jamie Principle has his original demo version, and it's possible that Ron Hardy also made an edit that was passed around on mixtapes too, both before this was brought out.
Brilliant tune, so so good. I'm only 23 myself but am addicted to all sorts of EDM, and the history, DJ and producers that made it all happen and how music progressed. This is awesome everytime I hear it, it's got more feeling than the new stuff. I'm just a bit confused about all the comments, wanting some clarification, is this the Original that Jamie recorded in his bedroom/basement on a tape or is this the first version that was remixed and released by Frankie?
No this is the first version to be released on vinyl. The original version that was recorded on tape I have never heard before. This version was remixed by someone called Mark "Hot Rod" Trollen and was released in 1986 on Persona Records. The Frankie Knuckles version/remix was released in 1987 on Trax Records
EVERYTHING about House comes from the NYC underground disco classics/gems that were played at the Gallery , The Loft & The Paradise Garage in the early 70's. When knuckles first moved to Chicago - he was playing everything that was had been played in NYC and he brought that to the Warehouse. Certain record stores in Chicago would put up signs in their windows saying we sell music played at the Warehouse (which were Philly international records, Salsoul and other New York based labels and NYC underground club classics) - which would later be shortened to " we sell House Music. Without Disco there would be no house . Disco is the Mother that gave birth to her child - house . Unfortunately Disco died (actually went underground) and Frankie Knuckles brought and preached underground NYC Disco to Chicago which in turn led to the upbringing of House . Knuckles put Disco underground and brought House to life . As influential and amazing as Knuckles was - there is one deejay that reigns supreme above ALL OTHERS , Knuckles close childhood friend who ended deejaying at the most important and influential club of all time. Larry Levan at the paradise garage.
i think you'll find that all these bass synth sounds originate form the use of the yamaha DX7, a piece of equipment used to death in the 80s as it was the first commercially popular synthsizer. Principle recorded this track using a 4-track recorder, what i'm assuming is a DX7 and his own live drum playing. Sorry if i sound like a complete freak, but i'm doing an essay on the 1991 version of you got the love and have found this all out on my little research stint!
I've always wondered who, in the original '86 version, added the arp sequence and the bassline, was it Knuckles even though he was uncredited or Jamie?

Never heard this before. Absolutely magnificent!
Anyone who loves dance should praise this!
Brings back a lot of memories of the underground club scene late 80’s & Ibiza

This track is supernova. It never ages, you can't get bored of it, it has the best bassline on the planet, and it makes you dance.
I had this when it came out. Was so pissed when it got stolen. Still am. Used to listen to it over and over and over. Love the grove.

By faaaaaaar the best version in its original release.
THIS BE THE PRINCIPLES OF DOPE,DANCE MUSIC Y’ALL
Wow. Not a fan of dance music, but I sat down for this, and before I knew it 9 minutes had gone by.
one of my favorite House sounds. Thank God for blessing you with your great talent!

Top Man for putting this up Chicagowax, most don't realise about the original that is Jamie Priciple.
I was thinking how much Sunsets by The Midnight sounds so much like this iconic beginning of a song.

glad I found this !! since the channel 4 doc about the history of house music...been after a decent quality version of this
simply the best. ever. no over statements. just pure. I'd love to hear that original if anyone can send the link. but this is perfect
Adam T This is the original apparently.
them early 80's, miss the rawness
Always was great 'rare' stuff. Ty for sharing.
I love this version more than the one Frankie released on Trax Records.
Same and I been looking for this one cos I remembered I used to have this one back in day but then the Frankie version over took it.
@@aestheticsbyjasmine940 You also get more of the female (Adrienne Jette) vocals and more of Jamie's vocals in this version.
This is a TIMELESS CLASSIC.
So many different versions of this song were made.
All in different keys.
Some have clearer vocals.
Others have harder hitting music, but it's kind of drowning the vocals.
Too bad there was never one released with hard hitting music & the clearer vocals.
I liked the version better.
All the version are incredible
This tune has signed a before and an after in house's history

From 4:55...... REAL CHICAGO HOUSE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A thought to the godfather of the House sound. R.I.P. Franky Knuckles. Here at Jamie Principle, his menthor.
House, EDM and we thought you came from NY
****bowing down to chicago*****

When knuckles first moved to Chicago - he was playing everything that was had been played in NYC and he brought that to the Warehouse. Certain record stores in Chicago would put up signs in their windows saying we sell music played at the Warehouse (which were Philly international records, Salsoul and other New York based labels and NYC underground club classics) - which would later be shortened to " we sell House Music.

Thanks ! I was looking for this, and I am so glad I found it ! Frankie Knuckles did a good job with the remix, but this version stands on it's own.

was jesse saunders really the first house record..???
ive heard this was kicking around on tape only in 1983 in chicago
I've always wondered who, in the original '86 version, added the arp sequence and the bassline, was it Knuckles even though he was uncredited or Jamie?
Miles Ahead Of The More Known Frankie Knuckles Version.
THE ONLY ORIGINAL HOUSE TRACK
@Xozona Considering it's been 26 years after the fact and they still don't notice it I highly doubt it'll be ruined. :)
This is the original WAX version... this is not the original club version of this track. This the commercialized version
