DESCRIPTION:
1985 Soul Classic Gest TEh Frankie Knuckles Treatment - Also Inc Vocal 12" Original Mix - Take a much-loved UK soul gem, Loose Ends classic from ‘85 ‘Hangin’ On A String’ and hand it to the godfather of house, Frankie Knuckles to work his unquestionable magic and there was no doubt the result would be a slice of house music heaven. South Street Records unlock the vaults once again, reissuing this melding of transatlantic minds presenting a triple threat that sees both Frankie’s 1992 Club Mix and the elusive Classic Club Reprise sit alongside the Loose Ends Original 12 Inch Mix, on either side of a 12 inch.
Taking the best of London’s soul and coupling it with the heart of Chicago, the master Frankie Knuckles purrs this one out across the highways with a slung-back house interpretation of ‘Hangin’ On A String’. A bumping beat, punchy bass line and effortless percussive touches give the perfect platform for Loose End’s vocal dynamics to provide a power, emotion and sincerity often lacking in modern dance music.
Flip it over to find the Classic Club Reprise - straight up sunset business with Frankie side-lining the vocals to let the instrumentation sing with added trademark flourishes in true spiritual style. Finally, the Original 12 Inch Mix gets a well-deserved inclusion which, back in 1985 was a true game changer bridging a multiplicity of scenes in the UK with its use of drum machines and synthesizers whilst maintaining that pure soul vibe. A track that topped the US Billboard R&B chart, making Loose Ends the first ever British band to do so, it’s a UK soul classic drenched in drum machine hits, soaring synths and crunchy guitar licks that’s infused with an ‘80s electro style and a quintessentially London flavour.

Last FM Information on Loose Ends
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
There are at least three artists called Loose Ends.
1. Loose Ends (also known as Loose End) are a British R&B band that achieved several hit records throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s. The trio was formed in London in 1980, initially comprising vocalist and guitarist Carl McIntosh, vocalist Jane Eugene, and keyboard player and vocalist Steve Nichol. Despite enjoying success throughout the 1980s, both Nichol and Eugene left the group in 1989 due to personal differences.
McIntosh continues to perform and write new songs under the name Loose Ends with the 1990 line-up of Linda Carriere and Sunay Suleyman. In 2021, Loose Ends signed a new record deal with the British hip hop label Digital Jukebox Records to release new singles and albums.

2. Formed in Bexley Heath, Kent, United Kingdom, in late 1963, Loose Ends were fronted by singer Alan Marshall. By the time they secured a semi-residency at the Mayfair club, The Scotch of St. James, in February 1966, the group had signed to Decca. Their debut single, released in July 1966 ('Send The People Away' b/w 'I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore'), was followed by their soulful rendition of George Harrison's 'Taxman', which was released on 5 August 1966—the same day as The Beatles' version appeared on their "Revolver" LP. The band disbanded in the autumn of 1966. Marshall subsequently formed a new version of Loose Ends, with the help of a Croydon band called The Subjects, while keyboardist Roy Davies and bassist Dave Collman formed a rival line-up, almost inevitably called New Loose Ends.
3. Loose Ends was a hardcore punk band from central New Jersey, United States, influenced by the early to mid-1980s scene. Their debut EP, Cut Loose, was released in 2011. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
