Another Adventurous Shep Pettibone Gem ELEANOR

A very hot dance hit in 1987, Eleanor Academia's Adventure still sounds fresh today. It's no wonder Shep Pettibone had the magic touch. It does sound an awful lot like D Train You're the One for Me but you can't go wrong copying that. It was definitely one of the most solid dance record of the entire decade. The little bit of world vocals at the end are also a nice way to take the record out. Bet it sounded hot mixing that and repeating it loads before moving into the next hot number which would probably have been any number of classic early House gems.

So any word on Shep's club out in Asbury Park, New Jersey? I hear he spins most Saturdays.

SANDY BARBER is Sandy B THE BEST IS YET TO COME northern soul classic

Sandy Barber had her first release in 1977 with The Best is Yet to Come. It featured the theme for the Wonder Woman t.v. series. The l.p. has since became a Northern Soul classic and quite collectible.

It seemed like she just disappeared but then in the 90's she came back as Sandy B and became a hugely successful house/dance artist with two huge #1 dance hits in the U.S. Feel Like Singin' and Make the World Go Round.
