Loose Ends – Hangin’ On A String – 12″

Put simply, Loose Ends’ 1985 hit ‘Hangin’ On A String’ is not only a peerless UK soul classic, but also one of the greatest boogie-era dancefloor cuts full stop. You should really already own a copy, but if you don’t, then this South Side reissue should be on your shopping list. Not only does it contain the band’s brilliant original extended mix (B2) – a sing-along gem rich in hazy organ sounds, jazzy guitar solos and bustling electro-era beats – but also two celebrated 1992 remixes from Frankie Knuckles. Both are amongst the late, great DJ/producer’s finest remixes, with the more instrumental and impeccably loved-up ‘Reprise’ version, in which Knuckles builds gently before eventually unleashing chorus vocals, being our pick of an incredibly strong pair.
