NYC s legendary West End record label has contributed a fair few classics to the disco cannon and continues to influence dance music today with it s forward looking releases. When you touch me is no exception, recorded and released in the golden year of 1979 and featuring the breathy, sensual vocals of a young Tanaa Gardner who had previously worked as a backing vocalist for numerous other projects until the label released her (other) stone cold solo classic Work that body the same year on 12-. Both cuts featured on her self titled debut LP and boasted the combined production and studio talents of Kenton Nix, Bob Blank and of course - Larry Levan. Now, that s a serious line-up to have behind the boards (& in the clubs!) and of course When you touch me was a classic with it s slow, elongated intro that calls to mind a sleazier version of Donna Summer s Love hangover before launching into a full-on disco assault that you won t forget in a hurry! Yes, the record surprises you, Tanaa leads us into a false sense of a slow jam and then - Boom - We re off! Backed with the incredible instrumental version the 12- is repressed here in it s original 1979 glory, an essential classic that has stood the test of time for the last 30+ years & is now available again, remastered & repressed for 2017 in conjunction with West End Records, NYC.
