Gimme some love - Gina G

After Gina G represented the United Kingdom with 'Ooh aah... Just a little bit' she released an album called Fresh, from which several singles were released. Most of them didn't appear on vinyl, however, which makes this particular 10" single a bit of a rarity. 

'Gimme some love' was released as the final single from the album on 25 August 1997. This one-sided promotional 10" single features one of the remixes of the song, created by Hysteric Ego. While writing this piece I found out a 7" single also exists, so who knows... you might see it on this blog soon!

Where do I go - Marissa Nadler / Happy Rhodes

The name Happy Rhodes may not ring any bells with you, dear reader, but for me she is a true legend. I discovered her during the early days of internet, way back in 1993. She was presented as the American version of Kate Bush in the newsgroups devoted to the British legend. At that point, Happy had already released six cd's, which I bought within a couple of months. (The record shop Fame in Amsterdam had a good supply back then!)

Although Happy hasn't released any new music in years, she recently toured with Security Project, performing songs by Peter Gabriel, and indeed a couple of Kate Bush songs as well. The record company Numero Group released a compilation of Happy Rhodes tracks in 2018, and that was the final release by her - or so I thought. 

I was browsing Discogs last week and found this single. It was apparently released in 2024 and features two versions of 'Where do I go' - a track from Happy Rhodes' second cd. It is not one of her best tracks ever, but a nice taster if you've never heard her. The song was covered by Marissa Nadler - and both versions appear on this 7" single. Funny enough, this is the only 7" ever with a Happy Rhodes song on it!
