WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
RICHARD JON SMITH: ‘Hold On’ (Jive JIVE T 104)
Joyously surging pop-ish 0-124½bpm chugger, plus the more soulful nice gently swaying Lillo-ish 112¼bpm ‘Hands Off (Don’t Touch)’, flipped at 33 1/3rpm by a much edtted 114-113¾-113½-111¾bpm extract from my old James Hamilton Megamix of his past material which was only ever available as a twin-packed bonus cassette in 1983. People always seemed to like the full length version, greatly padded to fill a C60, even though it was done on primitive equipment (one vari-speed, one non-slippable fixed speed!).
