They Said...

Chakk - You / They Say [FON-T001 UK 1985 24-Bit FLAC]

Once upon a time, Sheffield's Chakk were the great new indie hope, after a Peel Session and a debut single on the Cab's Doublevision label, they formed their own Fon Records label and released the powerful hybrid-funk of You. Driven by Mark Brydon's sharp slap bass, elaborate electronics and the soulful voice of second singer John Stuart, their second single won praise from most quarters and secured a deal with MCA Records. The rest was history!

I bought this single on release at Rough Trade Records in Ladbroke Grove, London and it has seen a lot of play. After a great deal of cleaning, I am pleased to present an almost flawless rip.

The chosen sacrificial virgin dances herself to death....
