Frankie Knuckles featuring Jamie Principle – Your Love (1987)

My three followers will know I just love mid 1980s Chicago House.

A complicated tale about “Your Love” unfolds below. The impatient are invited to skip the waffle …. in the meantime, where’s my anorak. (By the way, does the phrase “anal retentive” have a hyphen?)

There are so many versions of this record knocking about …. the original release of “Your Love” was solely credited to Jamie Principle and came out on Persona Records in 1986 (see bottom of the post for the track). However, a new, improved version was put out in 1987 on Trax following a bit of twiddling from the legendary Frankie Knuckles.

However, the story continues because, also in 1986, The Source and Candi Staton released a pretty mainstream disco track called “You Got The Love”. In 1991, the vocals from this were fused onto “Your Love” to create the classic “Eren’s Bootleg” mix of “You Got The Love”.

Check below for the Frankie Knuckles tweak and the Jamie Principle original, then see the next post for the classic remix!
