Souled Out - In My Life 1992

Columbia Records 657836 2

1991 introduced those of us fortunate enough to be in the right place, to the wonderful vocals of Sarah Warwick singing Shine On for Souled Out. The following spring this beauty dropped and although our Sarah isn't credited, I've always assumed that she's singing In My Life too. The collective known as Souled Out (a.k.a. Sold Out) comprised of Alessandro Sommella, Domenico "GG" Canu, Ricky Rinaldi and Sergio Della Monica. You may be familiar with some of their later work on the global clubland dancefloors. Hondy (No Access) and the mighty Planetfunk (Chase The Sun) being the most well known to me.

The version of Shine On included here is a club mix by Joey Negro (a.k.a. Dave Lee) and although it's a credible club mix, the Andalucian Mix on my 12" is far superior IMHO. I'll post it when I come across it. Souled Out released an album 'Shine On' in 1992 which I have never been able to find.

  1. Hello mate,

    I've been trying to track down a copy if "In My Life" for years.

    I followed the link for downloading but not sure how it all works.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers.

  2. Pretty straightforward dude, click on the link, it opens in another window. Follow the instructions.

    1. type the letters in the box
    2. watch the 45 second countdown
    3. click on 'free download' button
    4. Pop up choose 'save to disc'

    The next bit requires you have Winrar installed. Like Winzip but better. Find it free here.

    Double click on the file and it should extract itself?

    Enjoy!

  3. Hi Mickey,

    Got it - thanks!

    In the early 90's I recorded a lot of shows on cassette from two pirate radio stations that were operating in Huddersfield - Curfew FM and Jive FM. I have around 80. It was on a Jive FM Sunday morning show hosted by Easy G that I heard "In My Life". I hauled out my box of tapes recently to convert to mp3 and couldn't find the track. I have a lot of fantastic soul stuff to convert in the coming weeks and months.

    Intertsingly, the version of "In My Life" that I have recored was different to those you've uploaded. A little sparser at the start and builds up to a crescendo - it really was awesome.

    Anyway, thanks for uploading.

  4. I'd be interested in hearing your radio rip sometime. I have another 12" of Shine On somewhere. The Andalucian Mix if I remember rightly. They are so damn soulful, classy production and everything. It's hiding away with Soul Family Sensation and some others that I can't put my hands on at present. When I find it, up it goes. ;-)

  5. Hi Mickey,

    Unfortunately I cannot find the tape with the other version on it and I'm gutted. If it does turn up I'll let you know.

    I did have a 12" copy of "Shine On" once but that got lost years ago. Sigh!
