Asia Blue - Escaping 1992

Atomic Records WNRT 882
Photobucket

This song has been performed by several artists, including Dina Carroll in 1996, but Margaret Urlich's version, included on her 1989 album Safety In Numbers, seems to be the earliest. I don't have that album so I can't check the writing credit but Asia Blue credits "Written by B. Blue / R. Smith" whereas Dina Carroll's includes "D. Carroll / N. Lowis" As Barry Blue seems to be the man behind Asia Blue, I guess he is B. Blue and one is left to assume Dina re-arranged something?

The main version is a Steve Anderson Remix for the Disco Mix Club but the Sleeping Giant Mix is my fav.

  1. Thanks for this version!

    Barry Blue apparently had some solo singles in the 70s.

    Better known as a songwriter, he is the man behind 5 Star "All Fall Down" and Toto Ceolo's " I Eat Cannibals" (!!!)

    Barry is also the man behind dance outfit Cry Sisco!'s "Afro Dizzi Act" in 1989(remember that?)

    You're right about the Dina and Nigel extra credit bits...I think they added some additional lyrics.

    Cheers!

  3. Afro Dizzi Act is produced by Uno Hoo, You Know Who, yes Barry Blue. It's rather scarey, Barry Blue recorded an awful song called Dancing On A Saturday Night back in '72. He would fare better incognito and yet it turns out he has been involved in a some very credible releases?

    I hope you found Steve Anderson's Tafuri mix then?
