This release really sounds like a "classic" Human League track from this area, but with very very poor vocals only!

Sandie Shaw
Born Sandra Goodrich on February 26, 1947 in Dagenham Essex, England. She began her career in 1964 as a teen pop singer in England. Her cover of Burt Bacharach's "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" reached number 1 in the UK that year. She was noted for her imposing height, model looks and performances in bare feet. Her initial style of abrupt, jerky rhythms and plaintive ballads switched to a cabaret style vocal soon after her calypso inspired "Long Live Love" hit number 1 in 1965. She performed on television in the UK continually. The record label attempted to launch her as "family entertainment" after she left her teen years. This approach failed due to news reports of a seedy nature and a failed marriage to fashion entrepreneur Jeff Banks. She soon retired. Ms. Shaw was able to make a comeback in the late 1980s thanks to BEF (members of Heaven 17) covering "Anyone Who Had a Heart" and a duet with Morrissey (of the Smiths). Rough Trade released an LP on which Sandie covers Morrissey, the Smiths, and Jesus and Mary Chain songs. In 1991 a biography "The World at My Feet" was published.

Promo text from "Peppermint Jam":
MICHAEL LANGE discovered his passion for electronic music at an age of 13, when he became his first keyboard. After a while he bought his first set of turntables and so his equipment started to grow. In 1992 MICHAEL converted his parent's sauna into a little studio, where he began his first production work. Later on he released his first record called "Giant E.P"; under the project name "Altered States" released on Container Records. The project "Altered States" was also performing live on stage with an instant success.
MICHAEL LANGE has been DJing for the past 10 years now, he worked for a famous house club in Hamburg called FRONT. His reputation grew imidiately on an international level. 4 years ago MICHAEL LANGE team up with Boris Dlugosch to do remixes and production work for Peppermint Jam Records and other labels and record companies. As a producerteam they worked for international stars like Mousse T. ("Horny"), Mary J. Blige "Love Is All We Need", Lighthouse Family "High", Amira "Desire" ... - just to mention few.

Since that time MICHAEL set up a professional studio in Hamburg where he created his latest single "Brothers, Sisters". For this huge track MICHAEL LANGE used a sample from famous U.K. group Heaven 17, who were so excited about the track that they decided to use it on their next album.

At the moment MICHAEL is looking forward to shoot the video of "Brothers Sisters" - his first video ever - and also to receive his second gold record - this time for the remix of Lighthouse Family (he got his first one for remixing"Horny" from Mousse T. vs. Hot 'N' Juicy). But he still finds time for spinning records in German and international house clubs and promoting his own house party - the in the meanwhile legendary "Salvation Club" - which takes place every second Friday in the club Pleasuredome, Hamburg.
