First official reworks of the disco/jazz-funk masterpiece "Trip To Your Mind" -- now available for the first time with a picture cover featuring a classic shot of composer Reginald Hudson on the front. For decades, "Trip To Your Mind" was celebrated as a Brit Funk classic, though its true origins remained a mystery. While recorded at London's Advision Studio, Hudson People were neither local nor British -- a fact first uncovered with its official 2022 reissue on Backatcha Records. In interviews with label owner DJ Scientist, Reg Hudson revealed that the backing band behind his composition was Body Heat, a GI group based in Germany. The recording, believed to date back to around 1977, remained shelved for some time. By the time it was finally released in 1979, Body Heat was on the verge of disbanding, leading to the track being credited to Hudson People. Since then, "Trip To Your Mind" has been heavily bootlegged and compiled since the late '90s, cementing its status as an in-demand classic. For this rework release, the A-side features a brilliant DJ-friendly edit by Delfonic, based on the original "Hithouse" mix. Delfonic's masterful editing ensures the track keeps listeners engaged until the very end. The B-side features a rework by Italian DJ and producer Luca Trevisi, aka LTJ Xperience. His version is based on the Ensign remix of "Trip To Your Mind" by Chris Hill and Robbie Vincent. The new mix was mastered by Frederic Stader on an EMI TG124 -- an iconic mixing desk, famously used at Abbey Road Studios. Both edits preserve the psychedelic essence of the original while making it more compatible with modern listening habits. Pressed on a high-quality, loud-cut 12", this release is a must-have for any DJ's collection.
