The notion of house music as a form of up-tempo soul music is intrinsic evidence with a record like the one on hand.
Professor Supercool
's
If You Love Somebody
is many things at once: an example of a special brand of British pop music, influenced by US-American soul more or less from the get-go, the Second Summer of Love, the conception of Balearic as a music genre, the cultural interchange of European dance floors and DJs from across the pond and underground music marketing through the vessel of special one-time pressings. The mysterious Professor Supercool is actually a moniker for
Dr. Rob
of
The Blow Monkeys
' fame, who produced the song with a veteran and legendary DJ of the Northern Soul scene
The Real Hector
, a resident at the famous Wag Club. Originally a part of the band's album
Spring Time For The World
, it appeared first as a special For-Promotion-Only-12" in 1989 with limited information as a trial ballon to "avoid preconceptions." The fear was without reason. Like the band's other big dance floor record and Balearic fave
LA Passionara
a year later, it got played and supported by the DJs of its time. Next to
Graeme Park
at the Hacienda or
Paul Oakenfold
, it also got picked up by Mastermixer
Tony Humphries
and became a staple at his radio and club sets for KissFm respectively Club Zanzibar. While the vocal mix found its way on said album, the preferred 12" instrumental version has never been released anywhere else up until now and made the record go for a substantial amount of Discogs dollars. Expanded with an edit by the label's in-house DJ
Gerd Janson
that is supposed to work as a dub alternative to the vocal mix, the 12-inch and bundle download contain the original plus a faithfully restored and remastered version of the instrumental in demand. If you love this record, it is impossible to let it go.
