Day 3.....
Rockers Revenge Ft Donnie Calvim - Walking On Sunshine
(Original 12 Inch Version)
Oh how I love this 12 Inch Single, I first heard it in a
local pub when it was played by a DJ, the beat and the synths had me hooked
immediately, quite simply one of THE greatest Disco 12 Inch records I own.
Rockers Revenge was a project set up by producer Arthur
Baker, it was a short lived affair as they only ever released 2 singles,
“Walking On Sunshine” and “The Harder They Come” (another fantastic 12 Inch
Vinyl I own)
This is 9 minutes of pure disco heaven. The 12 Inch is
backed by an Acapella of the 7 Inch Version, the 7 Inch Single version and
“dub” version called “Rockin’ on Sunshine”, which is over 10 minutes long and
adds to the overall brilliance of this 12 Inch single.
The song was written by Eddy Grant, who released it as a
single in 1979, but it failed to chart. Rockers Revenge released their version in 1982 and fared much better, as
the single reached Number 4, in the UK Singles chart.
