Review: Rare Pleasure - Superfine Feeling (Ashley Beedle's NSW Rejig) [A's + Bees]

Originally released in 1977, Rare Pleasure's soul coated classic 'Superfine Feeling' was only ever pressed as an 'almost unattainable acetate' and easily fetched £400 on the vinyl market. Thankfully, A's + Bees makes the record much more accessible, as they launch their label with a repress of the creation. This marks the start of their mission to bring joy to our lives with a label focused on "highlighting double sided delights" and dedicated to - rather fittingly - donating 50% of the profits from each release towards the British Beekeepers Association.

Opening with the original, which really does give you a Superfine Feeling, I found myself hooked on those uplifting power vocals, disco fueled melodies and guitar jams. Flipping over the incredible Ashley Beedle, member of Black Science Orchestra and X-Press 2 to name just a few of his monikers, gives his take. Injecting a little more funk and instrumentation by highlighting those gorgeous guitar melodies, his version is guaranteed to get anyone up and loosing their inhibitions to the boogie.
