Originally pressed in tiny quantities and shared mainly among British DJs and soul insiders, this sought-after 12" has become a hidden classic of the 1980s. "What Does It Take" rides on a luxurious, slow-motion groove, blending smooth vocals, silky keys and a deep emotional core, while "Never Gonna Give You Up" steps up the energy with crisp drum programming, street soul attitude and an undeniable dance floor pull.

More than just a reissue, this release restores a forgotten chapter of UK boogie and R&B, perfectly capturing the warmth, sophistication and timeless charm of the era.
