Back to archiveSpectrum – Takin' It To The Top (1981)
Forgotten Brit Funk with a small extra bonus: a YouTube reaction from the producer himself below the upload.
Language cluster
This archive piece now has a fixed Dutch and English URL.
The kind of track that is already enough on its own, but becomes slightly better when someone from the original creation history suddenly turns up below the upload.
Why uploads like this are gold
A tiny forgotten slice of Brit Funk, with a YouTube comment from — very likely — the producer of this track. That is exactly the kind of detail that intrigues: makers of overlooked work resurfacing years later under an upload to add one more anecdote.
It says something about the internet at its best: not as a noise machine, but as an accidental archive where music, context and creator commentary sometimes come back together.

Producer reaction below the upload
Comments below YouTube videos are often a mess, but every now and then you find exactly the one detail that warms a music lover's heart: a direct line to the maker of the track.
