It received wide support from people in the know like Red Greg, Danny Krivit, Folamour, Soul Clap, Kenny Dope and many others. The first pressing quickly sold out and the tracks were sounding strong on discerning dancefloors until, well, \"The Thing\" hit and everything stopped.\nDespite this, the record has continued to grow by word of mouth, and so we thought it would be wonderful to have a 7\" version with an edit or even a remix of the jazzy funky disco banger 'Doing Our Own Thing'. No one better than Dimitri from Paris for the job, one of the DJs who happened to tell us he loved the track. His two-part edit of 'Doing Our Own Thing' is a bomb that will make people dance for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lovemonk","offers":[{"title":"7\"","offer_id":50394628522315,"sku":"2056343","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_b2418451_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726445030"},{"product_id":"sweet-maybe","title":"Sweet Maybe","description":"\u003cp\u003eA modern soul number that fits today's disco sound, and on 45, what's not to love here!?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSweet Maybe\u003c\/i\u003e is a driving slice of sassy modern soul.
