{"product_id":"over-you-shining-through","title":"Over You \/ Shining Through","description":"\u003cp\u003eTop tier tackle from Heels \u0026amp; Souls Recordings for their fourth reissue as they let loose a much anticipated double header, Gold In The Shade’s 'Over You' backed with 'Shining Through'. Rough, tough, straight-from-the-heart ‘90s street soul, coming courtesy of TSR bossman Robert Roper and the Gold In The Shade ladies Arletta Davis and Sonia Johnson. One of the most sought-after cuts of this scene, it encompasses much of what made street soul special - heavy bass, gritty breaks, emotive chords and off-kilter vocals, marrying together to form a snapshot of a raw DIY scene with optimism at its heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe trio’s first single from 1990, ‘Shining Through’ is a no nonsense, bassbin-rattling love song from the underground, seeing long-term friends Sonia and Arletta pulling on the heartstrings from the mic as Robert works his magic behind the studio controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLovingly remastered from the DAT by Cicely Balston, if only ‘Over You’ had been so easy. Two years of endless searching for the tape and subsequently a clean copy of the record, Heels \u0026amp; Souls even went to the lengths of having the multitracks restored so that Robert could attempt to recreate the original mixdown in the studio – but the magic of ‘91, unfortunately, can’t simply be conjured at the drop of a hi-hat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter all but losing hope, Sean P (by way of Backatcha’s Aiden Leacy), came to the rescue with a mint condition copy of the record that he had from running in the same circles as Robert and Duval back in the day, ripping and restoring it with a precision he’s rightly famed for. And so (finally!) here it is: distorted samples, low-fi hits, speaker rumbling bassweight and all. Raw to the core, but that’s the point – pure, unbridled emotion from the depths of North West London.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFully licensed from Robert Roper, 20% of profits from Heels \u0026amp; Souls Recordings and Prime Direct Distribution will be donated to Lives Not Knives, a youth-led London-based charity, working to prevent knife crime, serious youth violence and school exclusions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heels and Souls","offers":[{"title":"12\"","offer_id":50486823321931,"sku":"2005187","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/li1_3_c5834e6a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727616132","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/over-you-shining-through","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
