Up Against It From The Very Beginning
Tara Butler - Up Against The Wall [ILL 4412 UK 1984 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC] Up until its demise, Illuminated Records were responsible for some fantastic indie dance 12" singles. There were the obvious mini-hits by 400 Blows and 23 Skidoo, but Up Against The Wall is a fantastic and strangely now the most forgotten Illuminated Records release. I've no clue who Tara Butler is/was, save for her vocals on Electra's Italo disco fave Feels Good , but this 12" features production and instrumentation by then in-house musician/producer Simon Boswell, who went on to much greater things. This pounding hi-energy indie-electro-pop dance number comes in two mixes with the superb Up Against The Version bounding into Colourbox territory. Should have been a hit! Those who appreciate the splendid Heavy Duty Breaks album will be very familiar with these beats. A1 Up Against The Wall B1 Up Against The Version
