Mary CLARK - Take Me I'm Yours

We can think of a fair few disco diggers who will be more than a little annoyed by this re-issue. Originally released on the obscure La Shawn label back in 1980, “Take Me I’m Yours” is widely considered to be one of Patrick Adams’ best productions. It’s certainly something of a dusty gem, with Mary Clark’s soulful, country-tinged vocals simply soaring over a reggae-tinged, string-drenched disco groove. It would have been nice to have seen original flipside “You Got Your Hold On Me” included, but it’s not a major issue; given the in-demand (and hard-to-find) nature of the A-side, we should be pleased it’s come back round again.
