Quote from Neil Rushton on it's release in late 2011: 'By arrangment with Vince Garcia of Drizabone, this is a re-release of the very first version of 'Real Love' which was released as a 500 only white label 12' in 1991. This was the debut version, featuring Sophie Jones, which got the support of KIss FM who created such a demand that Island/4th & Broadway signed the act. Sophie had other commitments and could not sign to 4th & Broadway so 'Real Love' was re-recorded twice for the label, once with Dee Heron and then with Kimberley Peer.We have done a 3.31 edit of the Sophie version,taken out the rap, and released the track for the first time on a seven inch single. Although this was recorded as a demo at Rondor, to many it is has always been the best version.
'Real Love' has always been one of those Modern Soul gems with a Northern Soul following, now it is even better. Label artwork is a replica of the original rubber stamp design on the original 12'.
