Impressively, the packaging of Now 32 manages to spell Ricardo Da Force's name wrong no fewer than five times (back cover, disc label, back of the booklet, sleevenote and credits) and all this despite the fact that the typical publicity shot is replaced here by the single cover.
As the notes do correctly point out, this was the follow-up to the huge, 'Set You Free', which had sold over half a million - and that was only the first three times they released it! This track is a different sort of dance hit: as Mr Da Force explains during his rap, they "took a Bee Gees riff and broke it down like Kenco". Unsurprisingly, in the coolness stakes this makes the Shaggy record look like the Arcade Fire or something, but I have to admit I always rather liked it. It's not a record I'd want to make myself listen to too often, but it usually raises a smile, much more so than a lot of dance records that are supposed to be better.
Incidentally, my brother had this track on the non-canonical Now 1995. The notes to that credit the session singers, one of whom is also credited on 'Fighting Fit' by Gene. And that's the only chance I'll get to link to that track on this blog, tenuous as it is.
