Regina James – Dancin’ In The Flames Of Love

Analogue Remastered | Black Vinyl Version | Tip-On Sleeve | Limited Edition 200pcs

If youre in the middle of a soul searching effort, were more than willing to point you in the right direction! ReGrooved has taken it upon itself to rerelease an otherwise lost treasure called Dancin in the Flames of Love by Regina James. This record first saw the light of day back in 1978 and was never reissued on vinyl.

Not only was this album the only one ever released by the singer, it seems that security has claimed her ever since. Only three singles under her name have come forth, one standalone 7 called Gee Wiz Boy backed with My Man Is Coming Home followed by Alfie/Dancin in the Name of Love in support of her album. After the Maxi-Single My Love (Aint Gonna Never Let You Get Away) again using Dancin in the Name of Love for the B-side she has literally vanished from any and all charts.

Her legacy lives on, though. Apart from the obscurity that surrounds both the record and its performer, another important detail makes this disc an important collectors item. For it seems that Regina James was a protg of none other than legendary songwriter, producer and vocalist Clarence Reid, who actually became (in)famous through his controversialXXX-rated stage persona Blowfly!

Many of the songs on Dancin in the Name of Love were written by him including the title track. Catchy soul, funk and disco rhythms are given an extra dimension by various synthetic sound effects and James sultry vocals. She often uses narration to introduce a track and ease the listener into the subsequent grooviness.

Enjoy this formerly lost treasure!
