The Paul Simpson Connection - "Treat Me - Dubmental Mix" (Atlantic Recs 1985)

If you aren't familiar with the man, Paul Simpson was one of the producers who forged the New York House sound in the early to mid- Eighties. He's best known for the track "Use me, Lose me" (Streewise Recs 1982) which even that far back clearly had all of the elements that would soon be referred to as House music.

As usual, I'm going with the dub mix on the b-side which actually has a slightly different title from the vocal version on the flip, which was named 'Treat her Sweeter." Anyway, I'd call this an early House record, but some would call it Proto-House or even late Boogie. However you choose to label this nine minute plus track, enjoy the really great production which was a prime example of what a couple of years later became known as NY Deep House.
