Claudja Barry – Love For The Sake Of Love (Pete Herbert re-edit)
This superb re-edit of Cluadja Barry’s slinky ballad ‘Love For The Sake Of Love’ is lovingly reconstructed by the fantastic Pete Herbert. By simply extending the famous, much sampled intro (and sexy speaking bit), Herbert manages to create a mellow Balearic disco ballad. Nice and cosy! You can get your [...]
