Intimate Connection/Tonight’ by Kleeer on US 7″ is one record that’s been in-demand in recent times and has seen it’s value soar in price. In our opinion ‘Intimate Connection’ is one of the smoothest of cuts of the early 1980s and that has a groove that glides effortlessly with great ease. For us in the shop it epitomises the changeover sound from full live bands to electronic based recordings with the amazing Deodato at the production helm overlording the groups synthesisers &amp; drum machines. On the flip with ‘Tonight’ the jam continues with great aplomb and features it’s distinctive vocoder lead.
