the "hey hey" vox samples in A1 Odyssey are from The Art Of Noise "Close (To The Edit)" from 1984

I love reading these comments! I the first time I heard it, in an O. McMillan mix, stopped washing dishes and just stood stunned looking at the tape deck. I too had to get 2 copies. And to just (2025) find out it was a sample from Ashford and Simpson.

When I first found this record in a store in London, I was jumping for joy at the listening station. I had heard it before but didn’t know the name. This was before Shazam, lol. Is in my top 5 house tracks of all time. I bought a second copy just in case. Thanks MAW!

Still loving this also. Bought it brand new in '98, and still enjoying it today in the UK

Imagine walking into a dance floor with an open ceiling, and the Manhattan skyline is above you, clouds sunset pure bliss people around you and this song is playing... that’s what I feel and see inside.

An awesome "12 everyone loves Odessey and its great track. It's all about "I'm ready for me" Deep!! A quality piece of vinyl.

Hearing this snake out of the speakers at small, intimate clubs back around 2000 was something special

Don't think it would work at big, open venues somehow though

When you enter heaven Odyssey will be playing and you see a film of your life in fast motion with the good the bad and the ugly of what you lived. Then in the end of it all you understand it was really not a big deal because now you are in heaven. You made it! Odyssey.

Bought it on vinyl in ‘98 in Amsterdam. Sounded great at that time. Still sounds that great. Keeps coming back to me.

Feel in love with this back in 97 with Cevin Fisher's DMC Mix.
