Abs' upcoming single Miss Perfect will be out on August 25. The DVD will include the much talked about track Spin which is a re-working of Dead Or Alive's You Spin Me Round with an added rap by Mr Breen.
Quote: ‘I’ve tried to veer away from sampling too much on the album but there were two tracks I couldn’t resist playing with’ says Abs. ‘I’ve re-worked Monie Love’s It’s a Shame and Dead or Alive’s You Spin Me Right Round (Baby Right Round). I didn’t know too much about Dead or Alive when I first heard the track, I just liked it, and hopefully what I’ve done with it gives it a new sense of life two decades on.
DVDTrack Listing:
1. Miss Perfect (video) 2. Spin (audio with picture gallery) Produced by Richard "Biff" Stannard and Julian Gallagher. Incorporating elements of "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" by Peter Burns, Stephen Coy, Michael Percy and Tim Lever. 3. Miss Perfect - Fresh Cut Remix (audio) 4.
