Makin' Time - Countdown Records to release original versions (produced by Dennis Greaves & Mick Lister) of Honey / Take What You Can Get on 7"

 

Countdown Records are proud to announce the release of the label’s first 7-inch single in over 30 years.

And what could be more apt than the single that never was by label favourites Makin’ Time.

Produced by The Truth and 9 Below Zero’s Dennis Greaves and Mick Lister this was to have been the West Midland group’s debut single for Countdown. Featuring the group’s original line-up it remained unreleased when that line-up changed and Countdown’s parent label Stiff decided in a change of direction which aimed the group at the pop charts.

Featuring two highlights of their early live set the Fay Hallam composed Honey, and Take What You Can Get which was written by Martin Blunt. 

This release is available in limited edition honey coloured 7 inch vinyl in a unique Countdown sleeve which is exclusive to this release. This release is strictly limited with only 250 copies pressed with more available on black 7 inch vinyl.

Release scheduled for 30th April 2021
