We asked a bunch of our favourite artists, DJs and fellow music junkies to tell us about a special 45 they treasure. First up, we’ve got this Motown classic from The Aliens, John Maclean (pictured left)…
"I collect and DJ 45s so it's tough choosing one, (but I’ll plump for) THE VELVELETTES - NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK".
“I choose this because it deserves to be played loud and played from the original 45 cut, not a motown 30 tunes per side compilation” says the ex-Beta Band keyboardist, “(It’s) extremely danceable, gets the ladies onto the floor (which then gets the men onto the floor), melodic and rhythmic in equal measures, my fave 45”.
The Aliens critically acclaimed debut album 'Astronomy for Dogs' is out now. Purchase it now here! For further information on the Aliens check out their website thealiens.co.uk. The Aliens are playing live in Manchester on March 16th, London (17th) and Glasgow April 10th.
