As an aside... does anyone know where the piano line originated that was used on the Awesome 3 version ? It was also used on Shaft - Roobarb & Custard lol :D

Nice piano line mind ;)
Hey yeah both the piano line and a smaller melody (you'll hear it) is taken directly from K-AOS - Definition of Love (Original Kevin Saunderson Mix)

 
hmmm....... luv this tune but ye i do get confused sumtimes-i heard the paul waller original pin up bootleg of true faith-take me away and that blew me away,but since then i got hold of an mp3 that says 'take me away 1990' and i think this is pretty much the same:its the best simply cos its got the best version of the piano break(about 30/40 or so seconds long and cums in halfway or 3 quarters through the tune) fukin brilliant.

am liking all the others aswell tho especially the pinned down mix of awesomes 3's take me away and the dub.sweet mercy is good but nothing on true faith/pin up girls(on a seperate note ive got a tune from the 'pin up boys' called first rhythm,its last rhythm with always there pella pretty much-anyone got ne info on this.

Some cheeky detector work to share 🔍 - this is the original source of the pin-up girls bootleg (the one with Sting on the flip) - it's another issue of Grand Piano with a Sweet D - Thank Ya edit on the b side... along with....... :drum: Take Me Away - and it's from 89!!!!

Makes total sense as Grand Piano was just a mega mix mash which is what Take Me Away is... piano from Kaos - Definition of Love, bassapella from True Faith...
