Colonel Abrams - Trapped (12-inch Version) (Vinyl 12-inch Maxi-Single | EU Original | 1985)

Colonel Abrams – Trapped is a mid-80s club classic: the 1985 song combines soul vocals with cool synthesizers and a groove that paved the way for garage house and dance-pop. The European 12" maxi on MCA offers both the radio and the long dance versions – each as vocal and dub versions, plus an a cappella take.

On offer is the original European pressing from 1985 on MCA Records (258 896-0).
