Hung Up - By Salt

Unknown · 1975
Recording

Recorded in 1975 by Salt for the album Salt, the track was produced during the group's brief recording career for the Gull label. The session combined funk rhythms, soulful vocals and tight ensemble playing characteristic of mid-1970s British funk. The recording became a standout cut on a highly regarded but commercially overlooked album. Its infectious groove and strong vocal performance helped establish the record as a favorite among rare-groove collectors. The track achieved cult status through the rare-groove scene and later attracted attention from DJs, crate diggers and sample-based producers. It remains the best-known recording associated with Salt and a sought-after example of British funk from the period.
