In January 1985 The Beloved emerged via a John Peel session (Produced by a very young Mark Radcliffe).They had a second session broadcast in October and didn' t release their first single, A Hundred Words, until early 1986.On the independent Flim Flam label they released a further 3 singles/eps, later compiled as an album, Where It Is.By autumn 1987 they had slimmed down from 4-piece to the original founding duo of Jon Marsh & Steve Waddington.Jon went to NY to pursue somelabel interest, meet some heroes - Mantronik, Latin Rascals & came back with a record box full of early house cuts. Within weeks he was tipped off by a friend abouta semi-secret party in a gymnasium in Bermondsey. He went searching and found Shoom.Having already shared the record box with Steve he took himto the club within a few weeks,knowing full well he would be equally enthused/entranced !Having just been signed to WEA , notionally as a poster-fodder pop group, the band experienced aseismic shift in direction. Their first attempt , Acid Love, was on promo 12" within months. Their secondhouse track was Your Love Takes Me Higher, first released in early 1989 with great club support but zero radio play.The third was Sun Rising, late summer that year which became their first hit single.The album, Happiness, a distillation of the fun & optimism & energy of the 88/89 (acid) house scene wasreleased in 1990 to great acclaim and YLTMH even got a second release and just scraped into the top 40 at #39!A remix album , Blissed Out, was released In autumn 1990, with a new recording It' s Alright Now as a single.Awoke is the most complete track from their last collaborative sessions.Jon continued recording as The Beloved with his wife Helena as co-writer/co-producer.Their first release in early 1993 was the single Sweet Harmony which was a major hit record worldwide.Both single and the accompanying album Conscience were their biggest selling releases.A further album X, with the single Satellite arrived in 1996.A re-released SunRising and a best-of, Single File in 1997.Then silence.Remixes as The Beloved, several releases under different names (on Junior Boys Own, & NRK),and a full time dj career until 2005/6.Still silence."I can' t split up with myself so i think of it as hibernation" says Jon.Until now.

Before reaching for the phone we do ask that you have a quick read through the following, just in case we can save you the keystrokes or the cost of a phone call.
We aim to dispatch the same day if orders are placed before 4pm Monday to Friday so anytime after this we can usually say that they are “on their way”. Depending on which delivery service you choose we may be able to track your records, please see shipping methods below.
Sometimes packages do go missing. We have to allow a certain period of time for us to be able to consider items lost.
UK – 15 working days.
Overseas – 28 working days.
While these may seem excessive, we have known items to take this long and it is only after these periods have elapsed that we can claim for compensation.
If you are able to add a record to your basket on the website then it is almost definitely in stock. Our website stock is shared with our physical shop and is updated constantly. However, sometimes things go missing or are sold in the shop at the same time as on our website. If we are unable to completely fulfil your order we will contact to let you know whether we might be able to source another copy of the record or whether we will have to adjust your order and payment.
