Ride On Time – Black Box (1989)

An individual, limited edition, example of vinyl record art made from a genuine, original, 45rpm, 7” single featuring the song, Ride On Time (Remix)  by Italian group, Black Box,  from 1989. The record was released on the Deconstruction record label, in the UK, and has been reworked into the shape of a traditional alarm clock.

Ride on Time was written and produced by the Italian production team Groove Groove Melody, consisting of DJ Daniele Davoli, programmer Mirko Limoni and musician Valerio Semplici. The team worked with French model Katrin Quinol, who was the face and image for the group Black Box.  The song sampled Loleatta Holloway’s 1980 disco hit “Love Sensation” (written by Dan Hartman). The song’s title derives from a sample of Holloway singing the lyrics “Thank you baby, ’cause you’re right on time”.
