Fox The Fox - Precious Little Diamond (Red vinyl) RSD24 (MV)

Record Store Day 2024.

“Precious Little Diamond” is a song by Dutch funk band Fox the Fox, originally released in 1984. The single peaked at # 5 in Germany and the US and became a hit in France, UK, Italy, and Belgium.

George Michael was a huge fan of the song and introduced the band to CBS Records in 1984. Dieter Bohlen from Modern Talking has been cited with this song as the inspiration for using falsetto choruses in his songs.

In 2013, the song was sampled in The Weeknd’s song “Wanderlust”. The Weeknd sampled the melody, the original chorus, and a part of the original lyrics.

This 12-inch includes the Shep Pettibone remix and Ben Liebrand remix. Its audio is remastered at Artone Studios and cut on 45RPM.
