Dina Caroll and Masquerade's "Set It Off"

One of my all time favourite tunes from the 80's is a tune called "Set It Off" by Masquerade which was released on Streetwave in 1984. I found out recently that the vocals were actually sung by Dina Caroll (originally from Cambridge). She signed for Streetwave in the 80's years before she had big hits with Jive/Zomba and AM-PM later on in the 80's and 90's.

Set It Off is a lazy early garage house tune which seems a bit boring to begin with, but soon builds into a very mature sounding groove with sax and other instruments entering the mix. It was the one in the red and white chequered cover. There were other versions of this tune about but I rate the Masquerade version as the best.
