The Saint Playlist

Words by Apiento
The Saint, Playlist, New York

Timothy Hartley Smith was a hardcore Saint goer. Week in week out. Loving the music played in that amazing looking nightclub. We posted the membership cards from his Flickr group a week or so ago but we also asked him for his Top Twenty Saint records. He came through massively. Who knew our Cliff (Richard) was smashing it on the dancefloor in NY.

Top Twenty


Hold On To My Love / Jimmy Ruffin
Robbie Leslie's signature song and probably the one piece of music everyone remembers when they think of the last time the walked out of The Saint. Heard him sing it live at The Saint.


Souvenirs / Voyage
Big glorious sound; Saint anthem.


Trippin' On The Moon / Cerrone
It's what we did dancing at The Saint.


Without Your Love / Cut Glass
Saint anthem...also expressed the feeling of the club to its members, the members to the club,the DJ to the dancer and the dancers to the DJ.


Night Rider / Venus Dotson
Wild ride; big echo'y sound in The Dome...and those strings...


Can We Try Again / Technique
Big sound; Saint anthem; every dancer's hope for another memorable night.


Make That Feeling Come Again / Boris Midney (Beautiful Bend)
Just gorgeous from beginning to end; every dancer's hope for another memorable night.


Follow Me / Amanda Lear
Musical invitation to go on a (drug) trip; mirror ball orgasm; the gong always had you imagining God taking a hammer to The Dome...it rocked the place...and Amanda Lear, I mean how could it not be.


Got You Where I Want You Babe / Stereo Fun
Big happy sound; very up; sounded amazing in The Dome.


Hills of Katmandu / Tantra
Saint sound all the way; trippy.


Lay All Your Love On Me / ABBA
Pure joy...the DISCONET was trippy especially if the applause at the end was played and it was the end of a set...another Dome filling joyful sound.


Love Pains / Yvonne Elliman
Big sound; early memory of The Saint; high mass disco; deep and dark just seemed to work inThe Dome, especially the bridge at about 4 minutes in.


My Pretty One / Cliff Richard
Reminds me of Michael Fierman; one of the best record pressings ever; sound just filled The Dome like a Beethoven symphony, especially when slowed down.


Give Me Love/Love is Here/Love Is The Answer / Cerrone
Pure joy; big sound; the string intro to Love Is Here was a siren call to the dance floor; high mass disco.


Never Ending Story / Limahl
Saint anthem; trippy...especially the bridge and again at the key changes; always signaled to me the music coming down.


Shockwave / David Knopfler
Saint anthem; the reference to subway riders resonated with all of us; great crescendo.


You Don’t Need Somebody New / Lotus Eaters
Another Fierman signature; later year classic.


Can He Find Another One / Boris Midney (Double Discovery)
Saint anthem.


There's A Way Into My Heart / Boris Midney (USA European Connection)
Pure joy; big sound.


Age of Reason / John Farnham
Only ever heard this at The Saint; sound just filled The Dome.
