History

David Riley, a native of Jamaica, was a collaborator on remixes with artists such as R. Kelly and Fu Schnickens.[1] Jules Tulley worked as a session musician and television presenter, while vocalist Paul Barry was new to the music industry.[2] After the trio met in a London recording studio, they formed Dreamhouse and were signed to Trauma Records.[1] Their self-titled debut album mixed dance-oriented covers of 1960s pop songs with original compositions rooted in reggae.[3] The group's rendition of "Stay", the 1960 number-one song by Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs, was released as a UK single in 1995 and reached number 62 on the UK Singles Chart.[4] Three years later, "Stay" was released in the US as the album's lead single.[2][3]

The Asian release of their album slightly differs from the Europe/US version, as it contains more tracks. Included is the song "Sha La La" (originally by the Walkers) plus two mixes of the song; a mix of "Let's Live for Today" (originally by the Rokes), and the two extra tracks "Walk Like a Man" (originally by the Four Seasons) and "Lightnin' Bar Blues" (originally by Hoyt Axton).
