History

In 1992, Aspinall and Morgan founded the independent dance label Fresh Records (not the post-punk label of the same name), initially for their own Lovestation releases.[3] The releases "Shine on Me" and "Best of My Love" were very popular in the clubs. Lovestation caught the music industry's attention in 1995 with their house classic "Love Come Rescue Me". Originally released in 1992, a re-release two years later in 1994 gave the song a moderate charting of #42 on the UK Singles Chart in early 1995. It wasn't till 1998 when the group had major success with a UK garage cover of Womack & Womack's 1988 hit "Teardrops" which reached #14 in the UK. Another single from 1998, "Sensuality", also made the UK Top 20, peaking at #16.
