This was released in 1989, think it was that year I saw them at the Leeds Irish Centre?

Son#2 keeps playing new stuff that samples the old Chicago House so it's still going strong

Yup. IIRC I was just starting to discover the stuff that would be pigeonholed as Detroit techno later, but at the time was all called house. Between this, and the new wave of hip hop and rap (genuinely different artists like Public Enemy appearing in the UK in the latter years of the decade) it was a great time for music.
Most of my favourites from the late '80s are slightly earlier though (e.g. Phuture's Acid Trax - I bloody loved that sound, and the stuff inspired by it, like Acperience & Higher State of Consciousness that came along later)
Sorry for yet another tangent, but Phuture's DJ Pierre picks his favourite acid tunes in this article;

John The Monkey has pretty much covered it off, first ones to come to mind were any Stone Roses from that year, most notably What The World is Waiting For, A Guy Called Gerald - Voodoo Ray, WFL by the Happy Mondays, Inspirals... Could go on, one of the best single years for music I can think of. De La soul, Soul II Soul, 808 State, The Jesus and Marychain, Primal Scream just so many great albums/songs released.

We've already had that one, pay attention. I took the time to check no one had already posted Holly Dunn or Vern Gosdin, sheesh...

Was this not released in 1990 ?
It could have been on a previous album mind you
