Grazieeeee!!!
ok soooo.. the (Splashdown mix) is…Francois Kevorkian ?
I think I got that right
Was thinking the same Dst. Don’t think it’s William. http://www.discogs.com/Adam-Ant-Apollo-9-Orbit-Mix/release/983185 Hi Paul, thanks for this. Awesome. Any chance of the Splashdown remix 12″ and possible 7″? Would be amazing to put all 3 U.K. vinyl versions onto one CD with your amazing treatment. Great B Side too of course led to the awesome official compilation ‘B side babies’ and the Bootleg only follow-up ‘B side babies volume 2’
