DJPaulT, Thanks for posting this rare Ant classic. I had an inferior 128k version I was looking forward to upgrading to your superior 320k version. However I realized after I downloaded it that the (Splashdown Re-Mix) doesn’t sound like the one I had. My version sounds like the instrumental here, with vocals of course, and is 7:17 in length which is close to the 7:20 time listed on the back cover. Since your version is 6:47 is it possible your vinyl features the wrong remix? I also listened to the Orbit Mix and that was not the one I had… Read more »
I love how you touch our lives Paul with these vinyl rips, all in exquisite fidelity. You are a blessed human being and sonic sorcerer. Thank you Paul!!!

You’re so welcome Jeff 🙂
A nice Adam Ant series! Thanks Paul.
You’re welcome Stefano 🙂
Wow Paul, a great double dose of Apollo 9! Thank you!
I only have the Orbit Mix on 12″ but not the Splashdown one. This was released during the last quarter of 1984 and I remember it debuting with Prince (Purple Rain), Bronski Beat (Why), David Bowie (Blue Jean), Freddie Mercury (Love Kills)and UB40 (If It Happens Again).
I love 1984! And I love BTG!
Thank you Ric 🙂
Er, OMG
You’re welcome NKelly 🙂
