Hi DjPault: You have a very very nica Blog, i cant believe it, love it. Thanks for all.
If you can, please can Repost this 12″ of Adam Ant-Rough Stuff?
Would you happen to have the Manners & Physique single for Can’t Set Rules About Love with “How to Steal the World” as its b-side?
As well as the Room at the Top single with “Bruce Lee” as its b-side?
Thank-you.
If you like Adam Ant check out ‘Wonderful’ – a song from 1995. IMHO one of his best songs, and a nice contrast to his more up-tempo material. It’s on Youtube.
🙂
It’s on CD and is a truly great album. The B sides are incredible too.
Looking forward to hearing these Justin Strauss mixes. Thanks Paul 🙂
LOVE Adam Ant, can’t wait to hear this vinyl, thanks Paul!
Yes many thanks for my request. I could’ve waited another few days though 🙂 Can’t wait to hear all the mixes again in BTG quality!
I wasn’t sure if you were going to continue with the band, Then Jerico, Paul. Oh, really liked the song too. Thanks for introducing me to a fabulous song and mix.
It’s great to have another Adam Ant single added to the Burning The Ground discography/mix-ography!! You really help us collectors in our pursuit of favorite artists’ dance records with incredible fidelity. I’m really grateful Paul to you and what you do. You’re amazing!!
Jeff
This one had been requested a while ago so I needed to get it posted asap. I will continue with more Then Jerico in the future 🙂
Thanks Paul.
You’re welcome Omar 🙂
