sorry for bothering you and thank you for your answer

Is it possible you are using an older version of Winrar? On my old computer the winrar was able to open the older files on the site but not the newer. I didn’t upgrade because I had 7-Zip which has been able to open the new files this year. So perhaps an upgraded Winrar or try another program like 7-Zip?
thank you – I will try
This year I upgraded WinRar to the latest version so that might be the issue. Like Greg said below try upgrading.
thank you – I will try 🙂
Welcome back from Holiday!
Thanks for the drop, but this is not my cup of tea.
People are being so NASTY lately. Why even bother to comment. Nobody is forcing you to download the song.
I was NOT being nasty. I didn’t download it. I happen to remember this particular track; as I am 52yrs old. I was simply saying it was not my cup tea but most importantly, saying welcome back to Paul. Have a super duper day Mr Marcus 👍🏼
OH MY GOODNESS! I have not heard this in forever! I worked at a record store when this came out and we had a promo Cd with the remix, album version and acoustic (I think it was) and the manager was a HUGE Wham!/GM fan and he was so annoyed at my self-made remix I did using the A-B repeat button on the store’s Sony CD player and splicing and dicing parts of the various versions together…I have my creation on a mixtape somewhere but WOW memories…always thought the cover of Chic’s Hangin’ should’ve been the single… Rolling Stone had… Read more »
I thought this was a pretty good effort by Andrew. But it is hard to move on when you have come from a phenomenon like Wham!
Uncanny, was just jamming Everything She Wants vinyl single rip.
Vinyl rules!
Yes, it does rule! 🙂
The Dream Academy – Please Please Please (UK 12″) re up please thx
I love how you remember the other half of Wham! I really enjoyed these songs from Andrew Ridgely even though they didn’t have the successes that George Michaels received for his solo stuff. Still, I do appreciate these re-rips Paul because your development of ripping music has grown by leaps and bounds. And Mr. Ridgely deserves another listen and in DjPaulT fidelity.
I am most thankful!!
Jeff
Thank you, Jeff 🙂
I do very much like this track and the album ‘Son of Albert’.
Naturally ‘Red Dress’ is a stand-out track with George Michael input.
I love it too 🙂
