Great remixes and the cover of Boots is great. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! What a nice surprise to see an Apollonia post on here. I love this track and I think it’s quite a rare gem to see a 12″ post anywhere on the internet. So thank you very much for sharing this with us. 🙂
Oh wow, this looks tasty! Thank you DJPaul!
🙂 Love These Boots version. Thanks dear Paul.
Thanks, Paul! This is another example of a track that seemed to chart well (nationally) but I have never heard of it. It sounds like a club-only song…something we would never hear on the radio. It did peak in mid December after 10 weeks…so that also explains a lot: most songs released after October 15 pretty much don’t do well…whether that is charting or sales.

I remember this track being a huge floor filler track that really pumped up the energy on the dance floor. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge Fred it is appreciated 🙂
Fred, again, I love that you’re here to comment on Paul’s postings. You have such a knowledge and all and you’re a fantastic writer. Cool that you used to work at Columbia/Sony promotions. I somehow knew that you did have a history in the music business. Your input is so important on so many levels. I always think of the potential Paul’s Burning The Ground has on those who work and/or have worked in the music industry. In my humble opinion, Paul’s work is making its impact on future releases and inroads to high quality compilations. Thank you Fred for… Read more »

As always I look forward to your posts, and increasingly a great surprise, thank you for the work and affection with which you dedicate to show us more and more songs, many I did not know and others I did not own, and now because of you not only me but everyone who likes music can now enjoy it!
Thanks again! Big hug!
Marcello

You’re welcome, Marcello. Your English was perfect 🙂 Big Hug
Love it!! I always care about songs that got very close to the top of the dance charts. Just Awesome. And of course there are Thompson & Barbiero mixes which make it extra, extra, EXTRA SPECIAL!!!
