OH WOW!!! I had this vinyl but not in this quality! This 8 minute version is really in my top ten of all those 20 plus thousand tracks I have from this era. Mind you DjPaulT, in case you did not know and you would be looking for a digital superquality (I know I know, nothing compares to vinyl but..) – it is right here,

Most known for their ballads, Secret Lovers and Always, but I also love their upbeat side…Circles and this are both excellent.
Thanks for these AB mixes, Paul.
Valentine doesn’t have to be all syrupy and saccharine indeed!

Hey Paul, I see you’re reved-up for Valentine’s Day already!! Excellent choice my friend. And of course, there’s Arthur Baker doing the remix with Edits by Gail “Sky” King. You’ve made me so happy today for this single Paul. I was feeling a bit blue, but you always have a knack to cheer me up with your fantastic musical selections.

Cheers!

Great choice, great post.

I always like the other single from that album too: ‘Always’. Very strange that the album version/extended version was shorter than the instrumental version (on the B-side). Hope you get to see a chance in the future to post that single too!
