With Song And Dance’s and Daniel’s reviews, I can’t wait to listen to this record. I so love coming here to check out my old favorites plus all the obscure stuff I don’t know yet. It’s so wonderful to get “new music” that’s from my favorite decade, the nineteen eighties!! Thank you for broadening my musical horizons Paul. Thank you! Thank you!!

You’re welcome Jeff this record sort of reminds me of Roxette. Hope you like it 🙂
Completely new to me. The song´s got something, I can´t help it. I´ve only listened to the radio version yet but as far as the music goes (synths and drums) this production could be in any kind connected to Michael Cretu´s band “Moti Special” which had three hits in Germany (Cold Days, Hot Nights; Don´t Be So Shy; and Stop, Girls Go Crazy, all of which are in my collection). However, I can´t find a connection. So it´s only in my head 😉
I´m looking forward to listening to the long version and the b-side track.
Thanks, Paul.
I think I like the b-side the best it’s got a nice hook that stays with you. Like I mentioned above it reminds me of something Roxette would have recorded. 🙂
What an amazing rip Paul! I just love this band. In 1988, they had a big hit here in France with “Johnny, Johnny come home”. “Wheel of fortune” was their 3rd single and it’s my favourite. So very happy to finally get this rip in pristine quality. This is exactly what makes this site so unique. Here we get the unexpected. I am always grateful for everything you do. Thanks a million Paul for giving Avalanche a chance to be discovered. You are THE BEST 🙂 🙂 🙂
You’re very welcome Daniel 🙂
Tks, I love “Johnny, Johnny Come Home” the remixes are very good
You’re welcome 🙂
