Hi DjPaulT. the link is broken. can it be reuploaded again??? From already thank you very much
DjPaulT,
So much to say as I think we may have been brothers in the DJ world (more on that later). For now, along the subject of Ms. Carlisle, I have the original 12″ Gold Vinyl of “Band of Gold” featuring Freda Payne on I.R.S. This came out in ’86 (when I was playing the clubs) and is in mint condition. It features an “Extended”, “Dub”, and “Single” mix. I’ll soon be ripping it to FLAC. I’ll catch up with you on other related items as I’m still in awe of the work you’ve done here! Cheers!
G-man
Do you happen to have the 12″ of HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH?
I’ve just watched the SAN JUNIPERO episode of BLACK MIRROR and I can’t stop thinking about it!
Thank you for your consideration!
This is such a fantastic 12″… thanks so much for posting it. I’m updating my copy for BlackLight Radio right now!!! (I don’t even have to look at whatever my previous source was to know yours will sound better!)
Have fun at ONJ!!!
WOW PAUL thanks for this rare treasure. The Instrumental and single edit are unique to this release. Hugs Marc
You’re welcome Marc 🙂
Hi Paul, I sure hope you’re not feeling weak!
How was your latest checkup? Everything OK?
And with that ONJ concert coming, I’m sure you’re in the best of moods!
I hope you’ll have a blast becoz you so deserve it!
Hi Ric my last check up went well. I actually got to have the heart monitor removed until after I go out of town to see ONJ. They said if everything looks good on the info thay get that I might not have to wear it for the remaing two weeke. So greeat news 🙂
This was the only BC song I ever liked ..Belindas VERY best song tho (imho) is (the unreleased) ‘I feel free’ (extended version)
Isn’t the extended version on the 12″ vinyl single? I know “I Feel Free” was the album’s 4th single in the US and charted very low (#88), but I do know there was a 12″ single for it.
Yup, I got that 12″ of I Feel Free, but as a B-side of one of her latter UK 12″ singles.
Thanks! My favorite Belinda moment (but I also love her neglected “Live Your Life, Be Free” collection.)
You’re welcome VanceMan 🙂
Many thanks for this one, Paul! When this song was out, I was on a major Belinda Carlisle kick because of her previous single, “Heaven Is A Place On Earth”, which is one of my all-time favorite songs, and I watched the Hot 100 with anticipation as this song moved up the chart. Needless to say, I was very disappointed when it peaked at #2 (behind Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up”). After not scoring any #1’s with The Go-Go’s, I was hoping she’d pull off two #1’s in a row with this song, but I guess it was… Read more »
You’re welcome Dan. My favorite Belinda album was “Runaway Horses” and I have to admit I liked Rick astley’s track better but this is a great track 🙂
I hope this post isn’t another double entendre.
I doubt it this week Christian. I’ll be gone Wednesday and Thursday for the Olivia concert in Norman (Oklahoma City).
Glad to hear it! I’ll think of you and your concerts as I go to see Madonna this Saturday and Sunday in San Jose, CA. Have a great time!
DjPaulT, thank you so much for posting this. This is one of my favorite Belinda Carlisle songs, love the video too! Belinda is one of my favorite singers! I was lucky enough to see her live here in Vegas last month. A great show. Thank you so much for posting these tracks!
You’re welcome Chris. She was here in Tulsa a few weeks ago with the Go-Go’s but I wasn’t able to go 🙁
Woot! I just got weak after seeing this post. One of my favorite Belinda Carlisle tracks. The 12″ instrumental version is such a rare gem IMO. Thank you very much Dj PaulT for this post.
You’re welcome MusicdivaSF 🙂 Only two more days until I go see ONJ 🙂
How exciting! Have fun at the concert Dj PaulT. 🙂
Thanks for post!
i love Belinda Carlisle , my favorites are Heaven is a place on eart and the Justin Straus Remix of summer rain.
You’re very welcome Drake 🙂
Another excellent choice, Paul.
BELINDA CARLISLE’s unmistakable voice is always a good surprise. If there’s more remixes, keep’em comin,… \o/
And by the way, I’m looking for BRYAN ADAMS’ “The Bryan Adamix”, a medley by Sanny X that was issued on an E.P. that also featured “Somebody” and “Diana”. Do you have that one???
Greetings from Brazil…
Hi Juliano. Yes I do have that Bryan Adams 12″. I’ll have to find it and see what kind of shape it’s in. I havn’y played it in years 🙂
Oh, great news, then…
I’m sure it’s gonna be “playable” enough for you to rip it and post it here… LOL
Thanx for the usual attention, mate 🙂
