THANKS! GREAT SONGS! THANK U AGAIN & FOREVER! 🙂
I was looking for the Dub version for years, even considered buying a rare Phillipine cd which has this track on it, but I forgot to look here. And guess what it has been on this site all that time after all!
Thanks!
This looks interesting. Thanks Paul 🙂
Thanks so much for this one Paul. I have the 12″ too, but never got around to a rip, and have been playing a bad rip of the extended mix that I got from whoknowswhere. I really appreciate it. 🙂
What a cool story Goodguy 🙂
Dj PaulT,
Thank you. Thank you very much for this post. I don’t if I ever owned any of Belouis Some’s album but I love the singles and remixes that were released especially this one. I remember owning a various artist cassette with this mix and Natalie Cole’s ‘Pink Cadillac’ C&C mix. there are just memories that sticks with you.. and this mix is one of them. Take care and hopefully you’re having a nice weekend. 🙂
You’re welcome my friend. Sorry for the late reply 🙂
Yes! I love you posting these Belouis Some singles.
Any chance for Target Practice?
You’re the best! Thanks a lot!
Cheers!
You’re welcome Love. Sorry don’t have that one at this time.
Don’t know this one. Voice sounds a little OMD to my ears.
Did someone mention Bizarre Love Triangle?
Someone mentioned yesterday that the mix reminded them of Bizarre Love Triangle. I hear a bit what they are talking about. I thought it sounded a bit like Book Of Love Pretty Boys And Pretty Girls.
Yesss!!!
Many thanks Paul, you make my day!
I really appreciate it.
Regards!
You’re welcome Ludovic 🙂
Loved the Jungle mix . Do u also have Let It Be With You? Thanks Paul !
Not yet Omar I plan to get it though 🙂
Thanks so much for this. Yes, “Let It Be With You” is an excellent song and if memory serves the 12″ single is my favorite of his bunch. 🙂
Yay! Thanks Paul. Love these Strauss/Elias mixes. Awesome job as usual.
Thank you Thomas 🙂
I do love Justin’s work. I was always pissed that his and Shep’s US commissioned mixes never made popular compilations like Erasure’s singles box sets.
Incidentally, I met him by accident when he gigged at the Union Sq. Virgin Megastore. He just happened to be out of the booth when I needed help finding an import, and he let it go that he mixed it. Had a great conversation with him about his work. Nice guy.
Need to give this a listen to heard the other 2 which were good so need to give this one a bash
cheers again
Cheers dazz22 I think you will enjoy it 🙂
