Paul, THANK YOU for this one! This song is a very personal favorite of mine. I hope in the near future you will post the original single mix of “Animal Magic”, the second single from the same 1987 album.

Yes, another PWL related post! Phil Harding’s The Drive Time Mix is only available on this 12″ single. Would love a Kakko What Kind of Fool (1990) remastered by you. Great post as always Paul!

Thank you Paul. Great choice. If I am not wrong the John Robie Dub mix has never been available digitally. It’s good to have you back here on BTG. Have a great weekend.
