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.
Thanks so much for this one! I always thought he was underrated.
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!
The Drive Time Mix is the single mix on the UK CD single.

You’re welcome Daniel 🙂
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.
You’re welcome Omar 🙂
Little confusion in the names. It’s because you’re getting old lol 🙂
