Greetings DJ Paul, excellent page and of course your files. One question, what is the possibility of placing this theme again to download it? In Flac if it's not too much trouble. Thank you.

If DJ PaulT doesn’t mind, I’d like to share this with the site.

There is a 2017 remix online of Nick Kershaw’s Wouldn’t It Be Good:

Another top track from 1985, Especially the extended version is one of my favorites of the 80s, albeit that this favorite list is in itself quite long. Thx for yet another very good upload!

I have never been sure of how to pronounce this bands name. I always called them Bel-wah Sohm. Is that correct with the French pronunciations?

You are the Super Hero of Sound Recordings, dear Paul!! I love when you plunge deep within your collection for some splendid 80’s dance mix!! And, a dance mix by Belouis Some is such a welcome one. I love his catalog of releases. He’s also quite handsome too. Many thanks for this addition to your Burning The Ground Discography. I swoon over what you include here. The surprises, the faves, the hard-to-find and the ones that you school us in. You are un-FREAKING-believable, Paul. I can’t sing your praises enough!!

Have a phenomenal weekend and thanks again!!!
