Hi,

Would you happen to have access to the Right On Track 12″ by Breakfast Club that you could upload. The one I used to have (MCA-23687) had 7 different versions on it. I can’t find it anywhere in digital form.

Such an awesome track. This Shep Pettibone remix is one of the best ones he ever made.

Thank you so much Paul!!

Thank you so much for this! Waiting for a decent digital version for years – if you could ever get around to the other two singles, I’d die happy. Didn’t they also have a song on a soundtrack around that time that has only ever been available on vinyl?

Another discovery for me Paul and I can’t thank you enough. I was familiar with their “Right On Track” single, but this one I like even more. Plus, it’s a Shep mix too and the dub is epic with cool edits towards the end and the emulator solo which was such a staple in 80’s dance records. Again, you come to the rescue with the B-sides which the labels ignore most of the time in their re-issues of singles on CD. You are a perfect person DPT!! Many thanks and deep adoration.
