Thank you so much for posting this! Sadly this was left off the “So80s” 12″ collection.

… along with half the dynamic range of the tracks included. I sold my shitty sounding copy for peanuts, and I rarely sell anything. 🙁

Thanks, Paul. This is totally new to me.

Paul, here is the beauty of your site! I am a Culture Club fan, but I guess more of the casual fan. Here, you make available singles, one (meaning I) am not readily familiar with. I am excited to hear this song. So looking forward to “experience” the magic you infuse these rips with. Very excited. I see there are some edits here. Looking forward to that too. Many, many thanks!

Jeff
