Thank YOU!!!
Paull, if you have OoTouch Arthur Baker Remix and Dub, please 🙂
Thank you, Paul!
MANY thanks for this upload, Paul – genuinely, this is one of my favourite remixes of the 80s, and to my mind the definitive version of this track 🙂
Love This One
Thanks for shared…
You’re welcome, Carlos 🙂
Love this 12”! Thanks for the new rip Paul!! From their most “street” sounding album and really innovative stuff from Daryl, John and of course Arthur Baker.
You’re welcome, Retro Hound 🙂
This one’s good. But the most amazing mix by far is this one: https://www.discogs.com/release/254506-Daryl-Hall-John-Oates-Out-Of-Touch
Seriously one of my top 20 remixes of the 80’s. So very, very danceable people fill the floor and ask which version I’m playing.
Thanks DJ Paul!
I agree that one is a good mix that I still need to post 🙂
That would be awesome Paul
Muchas gracias Dj Pault! Excelente Vinyl.
De Nada 🙂
Oh wow, so happy to see this! I just saw Daryl on his current solo tour, at the Atlanta show, and he was incredible. I’m a huge fan so this is a great one to see here – and thanks as always for the 24-bit FLAC for a limited time!
You’re welcome, Grant. I hope you had fun at the show 🙂
I sure did – thanks! Have a great weekend!
Very weird!! I was only thinking of this last night and hoping that DjPaulT might one day re-rip this. WOW!! The excitement I feel over this is intense. This is my FAVORITE VERSION OF THE SONG!! It’s perfect in every way!! Thank you, Paul, for doing this. It just totally rocks!!!
Jeff
You’re very welcome, Jeff I had you in mind while I was working on this new transfer. Enjoy 🙂
