I didn’t know about this track and I forgot all about Something In The House. Great stuff.
Thanks!
The instrumental mix of Something In My House on this single is the same as that on the original Something In My House 12″, only the stereo channels are reversed! Also the instrumental mix edit has the stereo channels reversed.
Paul, could you please delete my previous comment? I posted it on the wrong page.
I have the CD picture disc of this single, and on it, there are two additional seconds at the start of the instru-mental mix of Something In My House. You can hear them here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qrm3yDLjXw
Thanks for this Paul. This was the mix released in Australia. Great song. Look forward to a great rip of Come Home With Me Baby.
Once again big thanks xxx
Thanks for this new fantastic post Paul !!!
Another great one will be the UK 7inch of “Misty Circle” with the instrumental version of the track !
Thanks, again, Paul! Such a risqué sleeve for 1988 😉 It might even get banned by today’s Facebook standards.
Hi Christian yeah Pete got pretty naughty for this album. I think there was a banned album sleeve in Japan.
Thanks Paul! Always love this track!
You’re welcome Gilbert 🙂
LOVE!
Thank you Shannon 🙂
Thanks for the posts. you always put such care and attention into every track you feature.
You’re welcome Nick 🙂
Hey DJ Paul,

.. Brian
Hi Brian I am doing mixes from the “Nude” album right now but I will get to “You Spin Me” eventually 🙂
thanks buddy and have a great weekend 😀
Much better than it did, sorry!
Again, many thanks, Paul. A very underrated record IMO that should have done much than it did in the UK charts.
I agree should have been a UK #1.
once again, indebted thanks for the DOA flow, please please keep them coming, just so nice to have this work from you and the time you commit to helping relive the 80s is incalculable in how i can say thanks ! Whats the rarest Youthquake related mix you have?
Hi Davdi i plan to continue the “Nude” era singles into next week 🙂
Thanks Paul, looking forward to this NUDE series.
Thanks Paul for the excellent DOA posts. I thought this was Disco Friday day though.
Skipped Disco friday this week in order to continue the DOA posts 🙂
I, myself, have always thought of Dead or Alive Music as disco anyways 🙂
