Thanks, Paul! I’ve had a very crackly copy of this 12″ for nearly 30 years and sadly don’t have the quality kit to record and clean up the record. I’ve only ever found an edit of the “Deadly Weapons” mix online so to get the complete 12″ in the usual high quality BTG version is a real treat. Thanks again!

Khayem,

Reading your post really brings it home for me personally. So many records I have had in my own record collection have been brought back from the dead all because of Paul. His dedication to perfection is truly awesome. I can’t begin to describe the feelings I have to be able to hear a gorgeously ripped record with the kind of fidelity Paul brings to the light. Sometimes, it’s as if I’m getting the full cinematic “Director’s Cut” or the Blu-Rau edition of all these rare twelves. WOW!!! and AWESOME!!! Paul’s a miracle worker!

Have a fantastic day!

Jeff

Thanks so much for the twin set of English Boy On The Loveranch … I know “The Man in Your LIfe” but never heard “Sex Vigilante” until today. Thank you for being the treasure you are!

I know it’s pretty special when you go back to back singles by the same artist. Paul, again I am thrilled to get this track from you. One can’t help but feel like a kid in a candy store receiving all these sweet 12-inch treats from you! You certainly have a way of introducing us to music that deserves another chance to be heard. We can all rejoice because we all know that there is so much care spent on fidelity. You bring past grooves to life!! You got mad skills!!
