Thanks Paul!
One of my fave 80’s singles.
Wow wonderful! this is one of my favorite new wave song. Although I already had their album but I still can’t resist to listen to this. Thanks for the upload.
Thanks very much
You’re welcome Emco 🙂
DEAR PAUL !
“GHOST OF LOVE” IS BETTER !!!
HOPE TO C THE “GHOST OF LOVE” 12″ SINGLE HERE SOON !!!
THANKSSSSSS !!!
ROGER.
You’re welcome Roger 🙂 I will see what I can do!
I must have missed this post yesterday. I recently added this 12 inch to my blog, but it was the UK Version and it (disappointingly) didn’t have the Extended Mix, despite stating it on the label. I was able to find the Extended Mix on a HTF CD compilation I had from years ago and added it to my post. Thanks! I’m going to grab a download of yours as well!
you’re welcome my friend. Enjoy!
hey dj!!!! never heard of the extended remix version before!!!!!!!!
thank u very much!!!!!!!!!
You’re welcome Giorgio. I hope you like it. Cheers!
Such a new wave classic and i remtmber it charted together with another brilliant new wave single…China Crisis’ Wishful Thinking. Shame that single didn’t carry any remixes.
Almost a one hit wonder in the uk, But their follow-up barely rippled the charts. Thanks for your rip, Paul, which I think will top those already out in cd compilations.
Here is another almost one hit wonder and another new wave classic I hope you have and may consider featuring in the future.

Hey Ric “I Dream To Sleep” is a great song. Unfortunately I don’t have it but I am gonna try to track down a copy 🙂
Thanks Paul. Yes, it is a dreamy New Wave classic, and very sorry for adding to the burden of your wantlist.
Don’t be sorry. I love being introduced to new things 🙂
An absolute fav of mine!
I didn’t really discover it until the early 90’s.
I was hooked & soon tracked the album on CD.
Thanks Paul!
You’re welcome Cdmaniac 🙂

You’re welcome Drake 🙂
Always liked this track. Nice addition to your (excellent) blog.
Thank you Stefano 🙂
OMG Paul!!! Probably the best 80’s New Wave single!!! Lots of memories on this one. I hope you get a hold of Industry – State Of The Nation (Extended Version). Dying to be remastered by you.
Hope you are well!
Hi Gilbert I have been searching for a Near Mint copy of Industry – State Of The Nation for a long time but it keeps eluding me. If anyone knows where I can get a Near Mint copy at a resonable price please let me know.
I am interested in this pressings:

You’re welcome Tyson 🙂
I had never heard this before, but I am kinda in love with it. thanks for introducing me to something “new” 🙂
You’re welcome Conner. It’s one of my all-time favorites 🙂
One of mine too! Wonderful track by all means! I also love “Ghost Of Love” (I believe it was the next 12″ release). That too is a great number with an excellent 12″ dance remix. Thanks a lot, Paul! (More ripping-trouble saved!!)
