Thank you for the re-up Paul
thanks again and again ! this isn’t my favorite song but extended versions are still apreciated 🙂
Thank you again honey xxx
…and I can only repeat myself, so 80s! Where a great song gets and excellent performance in a 80s fat sounding production and everything seem to be just right in the extended mix, 7 minutes and never a dull moment!
A good one, thanks a lot !! 🙂
I don’t have much more but as I mentioned above once more donations are made I can get more Freddie/Queen singles 🙂
Thank you very much Paul!
you’re welcome Mike 🙂
Great!I had this one when I was DJ!Thanks Paul,and I hope everything’s going well [your sister]and better [yor mother].A Big hug!
Thank you Piffard everything is fine 🙂
Great, DJ Paul!
Hoping to have also the re-rip of the original 12″ version of “Living on my own”.
…
In fact in the “Lover of life, Singer of songs”
Freddy Mercury collector’s edition 2cd (2006),
there wasn’t the original mix but only the 1993 version and
that collection misses also the “Love kills” original 12″.
THANKS THANKS THANKS.
you’re welcome BE.D12” 🙂
Loved this song and all the mixes for many a year. Another underated gem much like the album this came from. Awesome album!
Agree great album.
Thanks Paul, once again, can’t say THANKS enough 🙂 Made in Heaven and Love me Like there’s no tomorrow to complete Mr Bad Guy and i can die happy
Agree!
Sorry I don’t have those two. Maybe once more donations are made I can purchase them 🙂
Thanks Paul. Freddie was awesome.
Yes! Yes! YES!!!!! Wow, Paul, thanks for putting this one up for our aural pleasure. Such a great song and I’m excited to hear the remix. You sure work wonders!!
Jeff
Thank you Jeff 🙂
This one I really like, but I think the remix fits the song a bit less than the original version somehow. Thanks for these Freddie posts Paul!
You’re welcome Stefano 🙂
