I wonder if you have the Hippodrome release of “Sometimes Like Butterflies”. It sounds terrible on CDs, I’m sure your transfer with be infinitely better.

Wow Paul! What a fantastic post! Never heard of Frizzby Fox. I love this song and the remixes are just brilliant. This post could be part of your awesome series “Totally Obscure 80s”. These posts are my favourite by far, you know it. Thank you so much Paul for this great discovery. Have a nice weekend.

Seems like someone quickly uploaded your vinyl rip to her YouTube channel, but what is worst, no restoration credits at all. Really outrageous! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHr7sS5hwPg
