Rare stuff. TYVM
I had some of these tracks on a cassette maxi-single back in the day. Every song on it was gold! Loved it!
I also loved the remix of Twenty Killer Hurts that was on their Suspicion 12″, and I guess the record company liked it to, because they released Twenty Killer Hurts as a promo 12″ with additional exclusive Dub and Instrumental versions. I sure would like to see that get the Paul treatment one day!
Thanks for bringing back old memories!
Great Paul!! It’s so Awesome so I had to go down in the cellar and slip my own version of this 2×12″ on. Must be over a year easy since I last listened to this vinyl…. Great work as always from you and again thanks!
Cool song Paul!! I was searching this for so long , thank you so much!!
Loved a good 12” double pack gatefold limited edition back in the day! Thanks Paul. Another one to make wolfie howl and chase his tail lol x
Metoo Wolfie love a 12″ with great packaging 🙂
Awesome. Thanks for this. Looking forward to any other gems you may be able to turn up from their House of Dolls era. Suspicion, Gorgeous and 20 Killer Hurts I think were all given the 12″ treatment.
You’re welcome eed 🙂
Thnks Paul !!! Great site !!! Please upload everything you possess of Gene Loves Jezebel. The best & rare 12” mixes (Desire, Suspicion, Twenty Killers, Heartache, etc.) are not available in the net. Thnks again !
You’re welcome Juan I will see what I can come up with 🙂
thanks so very much , brother 🙂
you’re welcome, brither 🙂
Like Woz said up above, “it’s always interesting to see what other BTGers request.” Besides you Paul, I credit a lot of your readers to turning me on to things I’m not very familiar with. I loved Gene Loves Jezebel’s “Desire” 12-inch, so I can’t wait to hear this one. And, of course, I really love Julian Mendolsohn’s remix skills. So thank you Paul and you too, requester!
Jeff
The readers and their input are what helps to keep this site great Jeff. I value every one of you 🙂
Thanks Paul. I have some of their cds i think. These days there’s two versions of Gene Loves Jezebel. Always liked the Jay Aston version better.
You’re welcome Omar 🙂
This song has grown on me over the years. Not sure if I’ve heard this mix. Looking forward to listening to both sides of the record. Thank you! It’s always interesting to see what other BTGers request.
You’re welcome woz. I hope you enjoy the tracks 🙂
