Thank you very much Paul.
Idolo! te pasaste wacho, muchas gracias.
Thank you Paul. Great song and mixes. I didn’t have the Dub mix.
Just a suggestion here Paul: With all the trending this week on Twitter and elsewhere because of Stranger Things, maybe It could be a good idea to do a redo of Kate Bush Running Up That Hill.
Never heard of this song – thank you!
FRom Canada, my country, a big hit here and worldwide!
Thanks for posting this! I have the 12” but I think mine has a plain sleeve and I’m sure this rip will be fantastic as always! Gino & his brother have provided hours of audiophile quality listening and this dance track is just icing on the cake of a talented career!
You’re welcome, Enjoy! 🙂
Oh my gosh, Paul!! I nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw this!! I love this song. I only knew the Hot Tracks remix, so I can’t wait to find out what they used for their mix based on this original version. So amped up over it. Love these rock mixes and please, keep them coming!!!!
Jeff
I hope you like it, Jeff 🙂
Thanks, I love this single! Another gem from the heyday of great pop/rock/dance crossovers… Keep ’em coming!
You’re welcome, Retro Hound 🙂
Not sure why, but this has always been a standout after all these years. So very, very danceable and fun! Thanks for this gem, Paul!
I agree, you’re very welcome 🙂
