Looks like you’re famous! I’ve seen your rips on several sites now. At least this site actually keeps your info file in the archive with your “VINYL RESTORATION BY: DjPaulT” credit! I would take that as a serious form of flattery … lol
Thanks!
Now THIS is a classic!!!
Thank you very much Paul!!!
Thanks!!! Big Gloria Fan!
This RIGGY 12″ Version 7:09 on side B has an extra O-Eh at the beginning not found on CD versions.
Ahh!! Thank you for sharing another rare gem with all of us. Cheers to you, to good health and to another 9+ years of BTG ahead of us. 🙂
MSM & Gloria made some great stuff. One of the best 12″ I ever got is Miami Sound Machine – Dr. Beat, great song, excellent mix and even better sounding 12″, always moved the crowd in the club.
This official megamix is also pretty good, got this on CD-Maxi,

Paul you couldn’t go wrong presenting some other of their releases.
Cheers
YES!!! GLORIA!!! THIS IS MY GIRL. MORE PLEASE!!!
Nice one Paul, thank you! Any chance you have the Falling in Love (Uh-Oh) 12”?
I’ll see what I can do Wayne 🙂
Wayne, I second the request for the “Falling In Love (Uh-Oh)” 12-inch. Nobody ever seems to talk about this wonderful song and record. It’s one of my favorites. I remember when The Miami Sound Machine performed this on one of the New Year’s Eve specials. Ah, what memories!
Jeff
This would be an awesome record to post!
Lovely stuff! Just one thing: the write-up says side B is the “O-Eh o-Eh Edit” (which I assume is correct) but your tracklisting attaches that title to side A instead.
Sorry about that Alex it was a typo I have corredted it. Side A is “The Megamix”. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Ah, I just thank the God’s above for you Paul and Burning The Ground. Gosh, you and the online community must get sick of my ravings, but I just can’t help myself. What you offer is nothing short of perfect and perfection. Megamixes are my thing and when they come up on your site, I am in such bliss. It’s also the clarity you produce them in is such a thrill and a blessing. So many of these medleys/megamixes are lost to time. You are certainly our “Dr. Beat” because you restore them with your sonic surgery to heights not… Read more »
Jeff I never tire of your comments because I know you are passionate about music too. Thank you for always being honest in your sincerity 🙂
Great to have some more Gloria!
Thanks Paul 🙂
You’re welcome Junior 🙂
I love me some Gloria. Thank you!
You’re welcome Conner. I know she is one of your favorites 🙂
Excelente post, me trae muchos recuerdos. Como siempre, la calidad de sonido y la gráfica: Insuperables. Muchas gracias.
De nada Marceloide 🙂
This megamix is new to me. Thanks, looking forward to hearing this out.
And what do you mean precisely with the B-side is the “O-Eh o-Eh Edit’?
The O-Eh o-Eh Edit is the mix name. It also appears on US and UK 12″ singles but sometimes the mix name is not used. Just wanted to clarify so folks didn’t think it was a special mix. The sleeve is kinda confusing.
