(Has tipeado mal el nombre, es Greg Kihn)
Un gran abrazo desde Argentina!
Thanks for this Paul!
You’re welcome, Grant 🙂
Thank you Paul for this one. This was missing in my collection.
You’re welcome, Toxicaudio 🙂
I still regularly play your rips of Jeopardy. Can’t wait to hear this for the first time.
Paul Sabu & Rusty Garner were a great remix duo.
Thanks Paul 🙂
You’re welcome, Marco. I hope you enjoy this one too 🙂
Paul, a very good song, the truth came to me as soon as I heard its first chords, it wasn’t a great success here in Chile, but as soon as we listened to it, we remembered each other immediately, thank you.
You’re welcome 🙂
Wow thank you Paul!! What a nice surprise! I love this single from Greg Kihn. In fact I own the 45 RPM with the exclusive b-side “Sad Situation”. Thanks for keeping this one alive! I hope you had a nice Fourth.
You’re welcome, Retro Hound. I always loved collecting 45s for those rare edits and b-sides 🙂
Yes it was always a thrill!
Ever since you posted “Jeopardy” I’ve been thinking of his 12-inch mixes. Thank you, Paul, so much for doing this track. I am so excited to hear it. I love these mixes that have been lost to the ages. I like that it did well on the dance chart too.
Jeff
I hope you and Karen had a nice Fourth!
We did, albeit just quiet. Hope you and yours had a nice fourth too!!
You’re a great person, Retro Hound. I’m glad you’re here!!
Jeff
Thanks Jeff!! I know Paul would agree, this community wouldn’t be the same without you!
Thank you, Jeff 🙂
