I am loving BTG – thank you so much for all the effort, time and love you have put into it. Let me tell you a story about this record. Culture Club toured here in Australia three times in the past two and a half years. On the first trip I went down to where they were staying and was fortunate enough to meet ‘the other three’, George was keeping a low profile as usual. I had a few CC records which they signed. Then I pulled out my Heartbeat UK record for Jon Moss to sign. He said ‘Wow,… Read more »

Paul! Man, what do you do to me! First, you provide so many of my favorites here on BTG, but then you introduce me to tracks I wasn’t aware of in the first place! I can’t thank you enough for this single! It has since become my anthem for the summer of 2015! I can not believe that this didn’t make it! What is wrong with people. This is so darn catchy and frothy and F-U-N!!! And holy Toledo!!! Those edits!! They whiz past one’s ears with such fierceness that they take my breath away. And I love the part… Read more »

Hey Paul, I remember being so excited to find this when I first found BTG. I don’t know one single other person that had ever heard of Heartbeat UK. 😀 Do you have the 7″ version too? BTW, I don’t think I noticed before, but that fantastic sleeve was done by Stylorouge – they went on to do loads of really great sleeves in the 90s, eg pretty much all of Blur’s records, Jesus Jones, and some of Pulp – and tonnes more, google them or check them out on Discogs. I met the head guy from there, Rob O’Connor,… Read more »

Hello, Paul!

Funny. Found file: “Ace Of Base – Everytime It rains (the Remixes) (US 12″ Promo) (1999)” but it is not published in the blog. 🙂

Lol. What about a re-up. Isn’t that a lot quicker to get links back up for now? Maybe you’re not happy with ANY of the old rips you perfectionist you! This blog will be stunning in 5 years i can’t even imagine. At some point i want to burn all your rips in chronological order for many artists. In fact i’ve already done that in the past for some but with obvious gaps as so much out there a new rip or re-rip makes these CD’s obsolete as i’m a completist!
