Beautiful rip. I’ve got four or five copies of this — including my own originals from ‘back when,’ and this song is extremely difficult to get a clean copy of — very quiet. Thanks!
Many many thanks for your post !!
I grew up listening all this musicians, and I still believe they made better music than we have to listen today…
Hi Paul!
Thanks a lot for your posts. You keep on sending us back to the great music era from our youth 🙂
Fabulous post! Loved his 12”ers in the 80’s and so good to see great quality rips on here. I’d love to get my hands on your collection lol x
many thanks. looking forward to your ‘no one is to blame’ post
Thank you!!! Apparently, Jones’ back catalogue is getting a reissue treatment later this year. Rumour has it that the bonus cuts will include 12″ versions such as the one that you’ve posted.
All the reissues are out, and surprisingly no extra tracks.
In one way I love Howard for sticking up for them as untouchable masterpieces.
So thanks DjPaulT for saving our bacon with your perfect vinyl. 🙂
Thanks for this post! One of my favourite Songs from Howard and of the 80s!
Thanks for your great work!
