Hi Paul, I’ve tried many many times to download this one, on every possible way. But every download seems to contain an error upon opening the one of the files. Could you please reload this one? I’m very anxious to hear this one specially, because it’s so rare.
All your other (even some older) posts are working without any problem. Except for this one…
Thanks!
I don’t know “que decir”, precious, muchas gracias amigo.
Great work, thank you for one more excellent post and for the flawless HQ vinyl ripping, Paul!
“Dub version” is out of competition, absolutely!
Hi Paul, great post!! I had request this Maxi in the Hey little Girl Comments!!
I love the Quality of your post, you are the best!! Thanks for posting all your pearls on this blog.
Greetings from Germany
I didn’t have this 12” – thank you! Good one 🙂
Well done. Great song.
Thanks Paul. Lovin’ your Icehouse posts. Cheers.
Wow! Thx for this – it’s awesome! I found “Mr. Big” & “Taking The Town” 12″ singles in second hand bins in the last 12 months. Have been looking for this without success though for a long time. Now I just need “No Promises” to make my life complete LOL.
Thank you!
Wow wow thanx Paul for this gem, I just had the remix version mp3 in very poor quality, and never heard the dub version, you made my day, thank you, you’re the best Paul.
