I have this Original Album version, but not this instrumental.
Thank you, Paul.
Do you have the 7″ promo with vocal and instrumental edits Paul?
Great addition to the collection.
Any chance “What’s On Your Mind” from InSoc will be added?
Thanx Paul
Running.
That’s a theme now? Did you eat too much lately?
Well, okay, must be something in the air, I do have to exercise more often…
Thanks Paul .
insoc is one of my favorite bands from the 80’s…i saw them at a club in Seattle when they first started, still had the female in the group…all of their albums are just good music…
Incredible. Thank you.

Paul,
thank you very much for sharing this maxi-single.
This band was completely unknown to me, but one listen to the clip and i decided i had to have it 😉
I’m grateful you uploaded this remix as it the version which resonates the most with me.
Thank you for introducing me to this band and providing such a great sounding vinyl rip.
This song even has some Bowie vibe in it no?
All your great work is muchly appreciated!
Peace,

You’re welcome Don I am so happy that you like it 🙂
I am jumping up and down here at work!! This is so great Paul. It’s ALWAYS INCREDIBLE when you post rarities from our favorite artists. I’m so happy about this 12-inch too. Although I like Kurt better as a singer, I still enjoy the original vocalist from the band. Very excellent!!
Jeff
Thank you Jeff 🙂
Thanks Paul! Now I wonder what the next one might be? 🙂
You’re welcome Goodguy 🙂
