Count me in… Thanks Paul ! I am a sucker for obscure New Wave !
You’re welcome, Low you checked all the boxes for a great New Wave track 🙂
Thank you so much, Paul! I always love your closet 80s releases. They are always records that clearly shouldn’t be as obscure as they are. This one is FANTASTIC!!!
You’re welcome, Martika I am excited that you liked it 🙂

You’re very welcome, Retro Hound 🙂

You’re welcome 🙂
Talk about excitement!! Paul, you’ve got me jumping out of my skin for this record!! I love this band, Innocence In Danger. I don’t know much about this band, but I love their two singles.

Aww, Martika, you’re so cool! You are so right, too, about it not being bigger than it was, especially with Ivan Ivan producing. And do you know what is perplexing? There’s not much information concerning him on Discogs. I’ve looked, but even on the Internet, the details are sparse. I don’t understand because the guy was involved in many productions, i.e. Book of Love and Figures on a Beach. It’s just so strange to me. OH! Please check out the mix by the Latin Rascals. It contains Innocence In Danger’s follow up to “Violate the Video” called “Who Do You… Read more »
