What a treat to see another Johnny Hates Jazz single on BTG. The album this was from is one of my favourite albums.

Cheers Paul 🙂

Now that´s a surprise for me! I love the whole album but did not know that Foolish Heart was a single let alone that there was a 12inch version. I have the other five 12inches from that album (Shattered Dreams, Don’t Say It’s Love, I Don’t Want To Be A Hero, Heart Of Gold and the wonderful wonderful Turn Back The Clock). Quite an odd 12inch we have here but it is a beautiful song.
Great find, Paul. Me happy 🙂

after checking, this version was released 2 years before
the album was. it just had a different name, when they
added ‘me and my’ to the title..

it’s also on the 2008 remaster of the album:

Thank you Paul for digging this single up for us. A lot of times, I’m noticing that your rips are vastly superior to the master tape versions. I know, that sounds weird, but it’s true. You are a true artisan with the way you present vinyl to digital. There’s so much care taken before you hit “send.” I love this perfection you have. These rips are true and genuine heart-felt gifts.
