Thank’s from Israel 🙂
Magic stuff, thanks Paul.
Love this song. Hadn’t heard the 12 inch mix before. Thanks for posting!
Love, love this post. They don’t make this kind of music anymore! Thanks DJ Paul.
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 🙂
Thank you Mark 🙂
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 🙂
I am so happy that you are happy Song And Dance 🙂
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.
Jeff
Thank you Jeff 🙂
Thanks my Vinyl Master 🙂
You’re welcome pjanus 🙂
Thanks Paul a million. I love JHJ. I’ve preordered the 3 cd deluxe of Turn Back The Clock which comes out next month.
You’re welcome.
