thanks paul
Nice timing Paul. I just went on a JHJ binge with the Three Acetate Discs Box set. As usual your rips of the original destroy the remasters.
Cheers ! -K
One of my favourite JHJ singles, although they were all good actually from the first album.
I love the synth solo break too. Gets me everytime!
Cheers Paul 🙂
TBTC: What a wonderful mix! Thanks, Paul.
Anytime you post a mix by Julian Mendelsohn, it’s a time to rejoice. I love this man’s work. And I love your work Paul so very much. I can’t think of anyone who works as tirelessly as you do on vinyl rips. Sure there are others, but you have the legacy of a true artist and pioneer. I just froth and bubble over when I think of your talents. Have a fantastic weekend Paul!! Jeff Bonus Beats: Loved “AHS: 1984” with the episode that hinted that Kajagoogoo’s Limahl sold his soul to the Devil. It made me laugh really hard.… Read more »
I have not watched AHS 1984 lately I kind of lost interest for some reason. I have been recording it so maybe I will give it another chance, the problem is I am trying to watch too many things lol. Have a great weekend 🙂
Always liked this one.
One of my all-time favourites, Paul. Such a beautiful song with a beautiful twelve-inch version. I bought all the 12inches from their marvellous first album. Me happy 😉 Thank you, Paul.
You’re welcome Song And Dance. I agree with you I love this 12″ too it should have been a gigger hit. Have a great weekend 🙂
