What a breath of fresh air! I lost track of Kajagoogoo after Limahl left, so this is another one that’s new to me. These remixes should be top-notch with Paul Sabu and Rusty Garner behind them. Thank you Paul for continuing to surprise us! Have a great weekend, also Jeff, Song and Dance and everyone else!

There you go again, Paul. Not for the first time you surprise me with remixes I don´t recall ever having listened to. Great find and a great addition to any Kaja(googoo) collection. Thank you so much. Have a great weekend, Paul and Jeff and everybody around. Keep your dancing feet going in these turbulent times. 🙂

It’s always nice when you add a tune remixed by Rusty Garner. I really liked this band, but I did miss, Limahl on vocal duties.

Have a nice weekend, Paul. You too, Song And Dance, Retro Hound, Martika, Daniel and the rest!

Love the album this is from! What is interesting is after Limahl bailed they released a second album as Kajagoogoo but in the US it was reformatted and released as Kaja before another member left I think and their 3rd was released internationally as Kaja. So to me it’s all Kajagoogoo! Nick frequently tours with Howard Jones. Can’t wait to compare these US mixes with the UK ones!!! Thanks 😊
