Thank you so much sir paul, you are the best!
Really cool to see Killing Joke. Such an underrated band. If you have any other Joke that would be awesome! Thanks for posting this.
wow this my favorite !! Thanks so much Paul .
Please please we need “London Boys “! Yeahh
Thanks for this great new wave pick DJPaulT.
The Gestalt version is not that great as the Original Extended or the ’86 Remix no wonder they made only 2000 copies.
It would be great if you’ll post the original extended or at least the 1986 Remix. Thanks!
Thanks very much for this Paul, you are the man!
This is one of my favorite of all times.
Now everyone can enjoy it with real analog sound as we used to dance with it back in the days.
Keep up the good work Paul 🙂
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this song!!!!
This one’s really cool, Paul. I always love the posts with a darker edge. Thanks!
Fantastic! I haven’t heard this in years and it sounds fabulous! Thanks!

Funny how those waving flags ended up wrapped around Pete Burns in You Spin Me round .. well, maybe not the exact same flags, but they sure look similar. 😛
They do look similar 🙂
This is such a cool song! While I already have these mixes on CD, hopefully others will enjoy! Thank you, Paul!
