wow, now this is a rarity! I didn’t even know there was an extended version of “Missed You All Along”, which happens to be my favorite track by Koo de Tah. Thanks for posting this one, Paul!

Happy to see more Koo De Tar. Great choice Paul 🙂
“Think Of Me” is my personal favourite of theirs, but this too is a great track.
Many thanks.

I like Tina´s voice very much. Never heard this song before, at least not that I am aware. This song has a chinese / japanese ringing in my ear. Maybe that´s only me 🙂 but for me it makes the song even more interesting. Thank you, Paul.

Thirded 🙂 I’d die to have the set of these! Hey interestingly, the 12″ b-sides for Too Young and Body Talk both feature b-side extended dance mixes of the b-sides. Don’t see that often! The “Think of Me” 12″ features an unnamed extended mix – not even obvious by the title apparently except for the track length. Here’s track lengths as near as I could find, from various sources – 7″ —- Too young for promises 4:03 Dancing (towards the stranger) 3:35 Body talk (lp mix) My eyes are shut Think of me (remixed from LP) 3:58) Love ’em never… Read more »
