Thank you very much Paul
This was a fun post to come up! Many thanks!
wow! What a gorgeous collectable x
Interesting rmx, the DMC dudes made a lot HQ remixes, mixes and megamixes but released them on vinyl pressings of very poor quality 🙁 Have a lotta them from the early 90s.
Awesome looking forward to hearing this. Just got in from a night of supermarket shopping, filling up the car bottom to top and voting in our general election! Thanks for this gem
Looking forward to hearing this. One of my favorite all-time songs by any artist, but I’ve never been able to track down a copy of this. I didn’t realize it was the DMC mix, I wonder if I ever passed over one of those? Doesn’t matter now, thanks!
Enjoy David!
Paul, I think you know more than anyone how much I love these exclusive DJ mixes! Whoa, the things that are on your site are a dance music maniac’s wet dream come true! I love how you surprise us with these awesome rarities, done the way only you can do. Ooh, how I value your methods and HUGE LOVELY HEART AND SOUL!! Again, everyday is a holiday on Burning The Ground! Like Sade once said, “Everyday is Christmas, and every night is New Years Eve.” It’s such a celebration here all the time! Gosh, you are a phenomenal individual who… Read more »
Thank you Jeff I love this mix and prefer it over the more Soul To Soul sounding version. Love the 70’s disco vibe that Mr. Anderson gave the track very Love Unlimited sounding 🙂
Thanks Paul. I also liked all the singles from Lisa’s former band Blue Zone.
Yeah great stuff by Blue Zone.
One of my favourite Lisa Stansfield singles. I love this remix too.
Thanks Paul 🙂
You’re welcome Junior I love this mix too 🙂
I got the Remix Anthology last year, but this rip sounds way better. 🙂
I love this!! Thank you for sharing! Just wondering if you have any remixes of Boy George’s music from 1991 under his project “Jesus Loves You”?
Yes I do Tim hopefully someday I can get to them.
“All Around The World” disco style, it works..
Thanks for the rip Paul 🙂
you’re welcome Ex15 🙂
