Wow. She looks so young on this cover, especially compared to her more recent photos. Where has the time gone?
Wonderful! Thank you so much. I’d love to see a re-up of Love Pains and Losing My Mind as those links are dead. 🙂
This is amazing.
Please keep posting these more obscure releases as they are a musical education for us all.
I love these PSB collaborations.
I would love to hear more of Liza with Pet Shop Boys.
Thanks Paul. Love the Liza PSB collaborations. Also loved Dusty’s PSBs produced singles.
She looks marvelous!
The remix is as well.
All around marvelous.
Hi Paul! Originally posted October 10, 2019? Remastered with newer equipment? Thank for this great remixes. LAL
I must have had a brain freeze I totally forgot I had posted this in 2019. Oh well, this is a new transfer sorry about that guys.
Estas bombas… que bueno suenan… Gracias este super 12″..
Thank you 🙂
Before I bought her “Results” album, I first heard this track via the remix services. I love it so much, “Baby!” Liza’s record is one of my favorite discs and I so wish she continued making records with the ‘ Boys. This is fantastic Paul and I’m grateful for this 12-inch!
Jeff
You’re welcome, Jeff I was going to do the other remixes for this song but the response for this one has not been great so I will move on “Baby” lol 🙂
LOVE IT…this I always considered a PSB album with ‘Liza with a Z’ on vocals….one of my favorites from my “record store employee” days! Consider doing more someday! I dunno, maybe some got their hands on the super deluxe import? I missed out on that so the remixes are a bonus for me!!!
Poor response could be due to burn-out from the Results Deluxe version. 2 CDs of remixes of 3 songs, one of them was Don’t Drop Bombs.
