The title is “Muzak.” Therefore, my curiosity can’t resist.
Thanks, Paul.
Thank you so much for this one, Paul! Actually, it’s kinda rare 12″ mix with cold end, instead of fade-out album mix. Keep up great work!
Thank you very much Paul.
This literally is at the top of my wish list! I don’t think that this U.S. promo remix has ever been reissued digitally anywhere. Thank you, Paul!!!
You’re welcome, in the groove 🙂
I’d like to add that if you haven’t heard U2’s cover of Pop Muzik it is amazing
I will check it out had no idea they covered it 🙂
I have it on a USA CD single for Last Night in Earth, I believe! It’s epic…
Thank you for another amazing 12″! 5 STARS!!! I never get tired of Pop Muzik! But the entire first album was so far ahead of its time!
Thank you, Martika 🙂
Thanks so much, Paul! I’ve been waiting years for this — and the 12” versions “That’s The Way The Money Goes” and “Cowboys And Indians.”
If you have these, PLEASE upload. Thanks again.
Yes, i hope he does. Very good idea!
I don’t have those but I have added them to my want list so see what I can do 🙂
Thanks for this! Obviously anyone who was 10-ish when Pop Muzik was a hit probably dreamed of having the album it came from, but at that time we rarely got more than the 45 and occasionally a tape or record album! So it will be great to dig in to this !!!
I hope you enjoy it, ING 🙂
What a trip, Paul!!! I was obsessed with M when “Pop Muzik” came out. I even got his cassette as a Christmas present!! I played it to death until it couldn’t play no more. Gosh, I almost forgot about this one. Thank you, Paul, for continuing with the Sire Records classics!!! Although not as catchy as his first single, I did love it.
Jeff
You’re welcome, Jeff 🙂
