You’re welcome CL 🙂
Thank you very much for sharing.
You’re welcome Marceloide 🙂
Thanks Paul for these exclusive Kevorkian mixes. They are awesome. He also did a great job on “Just another night”, the other single issued from the same album. I love 80’s remixes of rock songs. And thank you for keeping this theme featuring singles with the word LOVE in the title going on. I love it.
You’re welcome, Daniel. Maybe it will turn out to Februlove 🙂
Tahnk you Paul!!! another great ‘Kevorkian’ mix.
You’re welcome Guss 🙂
Wonderful track, Paul. Thanks for posting in pristine quality. You are the best.
Thank you Steveasian 🙂

You’re welcome Stefano 🙂
Whenever you post something by the Rolling Stones or Mick Jagger, I can’t help but get all tingly inside and outside!! Thank you Paul for posting this 12-inch.

I agree Mick and company did do some fun exploration into dance tracks. I hope to showcase more of them in future posts 🙂

I forgot to mention that Jeff Beck and Herbie Hancock played on this track. 🙂
Thanks again, Paul!
You’re welcome Fred thanks for the additional info 🙂
Thanks Paul. I love this single.
You’re welcome Omar 🙂
