Wow – totally missed this totally 80’s-sounding gem! Thanks for the discovery, Paul. You rock!

Wow! One of my favourite records in my collection. Funny to see that “Monday” even jumped over to the USA, because they have fallen through the cracks in Germany also. I really love digging for music that didn’t find its way to the charts or to the radio stations, although it would have belonged exactly there. If you are interested in more obscure “german” 80’s, you should maybe try “State Of The Art – Shout And Run” or “Dresden China – Fire And Rain”… I’m sure that there are lots of hidden treasures of that kind all over the world,… Read more »

Sorry I missed out yesterday to comment, but it was quite the “manic Monday” and couldn’t. It’s great that you posted this as the follow-up to “Fallen Angel” which was a very good track in and of itself. I like that you spotlight music that slipped through the cracks the first time Paul. Always great to hear something “new.”

Love the new site design. You’re are always improving and re-inventing yourself Paul. You make our days!!

I discovered this band here on BTG when you posted the first single Fallen angel. I wanna hold you is also a great song and the 2 mixes are awesome. It’s so good to get Monday’s second and last single today on Monday. Thank you so much Paul. Keep the obscure 80s coming 🙂

Looks fantastic, I didn’t even realize there was a 12″ version of this track! Thank you, Paul!

Great background on here. Very clean looking. Thanks for another Totally Obscure 80’s post. This is a new one to me.

Thanks Paul 🙂
