Hello,
Is there any chance of a re-upload of this single?
Thanks! – Scott
TY
MORE MR. MISTER, PLEASE!!!
Thanks Paul. Looking forward to listening to this.
Thanks!
Great song, good memories overall.
Thanks Paul 🙂
One of my very first 12″s!
No Remixes for the first two singles which was such a shame! Luckily they relented with the third. And it is a corker!
80s day-glo fashion and big hair didn’t age well, but 80s music? Always classic!
Thanks Paul!
Well, Kyrie got a single version which is different to the album version.
OMG I completely forgot they had a third popular single.
This was very nice to hear.
Thanks Paul
You’re welcome Cdmaniac 🙂
Most favorite dance track of my life, sent me into a frenzy on the dancefloor in the 80s. Cheers!!!
Cheers D@Nny!
Cheers Paul, keep ’em Mr Mister 45’s coming, especially those hard-to-get-in-good-quality 12” remixes from their ’87 album “Go On…” (i.e. Stand And Deliver, Something Real and the fab gospel remix of Healing Waters)
I will see what I can do Denniz 🙂
Mr. Mister is from the U.S. not Australia.
So David Bowie is next?
Excellent post! This one escaped my memory, nice to hear it again. Thanks Paul!
