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!

Most favorite dance track of my life, sent me into a frenzy on the dancefloor in the 80s. Cheers!!!

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)
