Thank you so much for your kindness!!!
Thank you so much for this awesome rip… and for posting the link on my video… it’s fantastic that people like you are preserving Mummy Calls for future generations… Keep up the superb work!!!
Thank you so much for this. I had no Idea this was even out there. Thanks for your hard work, sir.
you wouldn’t by any chance also have “The Lost Brothers ft. G Tom Mac – Cry Little Sister”
Never heard of this one Paul, but i saw the Hugh Padgham tag and got all excited. This should sound good, listening for those classic AMS digital fx units…. cheers !
Thanks so much Paul!
You’re always coming up with surprises.
I love this song & soundtrack (hoping for a deluxe edition).
I dont even remember a 12″
The Lost Boys is one of my all time favourite movies, and I Love the soundtrack,
“Beauty Has Her Way” by Mummy Calls, sounds fantastic, and it’s great hearing the extended version, this 12″ and the The Lost Boys album will get played a lot.
Aerosmith ft. Run DMC “Walk This Way” was in the film, but didn’t feature on the soundtrack.
Excellent post Paul for Halloween,
“I’m gonna have a good time tonight, Rock n’ Roll music gonna play all night”.
Motörhead’s Hellraiser (Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth), is another good song from a horror movie.
thank you!! fantastic single … please upload silent running – singles and wire train – singles.thank you my friend
Wow Paul! What a fantastic song I discover right now! I also never heard about this band. And what to say about the remix. It’s absolutely awesome. Paul you’re just incredible. You made my day. Like Omar and RCDavies, I thank you a million times. Such a shame that the album is not available on CD, I surely would have purchased it.
That makes me very happy Daniel 🙂
Hi Daniel,
The Lost Boys soundtrack is/was available on CD. I own it. 🙂
I think Daniel is talking about the Mummy Calls album Fred. 🙂 The “Extended Remix” is noy available on CD as far as I know.
That’s right Paul. I forgot to mention it. A CD release from the Philippines of this Mummy Calls album is available on discogs. But I think that this unofficial. Never heard of Tenterra Records…
Yeah, the only CDs you’ll find are vinyl rips (nowhere near the caliber of Paul’s). Don’t pay over the moon for any of them. Good quality digital is out there. Like this rip for instance. For late-period New Romantic and blue-eyed soul, they’re definite stand outs. The Facebook group is run by the friends of the band and are a wealth of knowledge. I’m sure the split was just from getting a royal shafting from Geffen.
A million thanks again, Paul!
I said thanks on Twitter, but I thought I would make it official. Thanks a million, Paul. I know quite a few Mummy Calls fans (yes, we do exist) that will have quite a fit when they see this 12″ turned digital. Sadly Geffen has never reissued any of their catalog on CD. The world’s loss!
You’re very welcome RCDavies. I am thrilled to see I am not the only Mummy Calls fan in the world lol. It would be nice if their album were available 🙂
Thanks Paul a million!!
You’re welcome Omar 🙂
