wow, Wow, WOW! I believe this is the only 80s song that I do not have on any format! I remember trying to purchase this 12″ back in the day and it was always sold out and it appears I just forgot to keep looking after awhile. Again, like earlier posts this week, it’s a very Pointer Sisters sound!
 
The rip sounds amazing! Thanks for the hard work! Have a great weekend!

This is another song I’m discovering right now and I like these mixes, especially the dub mix. However, I know about the other single “secrets” taken from the same album. There was an awesome 8 minutes mix made by the same remix team. Maybe you have it too. Thank you Paul for another week full of great new posts. Have a nice weekend and everyone here on BTG.

Funny, but Ms. Cole has been on my mind lately. It’s quite remarkable how psychic you are Paul. I am so looking forward to this too because I am very impressed with the remix team behind the track

Paul, have a very nice weekend and thanks for all the music from this past week.

All my best!

Jeff
