Thank you very much! Your webpage is really superb 🙂
This is a jam! Thank you, Paul 😎
The classic single from 1986! And it’s all thanks to a Dutch remix that brought it the belated success in the USA! Love the Madonna and Nuance samples in the remixed version. Keen to hear the original before the Slaghuis touch. Thanks for another rare share, Paul!
Ah, this seems to be an edit of the Vocal/American Mix from the 12″, which is my favorite version. The “Dutch Mix” or what I think everyone knows as the more popular version seems a little over-produced to me. I prefer the more laid back tempo and groove of this earlier version. Thanks again Paul!!
I like this one very much Paul. Thank you.
I have a different question though:
I’m in the process of converting all my music to lossless now and therefore wanted to reload AC/DC. The FLAC link however sends me to a website that asks me to install iLivid download manager? After searching internet that appears to be malware. Next to this I noticed this happening at many more old links. Can you please advise? The current links all work great.
Thanks,
Wim
Thank you! I actually like this version better! The synths in the beginning are awesome.
Wow, it’s been so long since I’ve heard “I Can’t Wait”! I love the vocals on this song, just something about Valerie Day’s voice that brings back the 80s feel for me. There are days when I wish I could travel back in time and relive that decade. But I guess this is the next best thing. It’s such a trip being on this website, thanks so much for everything Paul!
i like this version. My copy is a 3:38 version that sounds like the 12” on Atlantic Recs. and the B side is “Make Your Mind Up” (Atlantic – 7 89446-7)
this single version is much better. thanks
I never knew there are an earlier version. I really like it. Thanks for posting!
Thanks Paul!
You’re welcome JTF 🙂
Didn’t know there was a previous version – looking forward to hearing the original raw sound. Thanks DjPaul. 🙂
You’re welcome Jermajesty 🙂
Thanks Paul once again.
You’re welcome Omar 🙂
Wow don’t think i’ve ever heard this version. Just played it! Have the hit version (top 10 in the UK) on UK 7 and 12″ since 1986
Enjoy NKelly 🙂
In the Peter Slaghuis remix it os one of my all time favorites. I know this one, not bad but a little bland compared whit the remix. But thanks for sharing anyway!
You’re welcome.
You are amazing! Thank you SO MUCH. I can’t wait to get home and hear this again.
You’re welcome Conner. Enjoy!!
I’m really looking forward to this one Paul. I’m a huge fan of the song and I really like versions that are different to what I’m used to. I love the surprises you give us everyday Paul.
So very thankful,
Jeff
