Finally you re-ripped this one. Thanks Paul. Nice to have the B-side in Paulity now.
Thank you!
Never heard You Made Me Love You. Thanks Paul!
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Paul!!!
It’s great to ask an receive only a couple of days later… Thanks a lot for that!
How much time per track do you spend cleaning up you’d say? I tried a couple of rips with Audacity and mine are nowhere as half as close as good as yours!
Thanks again Monsieur.
MUITO BOM SEU BLOG NUNCA VI IGUAL OBRIGAGO..
This is one of my favourite 80’s duet songs.
Thanks Paul 🙂
You’re welcome Junior 🙂
I’m so very, very happy with this excellent rip. As a lifelong ONJ fan, YMMLY is one of those songs I really wanted a clean rip of. Love it, as well as those other ONJ tracks you have lovingly re-mastered. A heartfelt Thank You from Michael in Sweden.
You’re welcome Michael. This one of the greatest lost ONJ tracks 🙂
Another great track..
Thanks as always Paul 🙂
You’re welcome Ex15 🙂
I bought the US 45 with intention of posting it on the blog where I reside. I’m interested to check out your rip. Thanks!
You’re welcome Cherbette 🙂
thanks. Great single. I used to have the 7” version. I wonder why they made 12” and 7” versions of two songs that were exactly the same on both
I’d usually guess so DJs etc could buy better quality sounding vinyl (grooves more spaced out on 12″), but then they go and stick it at 33rpm – a baffling move for sure?!
You’re welcome Brian. They did this a lot in the Netherlands and Germany not sure why. I must admit though the tracks do sound much better spread out over one side of a 12″ as opposed to a 7″ so maybe that is why.
good answer actually. i always thought that 12” singles were for longer songs only. thats all a 12” single was to me. lol. i wasnt aware of the sound qualities, then again i had a crappy record player lol. learn something new everyday
Thank you very much! 🙂
You’re welcome Tony 🙂
Perfection Paul! Thank you so very, very much. You’re my muse!!
Jeff
Thank you Jeff 🙂
Thank you so much for the pristine rip of YMMLY. One of my favourite tracks from Olivia. Her collaboration with Chloe and David Aude is growing on me, rapidly. I love that she’s still relevant. Carry on! 😀
Me too Silver Blue love the ne remake of “Magic” Olivia still the one we want 🙂
Thank you!! Finally a nice clean copy of ‘You Made Me Love You’.
You’re welcome Mike 🙂
