Thanks for this one Paul! I had no idea there was a 12″ for this one, such a nice song.
Thanks Paul!!! I was lucky to get the “One to One” CD reissue several years ago. This was a friend of mines favorite song, hes since passed away, but we had great times listening to this.
I dont think I’d ever heard the 12″ before, but its great!!!
HOLY MACKEREL !
I have been looking for this for Yonks.
There’s a different mix on the cassette of their LP.
I s’pose you know about them writing for the Pre-Pill Alanis Morissette ?
I don’t post comments very often, but I felt somewhat inclined to because I had never heard this song until I download it today. I have to say it reminds me a little bit of ‘Til Tuesday, which doesn’t surprise me because of the year this came out, 1985. Thanks for opening my ear to something new.
oh my, thanks. I’ve been looking for this for a long time. You have the habit of posting rare 12” s that i’m always looking for. Thanks again, Paul
Totally unfamiliar to me, but looking forward to hearing it based on how excited everyone is about it being here. Thanks! I love finding “new” music on your site.
Thanks for this one Paul, “There Was A Time (Remix)” is killer!
How ironic?! First, I was just listening to a remix of this song last night ( https://www.house-mixes.com/profile/Digital-Visions-ReEdits/play/one-to-one—angel-in-my-pocket-digital-visio ). Also, I was looking for There Was A Time because when she sings the chorus, she sounds just like Gwen Stefani! Check out the chorus and you’ll agree she sounds like Gwen especially in No Doubt’s Don’t Speak.
I guess this is an early birthday gift! My birthday’s tomorrow.
Thanks for the great rip and lost 80’s tracks!
Very cool Fred I agree she does sound like Gwen. Happy Birthday hope you have a great one! 🙂
now THIS is the track I have been looking for for years!! Rocket in the pocket is nowhere on cd, and I only have a very bad rip. Thanks a lot, and does anyone know why this 12 inch was not included in the 2010 reissue of Forward Your Emotions?
Thanks Paul, you made my week!!
You’re welcome Martijn van Heeringen 🙂
What an energetic confection this track is Paul!! Too bad this didn’t go further in the US!! I just love the drive of this song. I so love records like this. Thank you so very much for your spectacular rip. I keep thinking of E.G. Dailey, Madonna and Alisha in a way. Just a perfect record.
Jeff
You’re welcome Jeff 🙂
Wow Paul! What a big surprise! I always loved this single since I heard exactly this “Rocket in my pocket” Mix on the radio back in 1985. Both the song and the remix are brilliant. It is so powerful. Unfortunately I could never purchase this 12″. Once again you make me so deeply happy. While writing this comment I´m still in the office. Can´t wait to get home to listen to your rip. Thanks a million my dear friend.
I had a feeling that you would like this one Daniel. I thought of you while I was working on it 🙂
You can trust your feeling Paul. This is exactly the kind of music I love the most. When there’s a catchy tune like in this song. Your rip sounds crystal clear as usually. I’m so lucky because like that song, I’ve got an angel too. And that is you Paul. An angel that makes my deepest musical wishes come true. I can never thank you enough.
Daniel,
I so loved what you said. Paul really is an Angel that touches upon so much happiness and beauty with his rips. Your enthusiasm is contagious and your gratitude is so much appreciated. I am so pleased I’ve come across wonderful individuals like yourself. You really have a pure heart Daniel.
Have a terrific day!
Jeff
