In my wildest dreams, I wouldn’t have expected you to bust out an OMD block like this one, Paul! I may have had to endure that multi-post run of Wham! 😉 but this is compensation in a big way! Thank you! I hope it continues…

Thanks Paul – didn’t know you would post this request so quick! This means that all tracks of OMD (mostly dub/single/instrumental versions) that have not appeared on cd anywhere are posted here in very good quality!

It’s been such a wonderful week Paul. First and foremost, having you back means the world to me. And second, the OMD singles have been quite the thrill. I can tell from reading all the comments, everyone is just as excited! You really are amazing Paul. Thank you!
