Being a massive Soft Cell fanatic, I always welcome records that contain either Marc or Dave. Great credentials on this one Paul (I like Clock DVA too!) and I’m really looking forward to playing this.

Thank you for this week’s tracks. I’ve made some amazing discoveries as always when it comes to you.

Have a great weekend Paul!!
