Thank you Paul. This has been an amazing week. I made some great discoveries. For me Totally Obscure 80s is the best series here on BTG. Hope that it will go on. And like today’s track
Have a nice day and a great weekend.
Thank you, Daniel. Have a nice weekend 🙂
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!!
