Thank you very much for this remix Paul. Do you happen to have the remix of The Boy In The Bubble by any chance? Cheers.
Oh man, this is fantastic! Huge Paul Simon fan, and have bought all the other remixes I’ve seen from this album, but hadn’t seen this. Thank you!!
I wasn’t aware of a 12-inch remix, so this is a very happy discovery for me. Paul, you so dazzle us with your fantastic choices and the care you take when you rip vinyl!! Love the enthusiasm here too. All of us that follow you are so blessed by your generosity and talents.
Big Hug!
Jeff
Great song from a brilliant album with a cool ”Extended Remix” on the 12” single.
Thanks Paul 🙂
I thought this song was about Imelda Marcos as a skate punk urchin in the golden 1980’s!
50 Ways, Slip Slidin’ Away and many more great songs from Paul Simon which are always in rotation and sure to cheer you up or remember the time you first heard it.
Good headphones fodder here with HQ lossless rip/encode.
DJ Paul with the BIG archive WIN!
Wow big thank you Paul!! Perhaps I should model this after Jeff’s comments, LOL. This has been on my list of purchases, so thank you big time. Love the Graceland album. I second Daniel’s comment.
Wow Paul! Fantastic post! I love this extended remix. Thanks to you we finally get a pristine remaster of this awesome mix. The album Graceland was re-released so many times but the record label did never get to include the 12″ mixes. It’s so shameful for the label. Thank you so much 🙂
You’re welcome, Daniel 🙂
Fantastic share Paul, thanks a lot! Specially love your posts of 12 inches not yet available on CD or digitally. And this is one of those! Just excellent.
I recall there’s also a single remix on a Warner US 7 inch promo. I think I’m going to investigate that one soon.
You’re welcome, Stefano it’s good to see you still around 🙂
Don’t worry, I didn’t go anywhere 🤣
