Hello Paul, hope you are keeping well.
Love this Pet Shop Boys 12″ promo, it captures all my favorite tracks into one mega mix.
Have you got Kim Wilde – Rage To Love 12″ just love the extended version.
Hi John I will check on the Kim Wilde 12″.
Thank You Paul, that will be great, I’m just been listening to Kim’s last album Here Come The Aliens and I think it’s fantastic, plus Kids in America 94 on YouTube, only found out about this track a few years ago but it was not released in the UK, anyway take care.
This is great. I always loved one of the featured tracks Being Boring from them. I got the cd single a few years ago.
Thanks Paul 🙂
You’re welcome, Marco 🙂

You’re welcome, skiler 🙂
The mix is too good, it is appreciated with a big hug
You’re welcome transito 🙂
I used to have a copy that I’d kept unplayed since 1991 / 92 but sadly, it was among quite a few that were taken and sold by a ‘family’ member (unfortunately you just can’t choose ’em!), two years ago. Complaining aside, it’s so good to see this here. At least I can listen to it in high quality audio instead of the 128k mp3 I had before today. Thank you, Paul.
You’re welcome Steven 🙂
It’s such a joyous occasion whenever you post a megamix or a remix service version. Paul, I’m ever so elated having you back posting. It’s been a great week so far, but please don’t overdo it. Please concentrate on your wellness, healing and rest. Yes, we love the music, but we LOVE you more!!
Thanks again for this re-up!!
Jeff
