Thanks a lot for this Paul – you ROCK!
Fantastic post Paul!! I love this underrated tune, especially the extended mix. I had this 12 inch, but not in great quality. Thank you as always!!
You’re welcome, my friend. Enjoy 🙂
Don’t work the link to WeTransfer…
Works fine on my end.
Cool post! Live Peter Wolf & his stuff with JGB (we’ll definitely Freeze-Frame). Lights Out us another classic, excited to hear this… catching up on a bunch of BTG stuff as we speak!
I hope you enjoy it, ING 🙂
Peter Wolf makes the best music!! Either solo or with J. Geiles Band, it’s incredible music to get one up on the dance floor. I treasure all your rips of his twelve-inch catalog so I can’t wait to hear this one. Thank you, Paul, for these dance rock records! Scanning the credits here, it looks like this one will too be up my alley!!!
Grateful,
Jeff
You’re welcome, Jeff 🙂
Posted “Come As You Are” a while I might do a new transfer at some point.
It would be interesting, there are 2 versions of that song, the extended one, which is fabulous, and the masquerade mix, which in its time in my country never reached massively and I think one or two dee jays had it and they were exclusive
