Wasn’t familiar with this song until now. Pretty cool! Thanks for the post 🙂
I really was not fan of this song…I always thought “Baby Please Don’t Let Me Go” would’ve been a much better choice for the third single but oh well. However this mix is pretty good and not to mention pretty rare too. Thanks for sharing all these Peter Wolf singles.
LOVE this rare stuff Paul, thank you SOOOOO much!!! Have a great weekend!
A fantastic post to round off this weeks posts.
Thanks for all your hard work, Paul 🙂
I’m not really familiar with Peter Wolf. I’ll take a good listen to all these posts you gave us this week.
Have a nice weekend!
Peter Wolf’s solo output is sadly underrated. Glad these 12-inch singles are seeing the light of day.
As always, Paul, keep up the good work. It is appreciated.
And if you could add “Come As You Are” to your Peter Wolf archive, I, for one, wouldn’t protest. 🙂
Have a happy weekend.
Paul, it would be so great if you could finish up the Peter Wolf dance disc collection. You’re the only one who seems to care about these under appreciated artists. I know a lot of us know J. Geils Band, but this solo stuff is gold. I’m hoping people will give it a listen (maybe a re-listen) and change their minds. If you don’t want to continue with the postings, I still want to let you know how grateful I am. I am just loving these songs. I miss the rock remix so much. They don’t do it like they… Read more »
Aloha Paul, just want to say a big Mahalo for all the cool 12″mixes you post. You’ve helped me make my own Homemade Deluxe Edition of several album (iPod mixes) over the last several years.
You always take care to write a quick informative review of what you are posting, and I can tell you take wonderful care of your Record collection… your sound quality is always excellent.
Your site in one of the pages I check just about everyday to see what cool stuff you’re playing.
Thanks for everything you do.

Aloha Puffinrandy thanks so much. Have a great weekend 🙂
Oo-Ee-Diddley-Bop! I’m about to blow my top!! Seriously Paul!! I’m really about to EXPLODE!! This is my favorite single from Mr. Wolf. Actually, it’s all because of the fierce remix by Arthur Baker and those insane edits by Tony Moran and Albert Cabrera, better known as The Latin Rascals!! When I first discovered Arthur Baker’s work, I would tirelessly search the record stores for 12-inches bearing his name. Mr. Baker’s remixes always had those BIG BOOMING drums and wonderful extra productions added to the record. He would actually re-produce the record. I always thought he made the records better than… Read more »
Jeff I think your comment made up for all of the missing comments during this weeks run. I thought the Peter Wolf posts would go over better oh well can’t win them all. Just knowing that you and a few others are elated is worth all of the work. This particular record was a bit of a challenge there was quite a bit of surface noise on it and it was hard to decipher what crackle belonged and what didn’t.I think it turned out well. Thank you for the insight into Mr. Baker recruiting those Latin Rascals. Hope you recover… Read more »
