Thank you Paul. Love this one!!!
Thanks, Paul. You’re killing it this week with Pretty Poison, Re-Flex and E.G. Daily. I didn’t know there was an earlier version of this song, but the 1988 version is definitely superior (IMHO). Still, this is a nice surprise and fun comparison.
A nice surprise to see this posted. The b-side with In The Heat Of The Night (Dub Mix) was a favourite of mine.
Thanks Paul 🙂
You’re welcome Mark 🙂
Great! Thanks a lot Paul!
You’re welcome Mothloop 🙂
Thanks so much for this Paul! I used to have this version; I think Svengali Records was their own label? Catch Me was a bit of an anomaly for the group.
You’re welcome No name 🙂
Another winning track in my book Paul. Looking forward to hearing these mixes. I am familiar more with the Virgin release so this is a special surprise. I so love going back in time with you and the others to hear the tracks that ignited our compulsion to dance and party!!

You’re welcome Jeff 🙂
Thanks for this Paul, yet another wonderful 80s track! Luckily some versions have appeared on cd, but not all official releases. These, the dance and dub mixes, are probably better remastered than the official cd-r and vinylrip I have!
You’re welcome Martijn 🙂
