I hope your day job is working for an art department at a record label!
These are better covers than most I’ve seen
I’m sorry, no, not really, I just have a lot of time and like to do crafts. I’m happy if you like it.
WOW! Again, I was unaware that there mixes other than the Metal Mix. This week is turning out pretty well so far! Full of stunning surprises! THANK YOU!!!
You’re welcome, Martika 🙂
Hi & thankyou! A kind request for “Hold On”, aka 1987’s New Wave masterpiece by “The Models”… There’s many 7* easily available & honestly this is such a fantastic, emotive, epic song.
Thanks so much for posting this Paul. PE are one of my favourite bands. Unfortunately (in my opinion) the re-recorded songs for the 1987 album aren’t as good as the original tracks. To over-produced for my liking. They were great synth/guitar tracks, but adding the heavy drums etc. completely changes them, and I personally don’t like them.
But as I said, thanks Paul, some will love them. 🙂👍
You’re welcome 🙂
Hearing these songs, I keep scratching my head and wondering why they weren’t bigger here. I’ll never understand why certain artists make it while others don’t. Thanks Paul for your passion for Pseudo Echo!!

You’re welcome, Jeff 🙂
Oh Yeah Baby! Living In A Dream and Stanger in Me are two of my faves! Thanks for this gem!
Mine too! You;re welcome 🙂
Wow we’re not worthy, lol!! I’m really loving the production of these mixes! I love the AOR Americanized techno rock sound they adopted for this album and the singles. Should have been much bigger hits here in the States! Thank you for another meticulous transfer, and thank you for this artist deep dive. You really put Pseudo Echo on the map for me!
You’re welcome, I am Glad to hear you are enjoying these tracks, retro Hound. 🙂
