Wow Paul! How do you do that? This is another fantastic post. Like yesterday I love the band, the song and the remix is just brilliant. I’m so happy to get your high quality rip. Can’t wait to listen to it. I have also the german edition of this 12″ but my copy is only a standard black vinyl. You’re right the name of the remixer is not indicated. Whoever made it made a great work. I wonder if you also have the 12″ of “Babies” which was released in 1986 and the remixes are fine too. Thank you so… Read more »

It’s always a pleasure when you post something from Real Life Paul!! This band is excellent and I love their singles so very, very much. Wow, I don’t think I know this extended version either so it is a special day. Thank you Paul for presenting another cool single by them.
