Thank you very much Paul.
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 »
You’re welcome, Daniel. I love this record too it’s just a really fun record. Yes I do have “Babies” and I am sure I will post it 🙂
Perfect choice Paul. Please keep the new wave coming!
Thank you Omar 🙂
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.
Jeff
really good mix too bad they did not list the remixer it would be interesting to know who did this one. Enjoy Jeff 🙂
Paul, again you bring sheer happiness to me. I LOOOOOOOVE that song and the 12inch remix. I’m not at home yet but I am so looking forward to listening to FTF in PQ (Paulian quality 😉 )
Thank you a 1000 times.
You are welcome Song And Dance 🙂
