Yes! My prayers were answered (boy you came in the nick of time)! Haha. Wrong artist.
I absolutely love Regina. Her album “Curiosity” is mid-80s pop perfection. So many great tracks. I only wish a company like Cherry Red would remaster it for us all to enjoy without spending $70 on eBay (it seems to be a rarity on CD!). Thankfully we have you to give us all these hard to find mixes, like these two here.
Thank you so much for all your care with these rather obscure artists/songs! I’m super grateful. xo
You’re welcome Raymond. I would like to see “Curiosity” re-issued but not by Cherry some of their work is good but I have been burned a few times by dodgy releases from them. It is an album worth checking out 🙂
I totally get that! They’ve had to recall a lot of albums. Edsel also seems to be guilty of that. I think these companies need to slow down on quantity and focus more on quality. Like that Belinda release with the long awaited inclusion of “In My Wildest Dreams”. I guess it was a crappy YouTube rip rather than a studio master.
I would just love to see it (Curiosity) on the market again. Along with Alisha’s catalog, namely “Nightwalkin'”. So many great albums, sadly long out of print.
Again, thank you so much for your work!
Much love

I discover this song and I already love it. It’s really catchy and the remixes are great as well. Thank you Paul for another great post.
That’s great Daniel glad to hear you love it 🙂
Oh how you tickle my fancy, Paul, with your varied selections. I love how you rescue an artist’s back catalog from oblivion! I was very familiar with Regina’s “Baby Love” but now, I have her other great twelves from you. You have a total of five Regina songs on your site and this is indeed, wonderful. I love the girls from the 80’s. Another one of my favorites of which you have presented to us is, Alisha. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for preserving her catalog as well, along with Regina’s. You really make us all incredibly… Read more »
You are very kind Jeff I love this song it’s very catchy and uplifting. I think I prefer it over “Baby Love” a great set of mixes here. I suggest if you are not familiar with this one give it a listen 🙂
