Oh man, thanks so much for this! “Tao” is such an underrated album. I wore out my tape in college.

Thanks for this re-rip Paul. It seems that you already posted this single in 2012 (on February 24th), am I right? I have your old rip on one of my 30 compilation-CDs of “DJ PaulT’s fantastic remasters”. Gonna compare the 2 rips but for sure your new transfer will sound much better, like everytime when you post a re-rip.

I didn´t know it was a rare Germany-only 12inch. So I´ll cherish my record even more. As I said before, you live you learn, right? “Celebrate Youth” was Rick´s only real chart success over here. Shame.

Heaps of praise to you DjPaulT for digging up this rarity. I love Rick Springfield!! I do have the “12-inch Collection” but this track is not on it. How cool is this!! I can’t thank you enough for this one. I so love these dance rock 12-inches. Man, you’ve made me so very happy Paul, like you always do.

Amazed and grateful beyond all recognition!
