Ah, the remix of the Top 40 pop record!! Paul, if it weren’t for you, these classics would certainly be ignored and/or lost. I love these Rick Springfield dance versions because of their fleshed-out energy and all the bells and whistles a remixer would include on them. Thanks most highly for putting these on your site. I so cherish the rare remix that has escaped memory for way too long!!
Best Regards,
Jeff
Greattttttt!!!!!!. excelent track. thanks
A bit faster than the original, though that did well as a single in Australia. The whole album “Chemistry” by Mondo Rock is a good one.
Thank you Paul!!!
You’re welcome Guss 🙂
Saw him in Milwaukee few weeks ago for his Stripped Down Tour was a great show always good when you see him live! He took Q&A from the crowd after the show never seen that before after a concert.
He is a really cool guy that just keeps on going 🙂
Very cool to this remix by Alan Coulthard. I thought Rick did a great cover version.
Thanks for posting Paul 🙂
You’re welcome Junior 🙂
