Love Robbie Neville. X
Thanks Paul. 🙂
WOW! Love it! Also – checked my hard drive and I have HEAPS of his material – just made a lovely Expanded Special Wolfie 2014 iTunes album with the bonus mixes! Thanks Paul xxx
Wow! I loved C’est La Vie Wots It To Ya and Dominoes 12’s
Never heard this – thank soooo much x
Looking forward to hearing these remixes. Great song!
Thanks Paul 🙂
Thank you Paul!!! I love this mixes & club mixes.
You’re welcome Guss 🙂
Robbie is an awesome singer and writes catchy pop songs.
Such a shame things went downhill after Çest La Vie.
This is a groovy single with great Jellybean & C+C remixes, and even Somebody Like You is excellent.
Third album Day 1 is also an enjoyable album but again met with little success.
Paul, thanks for your rip, and more importantly for introducing this underrated single to more BTGers!
Ric it’s always nice to hear from you. I enjoyed his work also pity he didn’t remain in the spotlight longer 🙂
Thank you for posting! I love this song, and hadn’t heard these mixes of it before. Robbie Nevil was one of my favorite artists in the late 80s. Back in the day, had bought all of his albums.
You’re welcome JustMe 🙂
Great song, loved this one back in 88. Nice post, thanks Paul!
You’re welcome Stefano 🙂
I haven’t heard this song before. Looking forward to checking it out! Thanks for it 🙂
Sounds good – had a chance to listen – thanks!
Happy New Year, Paul.
Happy New Year Candido!
Would love to hear your rips of C’est la vie, What’s it to ya and Dominos!
I’ve got all three Neil see what I can do 🙂
Wow!
Me too, loved all Robbie Nevil’s hits but the Remix to “Wot’s It To Ya” was much better than the album version and has never seen a digital source release, would love to hear it on here.
We’ve finally got one today!!
Oops OMG replying to myself. Priceless! And we have C’est la vie since this too
I’m so interested in hearing this single Paul. I remember seeing it in the shops when it came out, but I admit that I’m not at all familiar with the song. Looking forward to hearing it though. I was a fan of his two biggest hits and now, because of you, I get to go a little further into his discography. That’s the beauty of you Paul and BTG, I’m always introduced to things that might have fallen through the cracks in my own musical upbringing. You’re amazing DjPaulT!!
Jeff
I think you’ll like it Jeff Jellybean does a great job on the remix.
Not heard this!
Thanks for the rip Paul.. 🙂
You’re welcome Ex15 🙂
