Paul,Thanks for posting this, actually my name is Bert Bevans and I remixed both Dominoes and C’est La Vie
Thank you very much Paul.
Wow! Thanks, Paul! I totally forgot about this song — and I loved it, back in its time. I had a different version or pressing of this on vinyl, myself. Thanks for reminding me of it! 🙂 I’d love to know if you have the “C’est La Vie” remixes! 🙂
C’est La Vie” has already been posted 🙂
Hello ! do you Have ( Zino – Promotional Disc 1984 ) ? if you Have it . i hope you will post it . all the Best to you !
This was a very good follow-up single to the smash hit C’est la vie. Unfortunately it didn’t get the success it deserved. I always loved that song. Paul I’m so happy to get your crystal clean rip of these superb exclusive mixes. Thanks a lot.
Paul. Thanks .
Somebody like you 12″ please
Many thanks Mr.Paul,
You give us always many amazing 12inches
and this is one of the best (signed by A.Baker with J.Vasquez, wow)
…such an editing!!!
Any chance to complete the A.Baker’s work with “the extended vocal remix”
and the “dom dom dub”?
I’ve always been connected with your site and your fantastic community
even if I wasn’t commenting.
Keep up your awesome work!
Love this song, so many thanks!! Any chance of ‘Wot’s it to ya’? BTW i’ve just checked your Robbie Neveil posts and the first has a picture of Olivia Newton John. Is that correct??
Thanks for letting me know Neil not sure why that happened but I corrected it 🙂
Hey Paul, I’m so excited that you posted this song. Domino, was Eclipse’s sister and every time I hear the word, I always think of her. It might sound a bit silly, but I am obsessed about my babies and all. Still, I am really intrigued by this single. I really like Robbie Nevil’s work and I get all hyped-up when you post something by him. I hope there are some cool edits here as well.
Thanks again,
Jeff
That’s a great story Jeff. This has some fab edits. Enjoy! 🙂
You know Paul, I could have never imagined, in my wildest dreams, of coming to a website that has so much of the music I love and obsess over. You have proven yourself over the years my hero, a kindred spirit who has so many of my musical sensibilities! WOW!! Your discography here is fierce!! You have so many of Arthur Baker’s phenomenal productions of which can’t be compared with!! Mr. Baker, as you know is one of my favorite producers of all time. Him, John Robie and so many of the Edit Kings are all here on this shrine… Read more »
Okay, please forgive the ribald statement, but I blew my wad over the “All Fall Down Free Beats.” Paul, you are the keeper of bombastic beats!! I am covered in my secretions!! Phenomenal!!!
Jeff
Never mind your enthousiasms. You remind me of when extasy and ‘velocity’ jumped hoops together on a saturdaynight and had a baby – shouting, singing and waving his hands already – before he got even got birthed completely.
In a good, smiling way, ofcourse 🙂
