Great post Paul, as always. Love the commentary by Negative 1. He’s quite knowledgeable with the bands he loves and I appreciate his comments.

Thank’s Paul, Three top songs. I think Simple Minds in the 80s were among the best. They never seemed quite the same to me after Mick MacNeil left.
You’re welcome, Greg 🙂
This looks amazing!! This was “our song” for me and my first girlfriend, Trisha. Thank you!!!
You’re welcome, Grant 🙂
Love this single, thanks!
You’re welcome, Retro Hound 🙂

But its too numerous to… Read more »
Thanks for your reply and knowledge -1.
Thank you, Paul!
You’re welcome, Skiler 🙂
Thanks Paul. I got the Once Upon A Time deluxe cd set a few years ago. But some of the tracks were mastered too loud. Your vinyl rips are far better.
I agree with you Omar the CD is mastered wy too loudly. 🙂
