Great track. I never knew about the dub. Thanks.
Ah, back in the day when you couldn’t throw a rock without hitting something Bob Clearmountain worked on…great post!
I do have this vinyl myself & felt the original rip was missing most of the high end sparkle that I’d hear when I played my own copy.
That is NO LONGER the case! This re-rip sounds amazing & just like it should. Thank You!
We are approaching the end of the year, where many memories came to our thoughts and what better place to do it than this incredible music library. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for having offered all those musical jewels, God bless that wonderful work of giving us a smile and happiness to all the melancholic hearts of the 80’s. Thank you for your effort and dedication. Receive from Colombia a big hug, sure worldwide there are thousands who join this message of thanks. THANKS! EN ESPAÑOL….:) Nos aproximamos a un cierre de año, donde muchos recuerdos… Read more »
Thank you Paul, I Love this track, one of the best remix of Simple Minds.
Hi Paul,
Thanks for posting a track from Simple Minds,
which is one of my favorite bands. I didn’t
really like the Once Upon A Time era, since
it seemed too American Pop, but there were
some good tracks on it, and some great remixes.
I could live without the backing vocals though.
Anyways, thanks for another great transfer,
and have a great weekend.
Thanks for all the special tracks this week.

Thanks Paul! Probably their greatest single, now in stellar quality.
You’re welcome Retr Hound 🙂
Paul, I´m just listening to the dub mix. At approx 2:37 there is a sudden increase in the volume. I don´t remember whether that´s in the original.
I did not notice it while I was working on it but now after listening I do hear it. I think it might be the UK pressing I found one on youtube and I think it sounds the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T67myWZzc1g
That’s interesting. I’ll check my 12inch tomorrow.
Hey Paul
My German edition does it, too. And moreover, I noticed it sounds like a cut. The edit there is a fraction too early if I´m not totally crazy. Bad production, I guess. Or maybe
it´s just me 😉 Love to hear more Simple Minds. My favourites from their golden period are Waterfront, Up On The Catwalk and – my no 1 – Speed Your Love To Me.
Have a great weekend, Paul!
Fantastic song and remixes from Simple Minds´ good old times. Have it (of course) and love it. The 12inch edits are just great.
A stellar vinyl transfer. Your vinyl rips sound far better than the cd versions Paul.
+1 Really better, for many cases.
Paul, you have this record?

All the publishers had forgotten about it. The long version of “Only Solutions” is only available here. 🙁
Ah, the famous “SepErate Ways” sleeve 😉
Sorry I don’t but just added it to my wantlist.
Thank you, Omar 🙂
Totally agree. Paul’s rips blow CD versions out of the water.
I’m really happy about this new rip Paul. I so love this record, especially the dub version. I can’t wait to check it out. Thanks for a great week of music Paul. Have a wonderful weekend!!
Jeff
Have a great weekend, Jeff 🙂
