This is dynamite Paul. I love this woman. It was so cool hearing it the megamix you posted for the new year so now it’s especially exciting because we now have the full version. And a remix of her “Toy Boy” to boot! I’m in heaven. Thanks for giving us our sugary club mix fix!!

You’re welcome, Jeff the megamix did put this back into my consciousness.
This song puts Bananarama’s “Love In The First Degree” back into my consciousness since it is almost exactly the same song. What a perfect example of the assembly-line mentality and production methods of Stock-Aitken-Waterman and exactly the kind of single The KLF simultaneously ridiculed and worshipped.
Hello friend Paul, thank you very much for sharing this music, greetings from Chile.
You’re welcome, Pablo 🙂
