Wow Paul! Just discovered your post. What a big surprise to see a Saturday post. I love this single and the Luongo mixes are brilliant. These obscure 80s posts are always welcome. Thank you so much Paul. You are still and will always be my hero 🙂

You are spoiling us with these John Luongo mixes recently. Very much appreciated of course.

Thanks again, Paul 🙂

Top notch audio rip.

Thanks for so much for this one. There were rumors a few years ago that this LP would make it CD, but I don’t think it ever happened. (And honestly, I suspect your rip probably sounds better than most of the tapes would have been.)

In fact, there is a Spanish bootleg floating out there. But it’s the LP
rip with two bonus tracks. Some years ago an attempt was made to launch a fundraising campaign to be able to remaster the album with demos and special versions in a 3 cd box set. But the goal was not reached and the project was scrapped. Two years later Paul Goodchild passed away. His daughter currently owns the rights to his music. Regards.

Thank you very much for sharing this single Paul. Hopefully you can upload at some other time the remaining 2 singles that were released from his only album. You have brightened up my Saturday afternoon with good music. Have a great weekend!!!

John Luongo is all I need to see to want to give this a listen! Thanks! I do not know this one that I remember, but look forward to it! Maybe it will make my next “Truly Lost ‘80’s”mixtapes!

This shocked me, Paul!! It’s a rarity to get a Saturday post from you, but this is a marvelous occasion to get something really good! I am familiar with this artist because of Razormaid! productions, but I’ve never heard this original twelve inch. Thank you for these John Luongo mixes. He really is one of the best remixers we have come to know. I love that you celebrate his body of work on your site!!

Have a great weekend Paul and thank you so very much for a very cool record!!!
