Thank you very much Paul!! I love that you can find it! It’s a real gem to any Spandau Baller fan!
Looking forward to hearing this one
Thanks Paul 🙂
Interesting one. Thanks!
Didn’t know this remix existed. Nice catch!
Never heard of it, thanks paul!
Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!!!!
I was hoping that this would someday cross my path.
Blimey!!! Never knew this was ever a single!
I love such surprises you bring us Paul!
Thank you Thank you!

Love Spandau Ballet but not familiar with this one. Missing the good ole days but thanks to you Paul, i can relive it again with your posts.
You’re welcome Gilbert 🙂

HI AGAIN PAUL, YESTERDAY I HAD TROUBLE WITH THE MP3 FILE, BUT I TRY AGAIN TODAY AND EVERYTHING WAS GOOD, I WANT TO THANK YOU ONCE MORE FOR BE AN EXCELLENT KIND DJ, AND BY THE WAY……DO YOU HAVE MUSIC OF Giant Steps IN PARTICULAR “The Book of Pride” 1988………..HAVE A NICE DAY OR NIGHT PAUL !!!!
