Thanks Paul. I didn’t have this one.
Didn’t know about this one! Thanks, Paul 🙂 I’m a big fan of David Cole’s work.
I didn’t really like this song when it first came out, however this was a song that has really grown on me. Now it’s one of my favorite SM tracks…and thanks for these remixes.
See – its posts like these that make me check this site twice a day. THANK YOU!
Happy Weekend, Paul!
I know a lot of purists loathed his Abracadabra stint…but I love it! And I also love it that you posted this lesser chart hit of his…used to have the Extended on a mixtape back in 1986! Takes me back!
And I never knew it was David Cole in the mix! He was doing quite a bit of Rock mixes before he moved on to Freestyle and C+C.
Happy weekend Mr. Ric! I love this song and David Cole is pure magic at the mixing controls 🙂
EXCELLENT POST,HARD TO FIND 12″¡¡,grEetings and thanks from southamerica¡-MRDISCO
You’re welcome MRDISCO!
Excellent choice, Paul! A truly forgotten gem. And I love how songs like this peak so low on one chart and so high on another! I had never heard of the Kent Music Report before. Guess I’ll have to do a little research on it…thanks for the info AND for the great rips of this overlooked song.
Thank you Dan I am glad that you like this great 12″ I love posting stuff like this so that more people can find out about it. I believe the Kent Music Report is the Australian singles chart.
Thanx Paul!!! Great Stuff!!!
You’re very welcome Guss.
What do you mean by Final single? I remember a song called “Wild (or Wide) River” from the early 90’s (A really great song IMO).
Matracas it was a Wikipedia mistake I have fixed it.
Thanks for the clarification. Also; I’m sorry if I came off rude, wasn’t my intention.
No problem 🙂
