Awesome!!!! Thank you for more Winwood, Paul!
Osom, thanks Paul, clap clap clap ¡¡¡, Oscar for you.
Ohhhh 2 Winwood posts in less than a month?! Does this possibly mean there’s more wonderful 80’s Steve to come? (he said with hope in his voice lol)
Yet another amazing vinyl rip as always Paul – thank you
Thanks Paul. 🙂
Thank You Paul for another cool Steve Winwood post, always a pleasure to listen to his music.
You’re welcome John 🙂
Hi, Paul,
I’m sorry to bother you, but the 24bit FLAC of the Dance Mix seems to be corrupted.
Nevertheless THANK YOU!
Christian
I have downloaded it twice Christian and it works fine for me. Make sure you let the download finish completely 🙂
Thanks, it worked, but I don’t really know what went wrong the first two times.
Kind regards,
Christian
This is another fantastic post. What an amazing week! Tom Lord Alge did a great work on these remixes . They are hypnotic. Many many thanks Paul.
P.S. Thank you Jeff for your beautiful reply from yesterday. You are a wonderful person. Paul’s hard work and your comments are so unique and precious. I’m so thankful to know you.
And a happy birthday wish goes out to Fred.
You’re very welcome Daniel 🙂
Great post Paul! Love the Steve Winwood remixes. And Fred, glad you enjoyed my post of the Stevapella Mix!
How funny is that?! Nice to meet you, Retro Hound!
Likewise Fred!
So cool to see more Steve Winwood posted after “Higher Love” recently.
Cheers Paul 🙂
You’re welcome Mark 🙂
Fantastic rip, Paul! I had never heard this before…I had always heard the Steveappella mix which seems to have only been released on cd single.

This adds to my birthday fun today! Thanks again for your hard work!
Thank you, Fred. Hope you are having a beautiful Birthday 🙂
It’s because of you dear Paul that I’m on a Steve Winwood kick! I mean, he’s so good and I love it that you keep on introducing me to dance versions of records I may or may not have heard before. It’s so refreshing to get a beautifully rendered track by you. So much time, energy and love goes into your outstanding rips!! I am just humbled by your generosity!! It really means so very, very, VERY MUCH!!!
Jeff
P.S. A Happy Birthday wish to Fred. Fred, I sincerely enjoy your comments concerning classic records. Awesome!
Thanks! I’m glad my comments are helpful and hopefully people end up checking out the links and additional mixes that the artists released.
Have fun!
All around great 12″ Jeff. The b-side mixes are cool dub/instrumentals 🙂
