Hey Paul – any chance of a re-up on this one? Maybe even a re-recording on the new system?
please re up this links..thanks
Thanks for this post. Good job
I’m very new to internet, I can not imagine how he did to get a direct link to the file that does not even appear in the source code of the page, unless advertised direct link to the post. In that case I think he’s stupid enough to do it aside.
Thanks for your time and energy.
Thank you for posting this! I am desperate for this – my vinyl was destroyed years ago! I tried to download and used username and PW BTG, and it’s not working. Please help if you can.

Thank you Paul. I didn’t have this one.
Thank you!
Probably I’m wrong on this,but was the right name “Tom”,wasn’t it? I mean,Tom Lord-Alge,and not Chris.I always heard [and konwn] of Tom.
Hi Piffaed Chris Lord-alge is correct. Here is his Discogs page: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Chris+Lord-Alge
Tom and Chris are brothers and both awesome sound engineers and sometimes remixers.
Hi Paul.
Thanks to both you and Ric for clarification about it.
I remembered another great, Marilyn Martin -Night Moves 80’s love it!,, Stevie Nicks the best…thanks
Alexorder that is a great one I have been hunting the 12″ with a 5:18 12″ Version. If anyone knows a catolog number or where to find it please let me know.
There is a 12″ version for Night Moves? Woah…my 12″ only has the normal version 🙁
Possessive Love is another 12″ whose remix I’ve yet to hear, only have the 7″ but not 12″.
Point to the Brits for the right order of singles released from Rock A Little. They went with this first (and it became Stevie’s very first UK chart entry) and then Talk To Me. US went the other way round. I like Talk To Me, but just felt it lacked the energy and urgency for a lead single. I’m sure I Can’t Wait would’ve cracked the Billboard Top 10 had it been released first. Also, Stevie would not have needed to share it’s namesake with Nu Shooz in the Top 40. The week Stevie peaked at #16 with her song,… Read more »
