Hi, Thank you for using your magic & bringing us this great 12″ mix. I remember buying the 7″ single when I was about 12 years old. Thank you
You’re welcome Richard 🙂
I’ll echo the other posters thanking you for putting these classic Associates 12″ singles up. I still have all these but no turntable. I have these tracks on cd but the 12″ singles sound the best, no question. I hope you can keep this going for a while! Thanks again – The Associates have always been one of my favorite bands!
Thank you John. I still have a few more to go 🙂
Classic..
