I don´t think I´ve ever heard the long version of “One Thing”. I like its relentlessness, chuffing and puffing on like a train. Like Jeff I was very excited to listen to RTB dub mix and it´s bloody FABULOUS. Thank you Paul, love it.
You’re welcome Song_and_Dance 🙂
Thank you, waiting Kajagoogoo Hang On Now 12″ with “B2” Intruduction (instrumental) so great, thanks bro…
You’re welcome. No need to keep asking I have it on my list and will post it when I can 🙂
When I worked at my old college radio station, MCA records would give us promos and my friend swiped this record for himself. The mix was fantastic and it took me years to obtain this mix on compact disc. I’m just so happy to have it now courtesy of you Paul because your rips are so scintillating and phenomenal!! Plus, I’m really jazzed to hear the dub of “Reach The Beach” on the flip-side!!
Thank you for your hard work, always!!! Enjoy your weekend and everybody here too!!!
Jeff
You’re very welcome Jeff 🙂
