Would love to see more Jets records!!!! Love your site!!!!
Obrigado.
Thank you!!!!
FINALLY. MAN, I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!!
Thanks for this. Someone above mentioned exclusive UK mixes: I really hope you have these; I remember when “Crush On You” came out there was a standard 12″, and the remix 12″ followed a few weeks later (and it was blinding). Long lost, would love to hear it again….
Thanks for posting this record, Paul! Your rip sounds great! Would be happy to see more of The Jets added to your blog at some point.
Paul,
Thanks so much for posting this!!
Thanks Paul! In Brazil Today is the National day of the vinyl record!
Another great post Paul! The Jets has a lot of mixes exclusively released on 12″ vinyl only. I was wondering if you have the UK 12″ single. It has different mixes – the PWL Phil Harding Remix and by Dakeyne (DMC dj i think) whose mix is called Crush. Thanks again.
Thanks Paul. 🙂
Woooow Pault muchas gracias por este aporte, de pronto mas adelante “Make it Real” ?
thanks for the variety – and for a bit of music from Hawaii!
You’re welcome Martijn 🙂
If I remember “Cross My Broken Heart” and some great mixes 🙂 Thanks for this did not know there was a mix of this track 🙂
You’re welcome keeganskylar 🙂
Thank you as always…so need more of the Jets.
You’re welcome Hugh I do have more for the future 🙂
I absolutely love the uniqueness to your Burning The Ground site Paul. I’m so relieved that you are multi-faceted and that you love and honor a huge spectrum of musical genres. Sure, I love the obscure and the underground and more alternative songs you post, but I am forever about the guilty pleasures too that have leaked through the cracks and/or are ignored by radio stations today. It is a revelation to have you disc jockey all sorts of records for our ears. It’s great, in so many cases, to re-hear these songs again under your careful consideration of quality… Read more »
Thank you Jeff. I never know exactly what to say. Your comments are so thoughtful I appreciate them so much.
Hugs 🙂
