I love this song Paul. Thank you for bringing it to my attention again.
excellent choice & more Furs always welcome!
Heartbeat (New York Remix)!!!
I only have the 7″ mix from “Here Came The Psychedelic Furs: B-Sides & Lost Grooves” compilation.

You’re very welcome David. What a cool memory you shared with us that must have been very exciting. I love that mix and it is one of my all-time favorites. 🙂
