Thank you very much Paul
Not totally certain if I know this song, the title isn’t ringing a bell. Let’s find out 🙂
Thanks Paul! So happy to have this. It always reminds me of summer.
Love Marshall Jefferson and Juan Atkins, more of both please. The rare as hens teeth promo only People Hold On (Magic Juan) by Lisa Stansfield? Cheers tho Paul!
Thank you, Paul. One of my favorite TTC tracks!
You’re most welcome Dean 🙂
I was always fascinated that they changed the track list at the last minute and had to use that (poorly aligned) sticker. I may have even peeled it off my copy to see what was originally planned 😉
I was tempted to peek Christian but I never did so what is behind that sticker will remain a mystery for me 🙂
Loved this single back in the day; a bit more subdued than earlier Tom Tom Club but a great song nonetheless. Thanks for posting!
You’re most welcome VanceMan 🙂
This is a wonderful single, thank you!
You’re welcome Isaiah 🙂
I don’t remember this single either, but i’m looking forward to hearing it.
Thanks Paul 🙂
Hope you like it Junior 🙂
I did like it 🙂
I love the Tom Tom Club Paul. I can’t say I remember this single, but that’s one of the reasons I adore BTG and you because you introduce and re-introduce songs that may have slipped my consciousness the first time around. Looking forward to the download. You’re awesome!
Jeff
Thank you jeff hope you like the remixes :0
Terrific song for Summer Paul. I am diggin’ the vibe here, especially on the Dance and Club mixes. Ah, the Tom Tom Club is just so funky with that island feel. I could almost smell the sun oil and hear the seagulls!! It was cool seeing Marshall Jefferson and Juan Atkins here too. They were really big back in the day. That’s another reason I love what you do Paul in that you preserve a lot of Dance Music’s movers and shakers with your beautiful sonic archives. I love your passion and talent and that sunny personality that comes shining… Read more »
I am so happy that you like this one Jeff I kinda thought you would. It is a perfect summer track. I felt the cool breezes and could hear the surf. ssh bech life 🙂
Hey Paul, you make a perfect work on this rip, and a question, would you have the 12″ and 7″ of New Order’s: Blue Monday, it will be great if you post it in BTG.
I only have the 12″ Richard will try to post it as soon as i can 🙂
Thank you very much Paul.
Thanks Paul. I love this single.
You’re welcome Omar L)
