Hi Paul,
interesting tracks, both pretty good. I didn’t recognise the name of the group but when I checked out “I Eat Cannibals” on Youtube, I certainly remember that. I see you’ve done it twice before, but might I request a future re-rip? Thank’s for posting many obscurities along with the hits.
Dear, very good song, from a female group that here in Chile, only had a minor impact, but in some clubs this song was played, along with its previous hit “I Eat Cannibals”, thank you very much for sharing it, greetings
Song seems a copy of Bony M’s Rasputin! The opening bars of music identical. 😉

thanks for the updated rip Paul. You actually first posted this in 2010…the 2013 post was itself a re-rip.
You’re welcome, Ian thanks for keeping me on my toes 🙂 I knew I had posted this in 2010 pretty sure this third post will be the best and last 🙂
Rock hard and throbbing.
Thank you Paul. This song is pure fun and the remix is awesome. Your Halloween collection is really tremendous. There is only one scary song that I miss here. That’s Propaganda’s Dr Mabuse. It wasn’t released in the US but I’m sure you have it too 🙂
I think I have it, Daniel I will check 🙂
thank you… maybe Cliff Richard – My Pretty One (Extended Mix) next upload?
Sorry, I do not have it.
The last time I heard this song was 35 years ago at Cheap Thrills music shop in New Brunswick, NJ. Another reminder of my college days. Thanks for the memories Paul.
You’re very welcome, Bill 🙂
Toto Coelo is so much fun. Loved “I Eat Cannibals” and because of you Paul, so admired this song too. Because of you, I have made killer Halloween party compilations that blow what’s released professionally out of the water. The labels need to contact you for Halloween collections to come out right.
Thanks Paul for incredible and “spooktacular” records all these years!!!
Jeff
You’re welcome, Jeff thanks so much for your praise 🙂
