Thank you very much Paul. I can now retire my copy.
Yessssss !!!!!!
Thank you sooo much Paul!!!!!
Thank you very much for posting this Paul! I have the CD Single but it only contains the 7″ and 12″ mixes. Great to hear the b-side and dubs again…
Any chance that you have the infamous Mother Earth 12″ single by Underworld?
It’s been a while since i’ve visited but looking forward to browsing what i’ve missed. Glad to see some more Underworld posted meanwhile.
Thanks as ever Paul 🙂
Big Red X = Big Giant Thanks!
You’re welcome Thomas 🙂
Oh wow! Another classic Sire 12-inch. Those two “Underworld v. 1” albums are great despite the fact that the band has disavowed them. 🙂
This gives me hope that we might one day see rips of a couple of other overlooked Sire maxi singles: namely Figures on a Beach’s “Accidentally 4th Street (Gloria)” and “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet.” Good times!
I will see what I can do about the requests Don 🙂
Thanks very much, Paul. Love this song (especially the 12″ version). Another record I own, but will happily grab your version for the great sound quality. Thanks for dropping the awesome, and on a Tuesday no less. (Okay, I don’t really know what that means either, but that’s what my fingers typed).
You’re welcome miran0019. Hey sometimes you just gotta let your fingers do the typing 🙂
Thanks Paul. 🙂
You’re welcome Kent 🙂
What an unexpected joy to see this !!! Fantastic choice Paul 🙂
Thank you Jay 🙂
I got the Album with that track and never heard the 12” . Thank you soo much for givin’ this pearl to us. I can still remember myself dancin’ to this tune – love it 🙂
Best wishes
Patric
Thank you Patric. Enjoy 🙂
PAUL!! You certainly have the greatest knack in choosing the ultimate records to post!! I…..AM……SO……EXCITED!!! Can you hear me screaming!! I love this record tremendously. And here you go, posting all the mixes too. I loved Underworld in this incarnation. Sure, I loved Freur and their “Doot Doot” and later their MASSIVE “Born Slippy” and “Pearls Girl” but I absolutely LOVE this version of the band. Thank you for dusting this off and polishing it to jewel like status (like you always do!!). You thrill me beyond words. This and the other single you posted awhile back are my faves… Read more »
You are so welcome Jeff you taught me something I had no idea thaat Freur were a pre Underworld band love “Doot Doot”.
Good stuff… A band that truly changed with the times.
And that song Doot Doot… That one reminds me of early Tears For Fears.
