Many thanks for this great 12-inch. Happy Thanksgiving!
you’re welcome
Got this awesome 12″ myself so thanks for your fab Richie rip!
A deserving #1 in the Dance charts, and love the Diana-Daryl-Arthur triple combo!
you’re welcome Ric
Great rip of this release!
I’ve downloaded some tracks before and the quality is always very good.
Only one thing about the long version: at 1:27 minutes I hear a “click” from the record. Is it impossible to repair or did you (maybe) forgot it?
And finally I also found the instrumental version in good quality. Thanks!
Mike, as a human being, I am by no means perfect, it’s just one that I missed. other than that, glad you enjoyed the record
Thank you for this awesome remix! It’s such a shame that it hasn’t been released on cd up to now so far… Therefore it’s twice as nice to have it in FLAC quality thanks to your efforts.
my pleasure 2wicky, enjoy
One of my absolute favourite 12″ singles, in fact when I restarted my vinyl collection a few years back, this was one of the first records I picked up. Nice work Richie !
2wicky – The long version was finally released on CD this year – check out Dance Classics Volume 47 & 48 – this ongoing series from Rodeo Media in the Netherlands is essential for those hard to find 12″ mixes and excellent sound quality too. I use http://www.vinyl-masterpiece.com/ for this series and they have been extremely reliable.
Thanks Richie. Didn’t have this one either.
Thanks for all your hard work with these release. I know how much effort is required to get these transfers done. Keep it up, you’re doing an excellent job!
thank you, enjoy!
