Happy Thanksgiving to you, Richie!
Thank you for your Rock Jams!
Thank you for your Soulful Grooves!
Thank you for your Dose of Humour!
Thank you for Fun With Vinyl!
btw, this second 12″ with remixes rocks!
Thank you very much and please keep em coming!!
Excellent! Always loved this song but never had the remixes.
This is just fantastic!!! I heard this mix on the radio once back in ’87 and never saw it anywhere, never heard it again, never found it on share sites, nothin’. So this is a bit of a dream come true to finally hear it – and hear it in such a stellar rip!!! =)
Thank you!
I really appreciate your efforts, this is one of my favorite songs of the 80′s, a fantastic mix of Blues, sad love song and Funk Rock. Not often you heard such a song with that mood back then, or now.
Other appreciations? Yes – the covers! Excellent scans or photos. I do a little touch up work to get them nice and perfect for my digital jukebox Mac but overall excellent.
Sound quality? I’ve noticed in several of your vinyl transfers that you capture the mid to lower frequencies very well, but there’s something lacking in the upper freqs. The transfers just sound a little dull. The lack a little sparkle at the top.
I always play transfers with NO EQ through my system which is a modest grade audiophile setup.
Just a little feedback but overall, stellar site and work!
Thank you!
i have this 12in too. A great remix from Jam & Lewis. Shame it didn’t get a little more love at radio. Thanks for posting
