This is a perfect pop song and a 12” anthology. Thank’s for this one. Great!!!!
You’re welcome Jose, enjoy my friend.
Thanks for this rip, Richie!
I thought the remix made the song even better. Rick was already on his downhill slide by then, but the follow-up single, State Of The Heart, is one of my all-time favourites of his.
You’re welcome Ric!
