Mr Palmer is one cool dude in my books, so effortless in crossing genres….New Wave, Rock, Soul, Jazz, Funk, Blues…and his ability to make other people’s songs his own!
ET did more remixes, and shame they didn’t put them all in one 12″!
Thanks for this edition though, Richie!
A really hard to find 12” and a pretty good song: thank you for this friday gift!
One gone too soon. Saw him a few years before he passed when Power Station reformed. He had a cold and should have been in bed but he stayed, he sang and gave a great performance. Thank you for this one.
I never got to see RP live, that’s a shame. Enjoy the record…
Thanks for this. I can now replace my old vinyl copy.
