Shame about the Giant label… it did give us some brilliant acts, albums and singles!
Tara is one of them…she came with a blast and disappeared just as fast! But it was good while it lasted!
Have the commercial 12″ so thanks for your promo rip, Chris!
Yes, I would like to thank Chris, too! Where is he?
hehehe…you must forgive me, Chris…ooops Richie…coming to your blog (and Paul’s) is the first thing I do every morning…yes…even before my cuppa…so I can truly madly deeply blame it on my post-slumber…can I yawn and stretch now to convince you?
*yawn*
*stretch*
Thank you
DJ Richie,
You just made my day, I owned this record and many more in here back in the day and having this in such perfect rip is heaven sent. Thank You SO Much!
