I don’t know the exact date, but I’m sure the album’s 1996 release was pushed back to 1997. If my - creaky - memory is right it emerged after the ‘97 re-release of Down To Earth. The liner notes for the single reissue flag the album as forthcoming. Then after the album came out Hand In Hand was...

Am I the last person to see that the Junior Vasquez remixes of No More “I Love You’s” are now on streaming? When did they appear?

Apropos of nothing, does anyone know if this - predominantly S/A/W - Hazell megamix ever received a CD release? I think it was on the Turn It Into Love 12" remix, but that was it.

Isn't the 'My body, your body, everybody wants to party' from the Oakenfold remix that's 6 mins 30 or so? From memory it's in the latter part of the track, so about 4 mins or so in. It's possible the Oakenfold dub mix has the full 'get in line' part in it, but it's been a while since I listened...

Step forward the original 12” mix of Step Back In Time

Wasn't Walk In My Shoes a single somewhere in Europe earlier in the 80s? I thought that was why a remix appeared on the Always reissue. I'm guessing it didn't perform well, which would lead it to being ignored in favour of the S/A/W tracks in the UK. Always really is one of the best S/A/W...

It was only recently that I heard/read that Bye Bye Baby is supposed to resemble a voicemail message. Blew my mind and helps explain the effect on the vocal.

From memory, the Danny Tenaglia radio edit (from the US promo CD) and the Shep Pettibone commercially-released dub of Break My Heart and the radio edit of You’re History were all absent. Of these only the Tenaglia edit is really worth mentioning. The commercially released dub of Break… was just...

Oh, the joys of streaming. It appears that the ‘remastered and expanded’ versions of I Don’t Care and Goodbye Cruel World now on DEEZER - and I’m guessing everywhere else - have incorrectly labelled tracks. On I Don’t Care track 5 isn’t the 7” mix of Hello (Turn Your Radio On) but is the Henley...

Oh, I ordered that second hand from Amazon seven years ago. Got my copy without any issues This is where that CD now links to.

Just to troll me it'll include Open Your Heart [As featured in the Peugot TV ad]

True. If it's a private reseller who's selling a load of CD singles you should be ok, but if it's Music Magpie or the like there's a greater risk of confusion. I was once sent Britney's Stronger instead of Born To Make You Happy. Not certain what went on there. (I'm assuming you want the...

Odds on? It happened to me in WH Smith in 1990, where I was briefly baffled that my copy of the I'm Your Baby Tonight CD single had 11 tracks on it. Similarly on Amazon I ordered the Take That Pray CD single that had 'space' in it for the second part. Except in that space was the other part of...

Down To Earth was released twice, from memory. The label threw money at releases and remixes for the band - which I’m all in favour of - so it seemed odd that it all just petered out. Still not sure that re-recording the vocals on the album version of Not Over Yet pleased anyone. Grace was a...

Bizarrely I didn’t realise there was an album pre Wild Young Heart, so in my mind that was the debut. Was sad there’s nothing post Contact. I played it a lot
