Thank you for the information. For some reason, I always assumed it was the extended version on the Pearl In The Shell 12-inch. But the inclusion of 8 minutes of Total Conditioning-WOW! Even if it is just one more minute on Total Conditioning compared to The 12" Album, it is more of that brilliant tune. 😃 Now I really have to pick up a copy of both Pearl In The Shell and What Is Love.

Thank you for the correction 😊

​@@tobiasgronvallgreat video all the same. I love your retrospective videos

Lit's not Mike Peters. It is Mike Peters.

Oops, slip of the finger there

Thank you. Glad you found your way to the great world of Kim Wilde's music. 😊 For me it was the other way around, I was more into pop and synth music and now days expanded my listening to rock and heavy metal and all the brilliant etceteras.

Thank you!

I really enjoyed the album before Shine, Something's Going On. Really need to listen to the album in its entirety, if only because of Kirsty's contribution.

Thank you! Great to come across someone else who has Kirsty as their favourite female artist. Great to hear about your support and contribution to the release. I saw your name in the book after you mentioned it 😊

@tobiasgronvall Have you been to Kirstyfest? It's an annual celebration of the life and music of Kirsty. On the Sunday near her birthday (10th October), fans, friends and family gather around her bench in Soho Square to pay tribute and sing her songs. Afterwards, we go to a nearby venue for more celebrations. From 2023, I have been the Kirstyfest organiser where I make speeches and book the venue. It's an event I look forward to every year. I have been every year since 2009.

I have heard about it but over the years and thought that I have to go. But unfortunately never attended. It sounds lovely. Thank you for reminding me. I will break the trend and attend next year for sure.

@@tobiasgronvall If you attend, it will be great to see you.

Thank you!

Thank you 😊

Great to hear 😊 I agree with your comment on Lovers on a Beach, great track. Kim usually had great b-sides for her singles. I have to give Catch as Catch Can another chance. Haven't listened to it for ages.

@@tobiasgronvall All 3 singles (7 inch) had tiny bit different mixes to the LP versions esp.''Rage to Love".

Another great review I liked the album loved the second time rage to love and the touch should have done a lot better here in the UK I also liked fit it

@@kimwildefans1354To me 'Suburbs of Moscow" was another great track.

Catch as catch can and Teases & Dares have that rich full synthesizer sound. And Kim herself started to contribute to the writing of the songs. So both are very beloved albums.

I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for checking out my channel.

@@tobiasgronvall nice channel looking forward to seeing more content from you.

It's on the cd

One of the best 12 inch mixes ever made (if not the best).

@@tobiasgronvall Trevor Horn was genius with that one.

Thank you so much! Also, thank you for the info on the original German pressing. BTW, I checked out your channel, what a great one. Kim Wilde extravaganza indeed! 😍 You have a new subscriber. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for the info for love is will hunt down the original

This his such a great review I would have put out who do you think you are has the second single then the brilliant million miles away has the 3rd single

Thanks for the review. I was a big fan of this album. Have been pondering the expanded set. I must get!

I agree; that is very disappointing. If you have a surround system at home, I hope it will be released on DVD/Blu-ray, and you will be able to listen to it properly.

Thank you! I am really glad you liked my story/review ❤ I will for sure check out your channel as well.

@@tobiasgronvall 👌❤️

Yes, you would think there were more filmed during these sessions, and that they would include that in this new 'remastered' version of the film. Especially the Beatles songs he did. But it may be lost in time...

Yes, I agree, the prices are bonkers. I paid £12 for my ticket, which I thought was steep, but I have seen figures ranging from £10 to £17 depending on the venue. I understand it is a limited release and all that, but still...

She’s a very unique and touching artist, I would love to hear what you think!

I'll check it out and see what I think of it. Thank you for the recommendation.

Thank you! Glad to hear that you enjoy these retrospectives 😀 You are absolutely correct. I returned to my notebook for this episode, and I have gotten the chart peak, and weeks wrong for Evelyn Thomas. Really don't know what happened there. 🙃 I will correct it in my last retrospective special (and any other mishaps). Thank you for pointing it out.👍 The Art of Noise single, Moments in Love/Beat Box, I believe came out in 1985 though (?).

Thank you 😊

Thank you! 😊 And you are of course right, among the many old sayings in Sweden, "Njördig, njördig, njördig ... Bårk! Bårk! Bårk!" is the most common one we use in situations like this.

@@tobiasgronvall - 🇸🇪 😆 🇸🇪

The one track that really stuck with me is 'Emotions' is such a good track. Once again The Egyptian Lover delivered the goods. Thank you for recommending this 😃

Thank you 😊

YES 😃

@@tobiasgronvall Siobhan Donaghy's "Ghosts" album is perfection

I agree. Not hearing many talk about that album. It is a great one.

Sure, all those "to name fews", which means that it's at least double the amount lmao. And that during trial? I get that there's several artist who has worked with him but not that many during trial

@TB-om4dd I will speculate (not stating facts) that one of the reasons Katy's collaboration with him has garnered attention at the moment is the fact that Perry was a part of the lawsuit in 2014, even if she was involuntarily involved based on further accusations from Kesha, which Katy denied. But that probably led to Katy's decision to exclude him from Witness and Smile. Wise move. One of the many parts might be the anticipation of the 'comeback album', and when the news drops that a certain producer/writer will also join her on that album, the winds start to blow. Another part of the attention she is getting atm is the 'message' in the lyrics for her new single, 'Woman’s World', where some claim that her take on feminism doesn't work. It is a perfect storm (or perhaps Katy would call it imperfect). I know that Dr Luke has denied all of the allegations directed at him, and he has not been found guilty. And I am not saying that he is guilty. But, with that kind of reputation accusations directed towards him, it is surprising that Katy chose to collaborate with him. Even if Katy was OK with this, someone on her team must have raised this topic at some point and advised her that this might not be the best move, that it may take away the focus on her new music, her comeback album and also bad in a business/brand sense. I like the new single. I am not dissecting the lyrics, or slander them for being shallow or hollow. It is a pop song (in that case we should criticise/cancel 98% of all music lyrics in pop music for the last 100 years). But a song that is both written and produced by Luke, a song whose lyrics highlight and celebrate women is yet another layer of this controversy and leaves a bitter aftertaste. Guilty or not, the reputation lingers and it can easily ruin careers, and that is why her decision is so frustrating to me as a fan.

@@gangstaboy9387 mariah, sza, the weekend, dona cat, j cole and more more was during trial

Sure, but I'd argue that their collaboration is a bit more awkward in this particular case since he was hired for a song about female empowerment. For those who do believe the allegations against him, his credit undermines the entire message of the song.

Thank you for your comment. Yes, that MDNA album sure is a gem among her many albums 🤩

Thank you for the recommendation for Clairo. I haven't listen to her before. I had a listen to the single, 'Sexy To Someone', and I really liked it. Interesting production, sounds like a traditional setup when in comes to instrumentation, but there is something in the production that breaks that mould. Could be the distortion on various instruments that gives it a bit of a gritty feel. The track I really got stuck with, on further listening, is 'Sofia' from the album 'Immunity'. Very good pop track with, yet again, a very interesting production. Great stuff! I will do some listening to Tove Lo's albums as well.

Thank you! 🤗

Thank you for subscribing to my channel. Glad you enjoyed my video. Most of the records they have are used ones.

That is super you got hold of the Sugar Cubes albums. And thank you for the great feedback on my video.

Thank you 😀
