Some good tunes there, Street Hassle is excellent.

Hi David - It's so cool to see some of your 12" singles, many of which I have never seen before. Marquee Moon! That must be great. There was a vinyl release of Pornography that had a bonus 7" of Charlotte Sometimes, but I can't remember where it was released. I had no idea that there was a 12" for Street Hassle. Cool cover of Israel 🙊🙃 Lovely records.

Hi David! Coming in hot with one of my favorites with that Mighty Wah! single. I had a thing for Josie Jones back in the day! Great stuff! I have that same She Sells Sanctuary 12"! I can remember the day I bought it. That Simple Minds single is one I don't have, but wish I did! Chic! I have that ABC 12" but my cover is slightly different (Canadian pressing). Israel is one of my favorite Siouxsie tracks! Excellent! Have a good weekend. Hope you get some sunshine for a bike ride. ✌

Cheers Mike! Done my 30 miles today. 🚴🏻‍♂️ I thought you'd like that Cult one!

Hello David those 12” you showed were amazing I’ve never seen that Cure promo before awesome copy you have . I love that Simple Minds song never knew it was released as a 12” I have to hunt that down that’s my favorite song by them. Chic is another killer . I dig the 12” I have a few the long versions of songs especially during the 80’s releases were outstanding have a great weekend David .

Thanks! That Simple Minds single I think is available on a CD box set. I'll need to check, but it's definitely one to seek out.

Lovely stuff..I think I have over half of those. The extended 12” is a real art form..if you get it right it’s amazing, my favourite 12” versions. ‘First Picture Of You’ The Lotus Eaters. ‘Small-town Boy’ Bronski Beat . ‘Walk Out To Winter’ Aztec Camera. ‘Two Tribes’ (Annhilation Mix) FGTH. Soft Cells extended mix’s were always great.

Hi HP. I looked all over for the 'Two Tribes' 12", and have this horrible feeling that I might have let it go, or left it behind at a party. A grim thought. I don't have The Lotus Eaters one, but the others are all great.

I love Born in the USA, Johnny Hates Jazz Turn back the Clock and Dee C Lee See the Day on 12” singles. That Cure record is on eBay for £400 at the moment.

[@davidatkinson-lifematters4826]

£400? WTF! Mine is now OFFICIALLY up for sale. 😎
