ABC - Be Near Me (Munich Disco Mix)

[@777kvp]

This is one of the best remixes of a pop song out there. This was SO much fun to dance to when it came out. It took the song to a new energy level

[@sjdrifter72]

This is my favorite version of the song. KROQ used to play this mix a lot in the mid to late 80's. Brings back memories of being a teen living in L.A.

Amazing! I Remember This!!

Always takes me back. Still rocks the house. ❤

[@tomneila8496]

KROQ Pasadena, CA 1985

[@brunoprovangenoia5659]

This is the best version

[@dolphinbuc]

After all these years this is still in my top 5 of all-time remixes.

[@salvadorquiauhtlazollin6625]

Which are the other 4?

[@robertsanchez7961]

ABC my favorite band of the 80’s

[@n5wsu]

Man This was my time back in the 80s! I date a girls her name was Linda and she look like the on in the video. Those were happy times. Music was fun, not what you hear today. Live long ABC!

[@Hereismytwocents2011]

Reminds me of my high school dance team days in the 80's.

[@Tre404]

For some reason, this is one of my favourite single sleeves of the all time (regarding your image above). Such great graphic design. It really fits the spirit of the music within.

[@Tre404]

I have ALWAYS said the same thing about this cover. It is among the best of all time!

[@tvbabay]

Nothing epitomizes the 80s like this song being piped in on the chairlifts at Mt. Holly ski area, Michigan!

[@MOMOFSAKI]

This was the best show to dance too.. Memories and fun times! Esctasy!

[@BekBob]

I have this 12" and never knew until this weekend that the opening "That's right" was sampled from "Silver Convention - Get Up and Boogie" I heard it this weekend and recognized it right away.

[@bingojones4820]

🟥hearing this like pumping Crisco in there asses🟥

[@PLefevre95]

Awesome, I finally found this remix. Thanks for posting!!!!

[@kenpalmer1965]

Hey, I remember this version of the song. I almost forgot about it! Great,fun stuff!

[@rainbowrotcod]

this is awesome.

[@christophermiller7532]

THAT'S RIGHT!!!

[@TheGatomalevo]

Impresionante tema !!! me encanta!!! i love it!!!

[@dc12pk]

Thank you for this!! Awesome!

[@maeshields5680]

What is that sound effect around 3:50-3:53? Blows my mind!

[@craigbeasley1]

Almost the bard in words! ABC shall find a niche for excellence in recorded history. I'll ellaborate, I understand how you love this tiny entity! By the year 1984, Millionaire,Billionaire and even the Japanese Trillionaire found a home in the hearts of a global community. Listen carefully and closely to the lyrics. Enunciations only come around every once in a while. It's only a blue moon that words carry such weight! "I've seen the future, I can't afford it".

[@kenpalmer1965]

@limpar69 You've got an excellent point here. That was a singing and dancing generation back then! We would literally dance almost all night until dawn came! How fun it was!

[@11dsw]

The "That's Right" is sampled from Silver Convention song "Get Up and Boogie", 1976.

[@Tre404]

Truth!

[@turntablethomas2584]

And later used by Kon Kan in their song “I Beg Your Pardon”

[@11dsw]

@@turntablethomas2584 … That song was filled with samples.

[@156nico]

Fantastico questo RMX,grazie 8FM!!!!

[@09Sady]

Un gran 12" .

[@alvarohernandez4251]

Perfect

[@Phundaze]

I cannot say this with most bands at all - But ABC can do a ballad and a dance version of the same same song, like this one, and get away with it. Great Job on the Regeneration 2008/2009 tour ABC!

[@Tre404]

"Be Near Me" was never a ballad. Just saying.

[@11dsw]

I think this group was going through a 197os vibe when they produced this version. It’s like the 7os on steroids. 😀

[@DLBlckwl]

This is one of my FAVORITE 12"'s I bought in '85 . Special memory! I also love listening to the Instrumental on that same 12" called What's Your Destination? I can't find it ANYWHERE online. Could you possibly post that too? Thanks a Billion.

[@echorich]

Up there with Blue Monday by New Order and Wood Beez as the best new wave pop remixes of the 80's!!!

[@11dsw]

echorich this is disco

[@Tre404]

@@11dsw ... lol.. NO, it is not... just because the remix title says so.

[@Tre404]

Scritti Politti is my all-time favorite pop group!

[@11dsw]

@@Tre404 ..every one of the “sounds”, ( wah-wah, strings, etc..) are extremely exaggerated versions of 7os sounds…come on now…New Wave is The Knack, Cars (7os), Talking Heads, Elvis Costello.

[@Hot80s]

whenever they hit those 3 beats of the drum i hold out my hands & snap my fingers 3 times.

[@Tre404]

@echorich ...Scritti still rules!! :-)

[@Garylpool1]

Actually in one of the very first publicity shoots of the new line up of ABC (from which this cartoon image is a drawing of) Eden was wearing a black wig, also on the back of this sleeve are individual pictures of the band members - again Eden is in a black wig.

[@raffdan5319]

a good sinth-album

[@1976Fiat]

this was played in the U.S., it preceded the album release

[@chevgr]

Tune

[@11dsw]

Very 70's

[@MontrealMan1970]

Ja, Dieter likey alot.

[@craigbeasley1]

All my hopes and fears...came true

[@11dsw]

The band is definitely channeling the 1970s in this version… No doubt. Smart move, the 1980s can't compete with the 1970s for dancing/dance music… No way.

[@Tre404]

Hey, it's not supposed to fade like that! There's actually another 20 or 30 seconds of the remix, then it ends cold.
