Yeah it's called "The Big E" and was a proper ACR single before Barney got his hands on it.

Also on the 'Good Together' album, though this is I believe unavailable now... I only have it on vinyl and no way of copnverting it to MP3 at the moment... Sorry... :shrug:

"The other guy"?! :skeptic:

This other guy?!

Ach, he probably did nothing! :evil4:

Probably did as much as any of his other remixes....burn the track to CD and scrape the disc.

did barney do that mix by himself or with fatboy slim?

Julian Mendelsohn (who coincidentally produced a fair amount of early Pet Shop Boys) produced The Big E track I sent you. Barney's Won't Stop Loving You remix was done by entirely by himself with some additional backing vocals by Denise Johnson.

Fatboy Slim also did a mix of WSLY which didn't make the CD single. I haven't heard it myself but it's on the 12" which I'll get around to buying at some point.

Hope that helps!

That Good Together ACR album is like rocking horse shit on CD. Cost me nearly 30 quid on eBay. But its got the excellent Backs To The Wall on it!

I don't understand the rocking horse analogy?

I presume you just mean it's shit. End of?

Which it is.

BTTW'90 on acr:mcr is even better. In fact, shame they didn't just go straight with that, or perhaps '4 from the floor'.

I meant it was rare Al,and how thick am i-ive got ACR:MCR (another rare cd) and didnt even realise BTTW was backs to the wall?.

Seem to know i`ve got a 4 track yellow sleeved CD single somewhere which is half of the MCR album-a promo?

I'll probably get burned at the stake for saying this, but I prefer Norm's version - it has liberal sprinklings of Shack Up all over it. Barney's is a bit too housey housey plinky plonk piano for my liking. The original mix will always find itself in my top 5, regardless of mood - it's a fine track.

I like Barney's better. LOL Not just out of bias. And Norman Cook is great, but his mix, I dunno... doesn't do it for me.

An okay, if sissy, track that suddenly becomes unlistenable when the "smooth jazz" sax comes in midway. :barf:

I'm collecting the firewood as we speak! :nod:

Not for your comments about Fat Boy, but for the fact you like the original.

Do you secretly harbour Deacon Blue albums too. :shades:

If I tell you that my all time fave ACR track is And Then She Smiles, presumably you turn up at my door with a hoard of revolting peasants to chase me out of town... :)
