Fair play I only have the UK one's. I was surprised back in the day that Mondays didn't come out in 12 ins?
Same here. I only got them because it was the rats. I don't have any other ones. Unless it's to go with the band or any of the band's solo stuff. Geldofs are. This is the world calling. Love like a rocket. The great song of indifferents. Love or something else.A gospel song.
Most are same verse as their 7 inch counterparts but the odd one was different e.g. Banana 5.23mind etc and Mondays was live for us market I believe skin on skin was us version same was rain etc still love listening to them on vinyl I also have a BBC in concert transcript l.p. From 1982 ( v deep tour) and other odds and ends Inc 1sided mondo sampler with about 5tracks etc

Nice one. I loved tonight. Through that would have been a hit. In my opinion like so many of the rats singles very underrated.
I'm glad you managed to get a copy I am just abut to order up all night ge an 12inch with pic sleeve (I have us version on Colombia label) then I'm about up to date apart from tonight remix hope you enjoy your Dave 12inch single
I think I have this, says Special Disco Mix or something on it. Don't think it's any different to previous versions I've heard. Just saw it in the Oxfam shop years ago for 89p
Yeh cover says disco mix or something like that found 1on ebay and 1on music stack (although the musicstack one works out cheaper even with shipping ) looking forward to next year maybe lockdown will ease and corona do one (ever the optimist ) mrs mike is quite poorly at mo so we are just taking it slowly (as she's my career we are not doing much but staying safe etc) putting all b sides on to mp3at moment just done up to banana so a few to go

Best wishes to Jackie, hope she feels better soon.
Cheers Mark Yeh we just waiting results of ct scan as you know they don't rush with th hear things(fortunately not covid
Related) as I say taking it easy not a lot else we can do but got plenty of rats items to listen to etc
Just rec up all night German version with mood mambo on b side looking forward to playing this later
Mood Mambo really doesn't do it for me. I'm playing Mondo Bongo CD in the car this week. Stand out tracks are the UK singles, Go Man Go, Hurt Hurts, Straight Up. Average tracks : Please Don't Go, Whitehall 1212.
I know what you mean it is an album of two halves some brilliant some good some not so good but still don't mind playing it I've heard a lot worse off other artists I think I have most of the12inches available always keeping an eye open for anything different though
