I have two of these U.K. 12”s, one has only a blank white label on each side

My copy has side 2 labels on both sides, despite the correct songs on both sides.

Going to be honest, I don't particularly care for the Preacher's mix. It's ok. But also kind of annoying. Side 2 has a more regular version of Head Over Heels.

Not bad...but pretty pretentiously far up its own behind. I enjoy it somewhat, but it really seems like the TFF samples are shoehorned in.

Not a great pressing. The sound is dynamic enough but it is noticeably noisy (mostly in the vocals).

I love the original and this. Just stumbled across the 4 mix on iTunes and purchased immediately. I had the original 7" in 1985. I'd recommend the 4 mix iTunes edition over a 2 mix vinyl though tbh

Unlike the generic Talamanca System Remixes 12", which are pretty boring, this one is pretty good. There's nothing to do with the band or the original song, though. This is basically a spacy Ambient tune in two different arrangements, that contains samples of the chorus vox and the mail melody (reconstructed).

If you're a TFT or 80s fan - I wouldn't recommend this, but for Ambient lovers, this is a very fine release.

I don't know where Virgin / EMI bring their remixers from, or why they choose certain ones over others, but this release has nothing special on it. It has nothing to do with TFT, or the original song. This basically just another generic Ambient-Dub tune, with samples of R. Orzabel vox, that may suite to a chill-out bar background music, or an event opening filler. Overall, it's not a bad release, but neither a good one. Mark Barrott did a better job on the other 12" remixes of this title. I think that a file on your hard-disk is enough.
