Almost passed out when I heard 'go back home' - would have been a shocking last drop. Outstanding mix as usual sir. Really enjoying this!!!

more please

thank you, gents. glad you're enjoying it.

and sarcastro, i do agree with you...that harmonizers track is a bit jarring, it's so hopelessly beautiful. not many songs from that era got that kind of extended piano treatment toward the fade out. must have been gladdy at the keys (?)
