WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
LOOSE ENDS: ‘Mastermind Turntable Mix’ (Virgin VS 697-12)
As predicted the moody ‘Choose Me‘ wasn’t strong enough an actual song to cross over and is now being marketed to success with a twin-packed bonus 12in containing this exciting 122½bpm Mastermind Mix of ‘Emergency (Dial 999)’ and ‘Tell Me What You Want’, flipped by an 111bpm remix of 1982’s less assured ‘In The Sky‘.
Mastermind want it known they weren’t responsible for the edits on their Loose Ends ‘Mastermind Turntable Mix‘ — maybe it’s time they practised cutting with a razor blade, too?
SIDE D MIX: MASTERMIND TURNTABLE MIX

TRACKS I CAN IDENTIFY IN THE MIX - I have only listed the ones that have prolonged elements or have a short sample repeated multiple times:
Loose Ends - Emergency (Dial 999) (1984); Loose Ends - Tell Me What You Want (1984)
