I had to have a listen (again) as I always forget which is my favourite Chains of Love mix.

It's Foghorn Mix by Phil Legg. I remember hearing this for the first time thinking "wow, this is better than the original" and played it all the time in the late 80s.

Totally dislike Truly in Love With by Mark Moore though.

A good extended version showcases those elements that mixing into an album or radio mix blends down or buries. The Foghorn mix is one of those. We know Legg is a talent, but that talent here is pulling back the shades and letting us fully bask in the Vince without the tan lines.

His Always extended version gives us even more. Up the SPF.

The somewhat recent remix Vince himself did is also pretty great! I think that was largely the basis for The Violent Flame Tour version.
