ok so i bought the single of 'missing person's bureau' & it comes w/ a 9 minute 'paradise ballroom mix'... there is also a 'motor temple edit' and a folk version

this 'folk' version is balearic gold fwiw

"baby i'm scared of you" is definitely in my top 100 songs ever.

These days I find Love Wars a scarier record than Shoot Out the Lights or Blood on the Tracks.

they sure know how to create a sense of dread within a pop song

one month passes...

I got Radio M.U.S.I.C. Man today in mind condition thanks to Record Store Day -- the weakest of the three eighties releases to my ears. The singing and synth effects still top notch but there's no "TKO," "Love Wars," "Baby I'm Scared of You," or "Teardrops."

Love Wars should be as immense as Shoot Out The Lights, Blood on the Tracks, and Wild Gift as makeup-to-breakup classic. RIP.

ah man, W&W is my dad's favourite music, i used put their stuff on my radio shows as a kid all the time

paradise ballroom mix of MPB is all time

xpost.

Love Wars is essential. And it's easily found in most record store dollar bins. You'd think this record would have been lifted up with the rest of the recent modern soul surge.

It will now.

RIP

Love Wars is classic indeed

Baby I'm Scared Of You should have been a huge hit.

jim, Monday, 4 February 2013 18:40 (eleven years ago) link

yeah, that's a good one. i used to play that on repeat when i first found it.

''Love Wars' is a fantastic record...'Express Myself' is just lovely and their cover of 'Angie' is just sublime...RIP

great songwriting, great singing, great production

"passion & pain" from the final '93 album, which i haven't seen yet in the wild. i did, however, find this 12, and it's loaded with those trademark w&w chords, rhythms, production. shit, so good.

Listened to Love Wars and Conscience today. Really impressed with their chemistry and honest songwriting.

did linda womack have the best voice? i believe so.

lol i posted that song in hopes that by butterfly effect it would end up in a dj set somewhere, didn't expect it to be so immediate <3
