Search - Paul Hardcastle :: 19 (The 30th Anniversary Mixes)

Paul Hardcastle is marking the 30th anniversary of his 1985 anti-war hit 19 with a celebratory vinyl and CD release that collects 14 versions of the career-defining single. 19: The 30th Anniversary Collection includes remastered versions of the original mixes: the full length version (from the original 12-inch), the popular Destruction Mix and The Final Story version - the latter actually being the 'requiem' element which is the second part of that remix. Also, issued for the first time commercially is Hardcastle's demo of 19 that he recorded in his mum's front room! These originals are combined with a number of contemporary, creative reworkings (mostly by Hardcastle himself), some of which date from 2010 when he revisited the track to create variations such as History Keeps Repeating Itself and Welcome to Hell. The Inner Changes Mix is actually Victims of War (Pt 1) from 2010 and the Cryogenic Freeze Mix dates from 2012 when 19 Below Zero was issued.
