REQUEST: Minty "Useless Man"

I am looking for The Grid (featuring Dave Ball of Soft Cell) Extended and Radio Edit remixes of "Useless Man" by Minty from 1994 or 1995 in FLAC, WAV or AIFF format if possible??

Fred,

That is amazing and had no idea about this Minty - Useless Man - Maxi with Dave Ball mixes !!

Had a quick look around and some of these prices for this (from Amazon & More...) can be outrageous. From Soft Cell, Marc Almond Stuff, Dave Ball with his "In Strict Tempo" album (Great Stuff), and I believe his work with English Boy On A Love Ranch (If I'm not mistaken) can tie some good music tastes.

Hope this shows up because I'll definitely be interested !!

Good Luck !!!

Thank you for the tip - unfortunately it's available in the Australian iTunes store. I live in the USA and iTunes won't allow purchases outside of the USA store.

I can access and download from CR here, Fred. But why bother, it's just heavily compressed s*** anyways. Your not missing anything.
Really need a lossless source.

Sorry, I just saw your post! Thank you for the efforts with this one! The other versions are definitely interesting interpretations but I still prefer the Grid mixes overall. Think I may have found a few CD singles of this at fairly reasonable prices so I may just bite the bullet.....
