Alan Rankine - The Sandman [12" TWI 598 BEL 1986 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC]

Here is the original Les Disques Du Crépuscule twelve inch version of Alan Rankine's debut pop single The Sandman. It is not the greatest of pressings (the run-in grooves needed some work for this post), however you also get three worthy instrumental pieces of the flipside which hint at some planned soundtrack work. The a-side is pure cheesy catchy synth-pop and was eventually re-released as a single on Virgin Records a few years later, but it sadly failed to sell in any number and make any impact in the mainstream, where I think it deserved a place.

This is a brand new 176.4kHz rip
