Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the song, "Come up and see
me (make me smile). I have an old concert where they sing it, but
would love a copy of it. Years ago and friend of mine bought the 12"
single. I'm such an idiot, I should have bought it myself. But, what
we would do is, I would buy one 12" and she would buy another so we
wouldn't have the same albums. We than would tape it for eachother. To
this day I regret not getting it. Duran's website has a store, but
it's "coming soon". So I can't get it there. Any suggestions?

It should be quite easy to find in second hand record shops. You will
find the song on

"The Reflex" UK 7" single, as well as some 7" singles from other countries
"The Reflex" UK 12" single, as well as some 12" singles from other countries.
"Perfect Day" 2nd UK CD single
"Perfect Day" Dutch CD single
"Perfect Day" Australian CD single
"Girls on Film 'The Collection" UK compilation CD

If you visit some online shops you are bound to find some of this.

Sateesh,
How does that work? You e-mail it to me and then I then copy it onto
a C.D? My brother is a wiz at this stuff, but I'm still learning the
basics. But, anyhow, thank you soooo much. That's really nice of you
to offer. If there's anything I have to do just let me know. Thanks
again.

Hi, Karen.

You just download "Realplayer" or "Realplayer Jukebox" - which is better, or
preferably both from www.realplayer.com - file on it's way for the song. If
you try and open it and haven't got realplayer installed it might
autmoatically direct you to their site :-) .

Sateesh.

Karen,
You poor thing. I have a record player that I think I originally had
WAY back when I first bought the albums. I only have a CD player in my
car. I whipped out my albums this weekend and had a huge 80's fest. I
was playing WHAM!'s 'Edge of Heaven'. Remember that one? I actually
bought it at Pathmark of all places when they used to have a record
section. For anyone who doesn't know Pathmark is a supermarket here.
And I also played 'Arcadia' since the talk of 'Lace Ice' recently.
What great stuff. I miss all that music.

Make Me Smile was also on the "With Honors" movie soundtrack a few years
back. I got mine through BMG music service. It's nice to have on CD!!

Simon,
When I pull up the website where do I click on to enter? It wasn't
leading me anywhere. Thanks.

P.S. Simon-what a great name :)

You are right. "Make Me Smile" is on the Threesome soundtrack.

Karen,
Oh, my goodness! Why would you sell it if you had all those albums?
How were you gonna play them? It's funny though, my sister got rid of
her record player too for a CD player and now she can't play her Rex
Smith album :O (Come on, you HAD to like Rex Smith back then) But, I
guess what you do is buy all the albums on CD's. But, there's just
something about playing the albums that brings back so many memories.
I bet if you did play Arena now, you would know exactly where that
skip is, almost like it's part of the song.

i know, what was i thinking? i think i was looking for a new stereo that
sounded better than mine, but the only ones i had found that still had record
players were the same quality. I bet if i go to a pawn shop there has to be
one somewhere. worse comes to worse, my father inlaw has one, i could just
tape them.>

(Come on, you HAD to like Rex Smith back then)

No, but i do have shaun cassidy and capt and tinelle!

it's been awhile since i've listened to it, but i'm sure if i did, i'd know
where it is! you're right it does become part of the song. lol
todays kids dont know what they're missing with cd's they dont skip! they
dont have the fun of tapeing pennies on the arm of the record players! lol

Oh, my goodness! Oh, my goodness! I remember taping pennies to the
arm also! And cleaning the needle with your finger and hearing through
the speakers...scratch,scratch,scratch. Also, the annoying and dreaded
repeated skip one hundred times before you were able to push the
needle along. Yep, the kids are missing out I tell ya. Besides albums
always came with the lyrics, tapes sometimes didn't. AND the pictures
on the album were huge, it was like life size John Taylor. Ya, can't
beat that :)

I just wanted to thank everyone for their e-mails and suggestions. I
hve lots of choices now. Sateesh e-mailed me a copy of the song. I
haven't downloaded it yet. I'm afraid someone will delete it from my
computer. I'm savoring it :)

Thanks again,
-Karen
