  8. My own using my own 12″ mix – the name of I can’t remember – and my friends mix. We swapped each Friday afternoon and returned them on Monday morning.

  38. I’m a classic, I love the original version. Came in touch with it on my 19th birthday, by chance, so it got stuck in my head forever ;)

  43. Yes, the Destruction Mix for me too. I remember playing 19 on university radio as the first single for ages to enter the chart so high.

  51. Although The Destruction Mix is being named too often, this one remains unbeaten, followed by the German Mix under certain circumstances.

  63. It all started with the original version, which I liked in the 80s’ and still I still like nowadays,

    But now I’m a little bit older I like the chill out versions on this album very much…

  77. In actual fact my favourite version is the 7” edition. This my first single every purchased and still have.

    A special mention should be made about the spoof version The Commentators – 19 Not Out by a British comedian / impressionist Rory Bremner

    It was a parody of Bremner impersonating cricket commentators, including Richie Benaud and Brian Johnston, and replacing references to the Vietnam War with references to the England cricket team’s disastrous 1984 home series against the West Indies in which the England captain David Gower had averaged 19.[5] via wikapida

    If I recall it even made a now compilation album as well.

    A special track for sure !!!!

  91. Destruction mix.
    Still have a 19 minute mix made using a home tape recorder in 1985 and the 12″ – record, pause, listen, rewind, pause, repeat – a choppy but valiant 14 year old’s effort to become the next Shep Pettibone.

  97. I love the song but to be honest, I don’t n-n-n-n-know many versions of it, so I can’t really pick a ‘favourite’.

    I first heard it on n-n-n-n-Now (that’s what…) n-n-n-n-1985 and the only copies I have are on other ‘Hits of the 80s’-type compilations, so they’re probably all the same single version (with possibly an album or extended thrown in somewhere).

    So…..after a (very) brief YouTube excursion, I’m going to +1 the Destruction mix. I know a lot of people have already picked that one, but I did enjoy it.

    (I live in Oz so if I’m lucky enough to be picked, CD format please)

  106. I’m a ‘Final Story’ man myself…

    Quite curious to hear the new mixes though. I think “19” comes in a close second to Art of Noise “Beatbox” as songs I have accumulated the most versions of from over the years…

  123. I remember I had a mix tape of three amazing 19 remixes back in 1985. I cannot remember what they were but played that tape to death until my Technics tape deck ate my tape! Even the normal bog standard 7” single was amazing!

  127. Even more than the original 12″ mix I like the german version. It features Werner Veigel which was a famous TV news speaker back in the days.

  131. Original single version. That’s the one I listened to back in the day. The attempts to reimagine it are interesting, but not the same.

  134. Hate to follow the crowd but the destruction mix was part of the soundtrack to a particularly great summer of music, and made the grim reality of a summer job on a chicken farm shoveling chicken guano more endurable!

  140. I would have to say I like the Extended Original and Destruction Mix but then again, I like hearing mixes of tracks in all forms so even the ones featured on the latest 30th Anniversary release will be appreciated.

  144. Hmmm…. I don’t want to sign up for a free newsletter.

    There are only four prizes, so the chances of winning are remote.

    The likelihood is that I would just be left with the newsletter I didn’t want in the first place.

  147. I have about 40 mixes too hard to say which is best have the ’84 demo ’85 versions ’95 versions 2000 and this 2000 and that. Spent £20 on the last lot of remixes which were pretty good and i hate MP3’s. No other choice!

  153. My favourite was the very Absolute Radio Remixer re-recording. This was an iPhone app where you could make your own mixes by layering up lots of loops. Paul re-recorded some of the parts specially for the app, and I spent ages fiddling about with the rudimentary filter/dub effects in the app. Sadly it’s disappeared from the app store now, but there’s an advert for it where you can hear part of 19 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMORFBAZPrM
