So I was just catching up on some DJ History and reading about Arthur Baker's remix of Fleetwood Mac's Big Love (released the same year as TBTHOG).
It's considered by house heads to be one of the most influential remixes of the 80s. A mainstream pop-rock record gets a housey-piano makeover on a major label - in 1987.

Anyway...I got to 0.12 on the track, and went "wait a minute!", then again at 2.25, 2.56, and 3.46. And again in the closing stages.
Just in case anyone misses it, listen to the percussion at those points and slow it down a bit in your head. It seems Arthur effectively sampled his own remix when he worked his magic on Touched...
I would also suggest that Baker took inspiration from Mick Fleetwood's drum fill from the original version at around 0.06 when adding the percussion to Big Love (the drum fill is also at 0.10 in the remix below). *EDIT* Actually the drum fill is echoed by a KEYBOARD fill in Touched, at for instance, the 0.56 mark HERE and throughout Touched. That little keyboard fill isn't on the original Salvation version.



p.s Does the synth bass from around 0.50 onwards sound like it influenced something else by NO, or am I reaching? It's late here.

Danny Kirwan was in Fleetwood Mac, he wrote wonderful songs in which he sings beautifully, and plays guitar perfectly. He grew up
near Brock Park , in Brixton.He and Bernard are my favorite heroes of music.
