Hey Big Dave,
Firstly I would have to agree with things aforementioned here. I have not explored the raw multi's with this track as of yet and listening to this against other mixes here, I get a good clear view of all the elements within and the highlighted parts through out.
Now for something that is troubling me
I have taken the time to listen to this over the last couple of days on several different playback devices and based on the style of song that it is, I'm feeling a slight lack of intensty and punch throughout 
. I feeling that if was sitting in front of this as an open session in my DAW, I would be reaching for some extra parallel comp prehaps and some sort of extra parallel drum processing. Listening to some of your other mixes posted here, this mix seems to be a stand out for me in this regard. I have found this interesting and it has certainly challenged my thought process as to how to tackle this particular track. Please note, this is more of an observation than a criticism and I'm very much interested on your thoughts with this. Your knowledge and passion for all things sound far exceed that of myself.
I am a lover of great dynamics myself (I think we all are whether we know it or not) I strive to get that balance sonically right when I mix although as I've said before I tend to be technically ignorant as far as meters and numbers go. I must admit, I find listening to an older recording of any genre nowadays compared to lets say, the latest Foo Fighters release more enjoyable and much easier on the ears. To be honest Joe Daniels and his hot shots on a Parlophone 78 still excites me in a crazy way and despite the limitations with these early recordings I find that they are still sonically very pleasing to the ear.
Maybe it's just a tolerance thing as we get older.
Thanks for the content.
Dave
