15 Minutes
15 MINUTES is Nik Kershaw's fifth solo album. It was released in 1999.
Two singles were taken from this album and featured exclusive tracks.
Hereafter, you'll find a list of all songs from the 15 MINUTES period, including their different known mixes, demos or official live versions.
More notes : Some songs have an important number of alternate versions (live, remixes, demos...).
Listing on these versions all together simply brings too much information on just one page.
Some songs (those having more than FIVE different versions) require to have their own specific pages to make every a lot clearer...
Note that unofficial bootleg live versions or TV performances won't be mentioned in this list.

Club Remix
According to Paul Double's Nik Kershaw Website (sadly no longer online), a club remix of Nik Kershaw's "Somebody Loves You" was played in Radio 1's Sanctified Dance Party on X-mas Eve 1998.
For various logistical reasons the club remixes may now never see the light of day.
Is this remix an official remix?
Was it approved by Nik Kershaw?
A mystery to be solved.
