Sheena Easton – So Far So Good (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

A. Sleeve

Side 1

“So Far So Good” is a 1986 single produced by Narada Michael Walden and recorded by Sheena Easton for the soundtrack of the film “About last Night…”. In the United States the single barely missed the Billboard top 40 peaking at #43.

The b-sdie for the 12″ is the Nile Rodgers penned “Magic Of Love” a special edited version taken from the album “Do You”.

Special note about this single: In the US two seperate 12″ singles were released one featuring remixes by Chris Lord-Alge. The other released as “Red Mix” featured mixes by Rusty Garner. I have incorporated both singles for this post.
