Actually, on the A side the original 6:30 12″ mix is segued after its fade with a 3:10 bonus repeating some parts of the 12″ mix in a different order.
Haven’t heard this remix before Paul. Thank you very much.
You’re welcome, Jason2 🙂
Thanks for shared…
You’re welcome, Carlos 🙂
Thanks for this Paul!!
You’re welcome, Grant 🙂
Fantabulous song, Paul. I have the 12inch, of couse 🙂 Although it´s a Jellybean remix I always thought it could have and should have been better. But never mind, the song is just great. And I love the jazzy b-side “Shark Bite”, too. Whenever I listen to that song, it makes me think of Level 42. And who doesn´t love Level 42? 😉
Thank you, Song And Dance 🙂
I finally heard this mix a few years ago and did like it. I really admire and love George Benson. Thank you, Paul, for your wonderful rips. You ARE THE 1980’S and I love that!!!!
Jeff
Thank you, Jeff 🙂
How awesome! Love this song & can’t wait to hear the Jellybean mix! Thank you so much!!!
You’re welcome 🙂
Actually, my favorite song from this album was “Stand Up” which was written by Neil Larsen, who also played keyboards. In 1978 Neil Larsen released the album, “Jungle Fever” which remains one of my all-time favorite records, so I was always trying to find more music from him. Of course, loved Mr. Benson for years, so it was a nice convergence. If you have not heard “Jungle Fever” I highly recommend it.
I am not familiar with “Jungle Fever” and will have to check it out. Thanks for the suggestion. 🙂
thank you Paul
You’re welcome 🙂
