Pls DjPaulT can u re upload this vinyl? Never i heard the extended version 🙁
Awesome find. Thanks!
Thank you for this!
A fitting title for your comeback post…possibility selected for that very reason…?
Welcome back Dj PaulT! This is quite an interesting post. Interesting because first, I am unaware of this Janet single and second, when I was compiling some of my Janet compilation during her ‘Control’ years. This came up but the only available version out there is in very low quality. So this post brings such great surprise because I didn’t think that I’d ever find this anywhere else.
Of course it’s you. So duh. 🙂
Again, thank you so much for this. 🙂
How fitting is this post with your new home and environment. Are you still in OKC?
Hi Gilbert I am still in Tulsa 🙂
Woo hoo! Thanks and welcome back Paul!
You’re welcome 🙂
Ooh. Very interesting! Thank you!
You’re welcome Conner 🙂
Vinyl only indeed! Your 12 inch must be quite rare too, looking at the prices at discogs!
Thanks a lot!
You’re welcome 🙂
Welcome back!
Thank you Christian 🙂
Welcome back, Paul! I hope your move went well and everyone is feeling better!
I’ve never heard of this song but I will have to check it out. It’s interesting this was included on the Japan 1st Control because it wasn’t produced by Jam and Lewis (it was her dad, Joe Jackson).
Thanks again!

Everything went well Fred we are finally getting to settle in 🙂
I thought I was the only person to remember this song. Totally an obscure blast from the past.
It is a rare one for sure 🙂
