Wow love it!! Impressive for the fourth single from the album to do so well on the charts. This album, Emergency, was so big and influential back in the day, they could release charting singles over the course of a year or so… Thank you for this rare France 7″ single!! The b-side is also unique to this release, as it’s an edit of the album track. And love the artwork!!
Thank you for the info on the b-side I had no idea it was an edit. K&G was massive during this period. 🙂
Well, you had my favorite a few days ago with Chicago, now my third favorite band K&TG. Thanks Paul!
You’re welcome, Erik 🙂
cool track!
Thank you, Raymond 🙂
Thanks for this!
You’re welcome, Grant 🙂
I’m thrilled to hear this Mark Berry remix!! So excellent of you Paul to pull out these special seven-inch edits!! I’m quite excited to hear this!!
Jeff
I hope you like it 🙂
Awesome! The tour for this was my 2nd concert ever. (The first being the Jacksons Victory Tour.). It was awesome and I love this track! Can’t wait to hear the remix -after all this time as I assume this was the version on the radio, whereas I had the regular album. Thanks again!
You’re welcome. Great Tours I am sure. 🙂
Is this version the same as on the deluxe CD reissue and the boxset?
Yes, this is the same as the “Single Version” on that boxset. I do love the other mixes of Emergency!!
Yes it’s a great album and the remixes are fantastic. I was hoping this was a different remix.
… many thanks for this dance classic!
You’re welcome 🙂
