Thanks for the post. Just a note that, although Shalamar’s song was on the soundtrack album, it was not in the movie. Conversely “Nasty Girl” by Vanity 6 was in the movie, but not on the album.
I didn’t know about these remixes, although the soundtrack was nearly always in my cassette deck back then.
Louil Silas Jr. did some cool remixes during this time.
Thanks Paul 🙂
You’re welcome, Marco 🙂
Thanks Paul!!!
You’re welcome, Carlos 🙂
I have your original rip, and as good as that is this is worthy (and due) for a new transfer. From the landmark movie and soundtrack! Definitely a soundtrack to my life growing up and no doubt millions of others… The hits kept on coming!! Glenn Frey’s The Heat Is On – one for the ages. Boy were we spoiled! 1984/85 were the best two years in music history. Thank you Paul!!
You’re welcome, Retro Hound. Thank you for appreciating great music 🙂
Thanks for the post, Paul! I don’t think I’ve ever heard this song before. On a side note, any chance you could post Seduction’s You’re My One And Only? Specifically this 12″ with these mixes pretty, pretty please: https://www.discogs.com/release/359042-Seduction-Youre-My-One-And-Only-True-Love. The Underground Mix is slammin’ and easily findable on Youtube if people want to check it out. Thanks so much, Paul! Have a great day!
I will try to track down a copy after the fundraiser.
YEAH! How I adore this track and its parent albums. The soundtrack rocks, but Shalamar’s Heartbreak, albeit with a post-Jody lineup, is one of my favorite 80’s albums! So cool to have this remix now!!!! Thanks Paul!!!
Oh: side note. The expanded CD edition of Heartbreak that came bundled with The Look does not include this remix, even though it has other remixes added!
I am happy to hear that you like this one, ING. The Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack was everywhere during this period and produced some great singles.
A wonderful re-rip, Paul. I have been digging into Shalamar for a bit and I am grateful for this 12-inch version.
Jeff
You’re welcome, Jeff 🙂
