BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985
“I Can’t Wait” is a 1986 song by American singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks. It was the second single released off of her third studio album Rock a Little. The song peaked inside the US top 20 at #16 for two weeks and is one of only four of Nicks’ singles to enter the US Dance charts peaking inside the top 30. It also charted in the UK, reaching #54 in the early months of 1986, her first single to chart there since 1981’s “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around”. The song also featured on the charts at the same time as another song of the same title by Nu Shooz, something of a rare incidence.
This UK 12″ contains an extended version of the album track “Rock A Little” although it is not listed as such on the sleeve or record label. This version only appears on European issues of the 12″ single.
