- Full-length version is the truth. You can hear the edits in the version on the album, clearly edited from the 5:00 version.
- I am growing more and more fascinated by the career of Faltenmeyer as a hired producer, and I am very intrigued here by his choices on the Laura Branigan cover (is there anything from Laura Branigan that is not a cover?). It does not deviate too much from the italo of the RAF one, it adds a bit more punch on the guitars... but I must say that the credit in this belongs to Branigan mostly. She is the one singing as if she cannot sleep of how horny she is, she sounds sexy, dangerous and feral, she does not only sing the song but acts the song as well.

I have a copy for sale in VG++ condition. Please message me if interested. Thanks.
The rights society on this record is given as STEMRA therefore this is the Dutch release, the German release has GEMA/BIEM on the labels.
My version has a "MAXI 45t" sticker on it! :)

Anyone a copy for sale? Please Contact me thanks. Grtz- Is Silent Partners (Extended Version) really just 4 seconds longer than the Album version? Any other differences?
🎵I....I live among the creatures of the night.🎵
The year 1984, for me, was my favorite year in music. Simply because almost all my favorite songs were released that year. And Self Control sung by Laura Branigan is, no doubt about it, one of my favorite all time 80's songs. I heard it so many times and I was enchanted by it's creepy video, where we see Laura being stalked by a masked man, who eventually ends up shirtless in her bedroom.
When the video was released in 1984, the music industry was beginning to adopt the music video as a promotional tool and Self Control was rather groundbreaking in its scope. It was also the first video to be directed by Oscar-winning director William Friedkin, the director of The Exorcist.
Self Control rocked disco clubs around the world and people kept singing...
🎵You take my self, you take my self control
You got me livin’ only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story’s told
You take my self, you take my self control🎵
This song was first released in 1983 by the Italian composer and singer Raf (Raffaele Riefoli), who wrote it with Giancarlo Bigazzi and Steve Piccolo. His version was a low-tempo ballad with disco-techno-pop features, and was an early use of synthesizers.
So many years later I got the chance to buy this single to add to my collection. Laura passed away in 2004. We miss her so much. She will be remembered forever through this song. ❤️🌟💯
