    Did this get enough radio play? Seriously though, there were FAR BETTER soul/funk records that came out this same year, that were completely ignored.

      Most CD's out there that have the Extended Mix seem to be sourced from a vinyl rip. I've listened to almost all discs out there containing it and I've found that this 1990 compilation from A&M has the best sounding version for those interested in obtaining it.
