Notes

Speed of side B incorrectly given as 45 RPM on label - actually plays at 33 ⅓ RPM.

This release was originally shrink wrapped when new with the information sticker applied to the shrink wrap and not the die-cut sleeve.

    Did anyone else notice how they borrowed the chorus from If i cant have you by Yvonne elliman? Surprised nobody mentioned this.

      My copy is translucent blue, not marbled as described on the release

        I believe that the story goes that the track was shrink wrapped to make it look like a US import. Presumably Cleveland in this case was referring to the town in North Yorkshire rather than its US namesake :) I know I was fooled back in the day by this great bit of marketing.

          Crazy thing nostalgia eh? I despised this tune when it came out but was forced to endure it because everyone else liked it.now,25 years later I have it in my collection.

              The version of this that i have has Isha D - Stay (tonight) on the B side - has everyone else got that as well or was it a strange misprint ? the label is as above though

                Can anyone tell me why the dance version of this track has the same keyboard riff (the one you hear in the breakdown) as DJ Icey's "BBRR Go Go" (1:00)?
