This is the BEST Alexander O’ Neal single.
I’m more of a 12″ fan, but I really appreciate this 7″ series you’re doing!
On a side note, I know MCA produced a lot of exclusive 7″ versions during this period.
Are you hinting at something? Cause if you are, I’m not getting it? MCA just in general or for a particular artist?
Not really hinting actually. It’s just an observation. I don’t have many 7″s, but those I have are mainly from MCA. Jody Watley, Pebbles, Breakfast Club and like the Klymaxx 7″ that Paul posted. I appreciate the fact that these 7″ versions are different from the album versions, and not just edited either.
But of course, if you want to take it as a hint and do an MCA post, I’d raise both my arms up in favour!
