    Great post! I’ve had this on vinyl since day one and been looking to convert it after all these years. Any chance on the Jesse Johnson 12″ releases?

    Such a great R&B album, and sung by a White girl!
    Everybody Dance (no remix?!?! boo!) is one of my favourite jams from late ’85, and Affecttion is my funky love jam from early ’86!
    Thanks for these memories, Richie!

    OMG! Never thought I’d see this here!

    I actually did my own vinyl rip of this years ago, but I can’t wait to hear your rip, no doubt it is miles above my own attempt! What a treat, thank you!

    Actually, this was released on CD in Japan and quickly went out of print. I have a copy and would be happy to rip it for you if you like.

  5. Adam says:

    sO? will you be ‘re-posting’ this from cd?

    • djrichiep says:

      well, I don’t wanna be selfish and keep it to myself but, this is a vinyl blog… I’ll see what I can do, provided it’s OK with bushidoz?

    I’m sure you can bend your own rules – that was the ‘thing’ with all things ‘Purple,Peach & Black etc’ a lot of these mixes etc were only available to the masses (originally) on vinyl – i seen Jill Jones’ cd n they wanted 200 smakka’s for it – eeek – i never saw it anywhere on ‘cd’ when it came out here
