The song was slightly below the Top 40 in 1988, and a big freestyle hit. I have not seen it much on CD at all.
In case anyone didn't know (and thanks to Aaron for a great discussion on this very topic when I sought it out) the 45 version is the Club Edit, which can be made from the 12 inch on Tommy Boy Greatest Beats. The B-Side, which is on the 1988 Polygram All-Stars CD is not the 45. There is no promo CD issued for it. The correct running time is 4:10 for the 45 version. Guess we learn something new every day... https://www.discogs.com/Sa-Fire-Boy-Ive-Been-Told/release/99150 - https://www.discogs.com/Sa-Fire-Boy-Ive-Been-Told/release/99 150 ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |

Hey everyone,
I just shared this with PopArchivist via email but figured I'd share with the group as well. The B-Side is the version that I remember Hot 97/Hot 103 playing in NY. Curious if anyone else from the Tri-State area can recall. One other interesting tidbit is that the 12" has a version on it called 7" version and that version is the B-Side of the 45 and not the Club-Edit. -Jeff |

I heard it as well growing up in NYC too. The A-Side was probably too clubby, a case where the B-Side sounded more polished.... ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |
