Rick James, “You And I” 12” extended M+M Mix and “Fire And Desire” [[Live In Long Beach) Rick James with Teena Marie [[12” single; Both sides previously unreleased)
From the Motown vaults, two tracks released for the first time: an extended, nearly 10-minute version of Rick James’s first hit from 1978, mixed by John Morales of “M+M Mix” fame. The flip side is the long lost but now found live duet with Teena Marie, “Fire and Desire.” Their epic, 20-minute rendition was recorded live In Long Beach, CA, July 1981, and is also mixed by John Morales.

Very cool...would love to hear the You and I mix...a bit of a production to track it down though, and $20 for a single is pretty steep! Hopefully will pop up on iTunes eventually.

yea, I was wondering what format this would be released. Is it a physical release or just a digital download?

It's part of Record Store Day; I checked and it's an Record Store Day First release which means that for the next month or so it will only be available in physical format at participating record stores...afterwards the options on how to buy it will expand, whether that includes iTunes or not is TBD [[although they would be ridiculous not to).
