:cool::)
OK lets continue :p:
IT'S SO WONDERFUL [aka for some reason , LOVE MASTERPIECE] was submitted to the TGIF ST with a 4:01 length . Stingy for disco play , DJs prefer about 5 minutes minimum.
Just recently realized by me , there was a French 45 pressing of the song as an extended version of 6:01. Two full minutes missing from TGIF. Very curious !!
Most of the song is the same ... changes two/thirds in where
this longer version contains the songs best part, where Thelma is allowed to vamp and do her classic note holding when she sings woonderfuuuuuuul.
The song becomes even less disco , all that drumming and the back up singers squawking , sounding perhaps too theatrical, crazy piano work, but a whole lot more fun, including a sudden ending with the piano wind up.
Very nice and a shame those that bought TGIF weren't treated to it.
