1980s R&B Jam of the Day: The GAP Band "Party Train" This lead single from 1983's "GAP Band V" may have been a derivative of its predecessors "Burn Rubber" and "Early in the Morning," but this is my favorite of the Wilson brothers' uptempo songs. People may not remember but the one that appeared on the album and other greatest hit packages was the 12" version, not the original mix.
I also loved the video: http://www.youtube.com/wa...Xb_AKyozn4 THE TRAFFIC JAMMERS, The Org's house band: VAINANDY -- lead singer; NAJEE -- bass; THE AUDIENCE -- guitar; PHUNKDADDY -- rhythm guitar; ALEX de PARIS -- keyboards; Da PRETTYMAN -- keyboards; FUNKENSTEIN -- drums. HOLD ON TO YOUR DRAWERS! |

Then, I had the 12 Inch, which was a longer version of the 45. Then the album version is a shorter version of the 12 Inch they were playing on the radio at the time (the one that people remember). It was also the B Side to the 12 Inch of "I'm Ready (If You're Ready)". I never had the full length longest version until I bought their 12 Inch collection on CD years later. They must have released two different 12 Inches of the song that year. Andy is a four letter word. | |
