I knew her singles before but it's nice to have a whole album produced by Pretty Tony Butler.

It is from 1986 and every track has some bangin drum machines.

Tracklisting:
A1 I'll Be All You Ever Need
A2 I Know You Love Me
A3 How Can We Be Wrong
A4 All My Love
A5 Don't Stop My Love
B1 Catch 22
B2 All Night
B3 They're Playing Our Song
B4 Stay In Love With Me
B5 Can't Get Enough

I might look for that one on my vinyl dig later today (or tomorrow...this weekend for sure!). I know that the one store record store I've been going to has a cool collection that probably has several of those songs. Maybe I'm just better off with this album since it includes the great hit "I'll Be All You Ever Need".

i use to date a girl back in the day who love'd them. me being a headbanger back was like, WTF? i should go back and take a listen.

Well the versions on the album are faded sooner. Just a warning in case you are used to the long versions (I was).

It's 80s dance music. Great if you like that kinda stuff.

i'm listening to it now, actually.

yeah, this is definitely not office music, it's more like midnight or getting ready to go to the club music.

this does totally capture the spirit of the 80's sound, drum machine, keyboard voices, song arrangement, trite lyrics. it's actually bringing back some good memories.

Classic stuff.

Living in South Florida, we had our fill of her back in the day.

You would love it.

That's another thread you started on a great album. We're gonna make an ass shaker out of you yet.

Get the 12 Inch of "I'll Be All You Ever Need". It has two versions. One of the versions breaks down really funky and keeps it that way until the end of the song.

Sayin', that's the version I'm used to. I had the 12" for "I'll Be All You Ever Need" and "They're Playing Our Song", and the other couple hits on CD somewhere.




Just never had the whole album until yesterday.

Cinnie said:

Not sure about song length. I've probably heard shorter versions since that is what for the most part Sirius tends to play. It all depends on price. It's not high priority but something that I might check out.

In 1989

Trinere and Pretty Tony had a son, Brandon C. Butler.

I wish that album was available on CD.

I imagine that somewhere all of those songs have been compiled, although there seems to be a tendency to remix or re-record them.
