You know whats funny? lol I have this album for one lol but its been a minute since I looked at the credits and played the album.

Oddly, Ive always assumed it to be a 1990 album for some reason. I think since it was released in September of 1989 most people associate it with 90s. I have even read publications that suggest it was released in 1990.

But I stand corrected, thanks.

To be fair, the album had hits that were in 1990 and 1991. Every single from "Escapade" to "Love Will Never Do" were released in 1990 and 1991. smile

lol Its all good, thanks
