As you mention it, I seem to remember something about that. Unfortunately I didn't fall for the marketing gimmick.

I love it when you guys bring up these treasured details...

I bought the 7" single picture sleeve... Smelled like strawberries for a couple of years. I also bought the 12" single (red vinyl). However I don't recall it smelling like strawberries :o

I can't believe only 2 people like "I'll be good to you" :(

Well, if you can call that scent strawberries. But, yes, the sleeve was soaked with that cheap scent! I know you're not suppose to but I left the shrink wrap on for decades thinking some of the scent would linger and perhaps increasing the value. The scent was so toxic smelling, it probably would have done the opposite! However, today the scent is no more. :roll:

I liked "I'll Be Good To You" also, but I'm more partial to Quincy's remake with Chaka Khan on vocals!

I forgot about "I'll Be Good To You" until I saw it posted. Otherwise it would have been included in my favorites from BJ.
