Levine did a few nice things on her but she was struggling vocally due to illness by that time. He remixed one track, "Walk The City Streets" shortly before she passed which I really liked. It was only on CD.

Had a look through my Levine catalogue and found a Mary Wells 12" called "DON`T BURN YOUR BRIDGES". Recorded for NIGHTMARE in 1987. Also came across a couple of MARY WILSON singles.. "DON`T GET MAD, GET EVEN" (NIGHTMARE RECORDS 1987) & "OOHH CHILD" (MOTORCITY RECORDS 12").
I don`t recall hearing the re-working of "MY GUY"...

Don't get mad get even he'll be sorry you can bet!1 that is a god one.
i remember in 1997 i made a freind and she was not to familiar with hi nrg and all the genres etc, and i played her that mary wells track and in the middle where she does her little soliloquy about go on and just live again, my friend pissed herself laughing!.
and i mean she really really laughed very hard and to this day i am not to sure exactly why?. she just must have thought it to be camp or something..
but now 10 years later i still wonder why?...

I remember buying that Mary Wilson 12" single way back in the summer of 1987 ! I found it in the Virgin store we had on Market Street in Manchester. In those days they tended to have a seperate section for the HI-NRG records. I bought that along with "backtrack" by Shezwae Powell and "Take it or Leave it" by grace Kennedy.
The Mary Wilson track is good and sounds like a more modern sounding Northern soul type record.
