Reply With QuoteI bet its just the LP version, given a snazzy name. There was a lot of that, especially on labels like Fantasy, where they'd call it a 'special disco version', and it was just the LP mix.

The US Disco Mix of Street Life is different from the LP and although I don’t remember the 6:02 MCA 12" version this remix apparently is different as it clocks at 7:43 long.

the LP's sax /accapella intro was removed ,they added more punch to the drums and a bit of reverb to Randy's vocals, also there is a great conga breakdown with the bass and rhythm guitars solos layering over it followed by the sax solo, this version was definitely created for the dance floors and is very different from the more jazzy LP version, well worth seeking out. :D

Some of us have never heard anything but the extended US remix version.

This is weird...A US remix that by all accounts wasn't much heard in....the U.S.A. :o
It must be on quite a few comp CDs.
Classic Jazz-Funk Mastercuts Vol. 4 (CUTSCD 16) for example which may still be available.
