Sharon Redd "Can You Handle It"

How many different versions are there of this song? I compared my 9:44 UK version to a 9:01 version on youtube and I'm a bit disappointed to see they're not the same. I'm wondering where I can find this 9:01 version.

I checked discogs and in fact there seem to be at least 3 other versions: one at 6:26 (album version), one at 8:24 (Prelude 12" version), one at 7:20 (Shep Pettibone's Mastermix version).

The 9.01 one on you tube is the US 12" the same one you have listed at 8.24 not sure how to account for the difference in timing though as the track all sounds the same. Maybe 8.24 is a miss- time. The Pettibone is also mostly this FK version chopped around and sped up a bit. If I recall rightly the UK 12" you describe ( B side to something else) is a kind of slightly crude UK produced megamix using bits of the LP version and the FK version.

Thanks Zef for looking into this. I suppose it must be a timing issue then. Now to find this record. I've had it stuck in my head for the past 2 days!

Does the 1992 DNA collaborated version counts?
