Where can I listen to this Disco Version?

Hi, Dean! I've tried replying to your member profile page, but it doesn't come up, so here goes:
I once held this single in my hands at a used record store in Manhattan. It was scratched beyond belief, and I left it there. It clocked in at exactly 5 minutes, and was the same formula as the "YOU SHOULD HEAR..." 12" single - they simply brought the bridge back in and let it play out - no "new" phrases you didn't already hear. I have since created my own remix (7+ minutes) from a digital source of the radio version - and if you'd like to hear it, email me at christopherallanmoore@yahoo.ca and I'll send you an mp3 of it. Nothing new or overdubbed, but cut and spliced with some new equalizing and vocal effects that make it worth listening to - good for a retro night!
