The Three Degrees previously had done the vocals on MFSB's "Love Is the Message." With this Moroder production they went off into a very different direction.

This record is not the only big 12'' The Three Degrees made with Giorgio Moroder. SET ME FREE, GIVIN'UP GIVIN'IN, JUMP THE GUN. You can find them often via Ebay. This for the lovers of the trio.
The promotional 12" was issued with yellow label in Ariola's promotional number sequence as PRO 7746, having the 8:13 long version on one side and the 3:43 short version on the other.
Commercially-issued 12"s often bore 'promotional copy only - not for sale" advisories stamped or embossed or via annoying stickers on either the label itself or the sleeve. Sleeves were also often punched or clipped, however meaning nothing to the issue status of the disc. New collectors should be aware that the only near-certain method by which to determine whether a record was actually issued promotionally is by the catalog number and/or designation as such in print on the label.
