The 12" is a MUST. Repeat, a MUST. Unfortunately, the record seems to have been deleted from production, and AoF wish you luck in obtaining a copy. (AoF has 2 of the 12" and wouldn't mind acquiring additional ones!) All four versions on the 12" are just perfecto! But especially notable are the Appollo 440 remix, which has a heavy dance beat, great to work up a sweat or trance to; and Tautology Business mix, which builds up the chords like a march and which altered the life course of AoF resident chief slave forever.

Highly recommended as well, although the mixes aren't as great as those of She's A Woman. Very euphoric song, a bit more gentle than She's A Woman. Sweetie Irie's toasting doesn't work as well as Shabba Rank's on She's A Woman. He's a bit too gentle, too self-effacing, so the contrast between his toasting and Green's sugary crooning doesn't work as well for counterpointing as Shabba vs. Green.

A cover of Stevie Wonder's song, one could say this isn't properly a Scritti song since there are no lyrical contribution by Green and the arrangement also smacks too much of someone else's style: The handling of Green's voice -- more prominent, straight forward, and less stylized than in the usual Scritti sound -- shows obvious direction from BEF. But nonetheless, it's a great song and if you like Green's voice, you really get to hear it REAL CLEAR!
The 12" version has a smoother built-up and climaxing. The 7" and CD versions have an abrupt jump in the middle of the song which interfers with the rapture.
