referencing Rumors (7", 45 RPM, Stereo) 7001
Fun dance pop tune with a nice beat to it all. Controversial lyrics though lol. Big hit in 1986. -
From the pictures this looks like a standard single in a sleeve.
Can someone explain what the "box set" sticker means? -
Did this get enough radio play? Seriously though, there were FAR BETTER soul/funk records that came out this same year, that were completely ignored. -
Most CD's out there that have the Extended Mix seem to be sourced from a vinyl rip. I've listened to almost all discs out there containing it and I've found that this 1990 compilation from A&M has the best sounding version for those interested in obtaining it. -

Track A1 wrongly labeled "Long Version", this is the Shep Pettibone remix version (7:43)
Track A2 Also knows as "Dub" this is an edited version of the Shep Pettibone's Dub (4:53). The full length is 8:54.
Track B1 wrongly labeled as Vicious Rumors, this is the Original Version (4:54)
Track B2 wrongly labeled as Original Version, this is the Vicious Rumors version (7:07) -
