    The info about pressing country above ("") is incorrect, but is actually incorrect even on the record. On the sleeve it says "Western ", a country that has never existed. The English language name of the country was "West ".

      Nice album, nice bass. Love the way the drums are projected in this album. Can’t go wrong with Whitney. My copy also has the side 1 songs listed as side 2

        Start with Side B first. For some reason this release has a different track layout. Anyone know why?

          one of the more mature pieces of 80s pop. certainly of my all time fav voices. as girly as they may call it, i still like it. the greatest love of all is truly one fo the greatest covers ive heard. allongside all along the watchtower. but thats a different story alltogether now isnt it.
