THE RECORDS (?) OF THE WEEK:

WHO IS IT

CASSETTE SINGLE USA

EPIC/SONY 34T74406 S1

CASSETTE MAXI USA

EPIC/SONY 49T74420

 

 

The choice for the record of this week turns into the cassette singles world, and the spotlight belongs to "Who is it". The 6th single from "Dangerous" released in USA (4th in Europe), contains a special version including the "Oprah Winfrey intro", taken from the famous tv special in which Michael sings an excerpt of the song a cappella. This version, available only for the U.S. market, is on both the cassette releases you see in the pictures. 

The "cassette single" version - housed in a cardboard sleeve - contains 2 tracks (7'' edit and Oprah Winfrey Special intro version), while we have a different tracklist with 5 tracks on the "maxi single cassette", housed in a jewel cassette case (The Oprah Winfrey special intro version, Patience edit, the Brothers Patience mix, and Brothers In Rhythm house mix of "Who is it" + a special remix of "Wanna be startin'somethin'" also by Brothers In Rhythm).

Both cassettes are difficult to find, especially with stickers on front sleeve.
