Browsing through his archives one day, David unearthed a genuine collector's dream and came up with a release whose success breathed new life into his singles' status. The remix of the 1972 single commanded most attention as the 1975 disco version was overlong and only really worked on the dance floor. The idea of releasing the two versions separately in the US was a good idea.
