In 1982 a version was recorded with [[Vanity]] on vocals. Although it’s not clear if the song was considered for the [[Vanity 6]] project at the time. At one point, the song was considered for either [[Album: The Family|The Family]] album or possibly the [[Album: Mazarati|Mazarati]] album, and it was re-recorded with [[The Family]] around March 1985. |
