S’Express – Intercourse

 
Label: RHYTHM KING/SONY/EPIC (UK), SIRE/WARNER BROS (US)
Catalog #: 468567 2, 468567 1 / 9 26520-2

The one with Sonique. Mark Moore says get the UK / Europe versions and don’t bother with the US one unless you are a completist.

Mark says his definitive version of the album (if he could change it) would be the UK / Europe version but with the original short mix of Find ‘Em, Fool ‘Em, Forget ‘Em instead of the Wonder(s)que Mix (as much as he loves that mix).

Guest stars

Carl Craig: additional drum programming on Trumpets / Find Time To Be Yourself / What Does It Take?
Superstar Backing vocals by Sharon Blackwell, Naomi Osbourne, Lorna Rowe and Sylvia Tella.

The US album came out a good while before the UK release hence the vast difference between the two which I will attempt to explain:

1. ‘Nothing To Lose (Single Mix)’ is the US mix by Musto and Bones.
2. ‘Find ‘Em, Fool ‘Em, Forget ‘Em’ is an edit of the original Stax mix.
3. ‘Twinkle (Step Into My Mind)’ is in its original mix, only available on the US album. ‘Twinkle’ was used in Beverly Hills 90210 in the episode where they go to a rave and experiment with drugs!
4. ‘Nervous Motion’ is in its original mix, only available on the US album.
5. ‘What Does It Take?’ is only available on the US album.
6. ‘Nervous Motion (Gurls Mix)’ CD bonus track is an instrumental mix, is wonderful and is only available on the US album.

Sonique’s full vocal of Brazil was only available on the ‘Give Peace A Dance!: A CND Compilation’ CD. It was called ‘Brasil (Vox Mix)’.

Sleeve artwork by Sarah Gregory, vocalist of Carl Craig’s ‘As Time Goes By’ (Sitting Under A Tree)’ and Allez Allez fame. She was also the S’Express make-up girl. Inner sleeve by Tobie Giddeo.

As I said, the US album came out a good while before the UK release, hence the vast difference which I will attempt to explain… (PAY ATTENTION!)

1. ‘Nothing To Lose’ is the UK version. (Much better!)
2. ‘Find ‘Em, Fool ‘Em, Forget ‘Em (Wonder(s)que Mix)’ is the remix by Band Of Gypsies.
3. ‘Nervous Motion’ is a remix version by Kurt Rogers and it’s great!
4 ‘I Like It’ is not on the US album (it was the b-side of the first UK release of ‘Find ‘Em, Fool ‘Em, Forget ‘Em’ [SEXY 02]).
5. ‘Find ‘Em, Fool ‘Em, Forget ‘Em (The Eighth Out Mix)’ bonus track on the CD is the Andrew Weatherall mix.
