Wally Badarou "Novela Das Nove" Original 12" and Promo Only Remix Versions

From Discogs

"Wally Badarou was born 1955 in Paris. Although he planned a career as a pilot, he was seduced by synthesizers and rock & roll, eventually becoming a well-known session keyboardist in England and his own Nassau, Bahamas, studio. Badarou's early career included work with M (on the hit "Pop Music"), Joe Cocker, Herbie Hancock, and Island Records artists like Grace Jones, Black Uhuru, and the British funk band Level 42. In addition to his production and keyboard work for Level 42, he has done several film scores, most notably Kiss of the Spider Woman. You can hear both the rhythmic sensitivity of his African heritage and the harmonic sensibility of his classical training in his music. His expressive and sophisticated synthesizer textures are full of life, especially on his more dance-oriented Echoes album. In the nineties he released two albums, 1991's Chief Inspector and 1997's So Why."

Here he talks about his introduction to Sly & Robbie, working with Grace Jones, going to the Paradise Garage, the Padlock project, etc.

There are two versions of this single. The more common original version that I've heard most people play, and the promo only remix version. Both are quite similar with the original version sounding like the more stripped down version.
