Sa-Fire - Boy Ive Been Told (OT)

The song was slightly below the Top 40 in 1988, and a big freestyle hit. I have not seen it much on CD at all.

In case anyone didn't know (and thanks to Aaron for a great discussion on this very topic when I sought it out) the 45 version is the Club Edit, which can be made from the 12 inch on Tommy Boy Greatest Beats. The B-Side, which is on the 1988 Polygram All-Stars CD is not the 45. There is no promo CD issued for it.

The correct running time is 4:10 for the 45 version. Guess we learn something new every day...

I heard it as well growing up in NYC too. The A-Side was probably too clubby, a case where the B-Side sounded more polished....
