Hi guys,
I just gave my copy of The Jacksons – The Best Remixes (a Japanese release) a spin. I always thought this cd had two actual remixes (John Luongo mixes of Shake Your Body and Blame It On The Boogie) and four album versions, including Torture. At the end of Torture, I expected the usual 'screeching' guitar, followed by Jackie's ad libs... but they weren't there. I never noticed before. It actually has a much nicer ending. But what is the story about this version? It's the same length as the album version – it's not the 7" or 12" version. Why did they change it? (And if this is a later release, why didn't the Estate use it on the Scream album?)
Just rediscovering Torture!
