    Big fan of this single, both sides are extended mixes. 45rpm on 12" is the way to go with these singles. This mix of Why Can't I Be You should be played at a club. Super punchy, crisp, and an absolute blast to listen to. Japanese Dream is also a really good B-Side as well, never heard it before getting this release and I love it.
