‡NB UK LP #MTLX 1042 (EMI USA label) has "Wild Women Do (Power Mix with Rap)" (the original version of which appeared on the Pretty Woman soundtrack), written by Greg Prestopino, Sam Lorber and Matthew Wilder and produced by Andre Fischer, as track 1 (12 tracks total). The track length is 4:18. The track was also noted to have been produced in 1990 rather than 1989 so this was probably a later issue of the album as the copyright notice was for 1990. The track is not listed on the various releases for this album in either Allmusic or Discogs listings,^[4] but had been released in various mixes as 7", 12" and CD singles in 1990.^[5]
