Head's up, I don't support or condone Alan's transphobic views, being bisexual myself. When the video for this long lost full version of this song came up in 2022-ish, I emailed him for the original mp3 file. I still have it after all these years and decided to bring it back to the internet.
In loving memory of the arranger, Jimmie Haskell, one of the songwriters, Brian Potter, and while I'm at it, Sam Neill, the BETTER Alan Grant.
