Kylie Minogue

If I remember correctly: Originally meant to be on Impossible Princess but was bumped off after more commercial material was recorded. It was first released on the Other Sides EP that was released alongside IP and she also performed it at Intimate & Live shows.

Oh and Produced by Brothers In Rhythm.
Wow, thanks so much! This should have been on Impossible Princess.
 
Interesting title and cover

I’m guessing this edit is closer to the live’s structure? Surprised it’s 6.5minutes and not like a 3-4min edit.
As far as I know this 6-minute version is a demo, think the production is a bit different as well.
Changing the single mix of "Please Stay" from [was it the Metro mix?] to the admittedly nicer beefier single mix also probably didn't do them any strategy favours.


Is that the one? I don't hear any difference to the regular version.

That would’ve been a highlight on Let’s Get To It.

Does the Estate not letting her release a version forbid her from singing it live as well?

I don't think you can stop someone covering your song, even if it's unreleases, although if she's wanting to keep in the Estate's good graces she might not want to rock that boat. That said, if they see decent coin then it's a different story... like all families of dead artists.
 
I like It's No Secret, but I do think they did the right thing by moving on from the Kylie era for the UK in 1989 and giving us Hand On Your Heart instead. Especially For You, already felt like the beginning of the 2nd era in that respect too.
 
I think Kylie’s version should do the first verse totally acapella to drum home the virginal aspect of the lyrics.

Be the first to kiss these lips,
Lead astray these fingertips,
Be the first to spread these wings, (pervarama!)
Show me love and everything.

Normally I hate general terms in pop lyrics like ‘everything’ (Bananarama’s Stuff like that I’m looking at you) but here it totally makes sense as she’s just emerged from her chrysalis & is wanting to experience the world.
Little bit obsessed with Baby Doll atm
