Based on the liner notes i read from the 'I'm A Rainbow" cd it explains that it was shelved but David Geffen's label was not mentioned. Apparently the album was linked to Casablanca/Mercury records. The record industry always want to put artists in certain BOXES and then that is where the artist should always be. If you go back 1 year to 1980,The Wanderer album came out and it had the tited track at #3 on Billboards Hot 100 charts. The other songs released were in the top 40. She can sing rock.
@DEEDUBB1979 David Geffen refused to release the double album and hired Quincy Jones to produce her next album...he also refused to release This Time I Know its for Real...later released by Atlantic.....
wow let rock it babey awesome :D

What was David Geffen thinking not releasing this back in '81. He would have made so much money then. Donna still rocks.
