I have the Des Barres 12" and the Animotion vrsion - DB better by a long way. Unfortunately I don't have a truntable that I can use to rip to mp3.

@escaton74 That would be great. My e-mail is: stvnhamburg@gmail.com. It was a great version and as soon as the Animotion version came out, it was gone. I guess Michael Des Barres is happy, he says he made a lot of money on that version. But his version with Holly Knight was a different song. The version here is a good recreation of the original.

@hamburg1306 I still own the 12inch, the duet Holly Knight is fantastic. Could send you an mp3 of the Extended Version if you want.

I always hated the Animotion version and remembered the original and wished I could hear it again. This captures the original and shows the song to be more powerful than the bubblegum version of Animotion. A great recreation, but I too wish the original was available. I had a 12" version years ago, but it's gone now. Thanks for posting!
