As far as I know, this Clivilles & Cole mix of Chaka Khan’s Clouds was only ever commercially released on the cassette version of the Life is a Dance remix album. It’s a subtle retouch, with the late, lamented David Cole going crazy on keys at the end. It’s really all about that last “Sunny Dayyyyyy.” This was recorded off the cassette so the quality is not great, if anyone out there knows if this was ever available in any other format I’d love to hear about it.
