An omission and certainly a Hit!!! (Number 11 in the US but only reached Number 48 in the UK ??)
From the fabulous “Cupid And Psyche 85” LP these are different versions with Alan Meyerson, Francois Kevorkian and Josh Abbey all teaming up on the main track as the “Way Perfect Mix” playing around with the bassline and cutting up the track.
The other version is the dub mix
The simplicity of the track shows on the longer and definite “Way Perfect Mix”, a genius of drum programming and pop hooks, Miles Davis covered it a year later.

I have every conceivable mix of “Perfect Way” and the longer it is, the better it gets, so the WLP “Way Perfect Mix” was the one to beat! I can’t believe that the UK failed to give that single the love it deserved. On the other hand, the fact that it managed to fly almost into the US Top 10 is an equally hard-to-believe proposition. America had awful taste by the middle of the 80s.
Each time I go to bed, I, I pray like Aretha Franklin.
Don’t know why I’m telling you this. It’s my dirty secret. Ah well. Not any more.
