A stamped "D" stands for DMM, and indicates that the plant received a copper plate not a lacquer (since 1984).

    Anyone looking for a CD containing the Extended Dance Remix look no further. As of Dec 2024 still the only CD containing it in master sourced quality.

      Unlike the album version, this Sledgehammer has an extended rhythm intro before the horns come in.

        It surprises me that I've never heard anybody suggest that Sledgehammer was highly "influenced" by Stevie Wonder's Superstition.
