Paula Abdul - Rush Rush - September 1990 Recording (Single Take)

In the second half of 1989, after a successful chart run with three #1 singles on the Hot 100, Paula Abdul began planning her sophomore album. Presented to her as a demo by the Family Stand in 1990, Rush Rush was recorded in just one take as a scratch vocal and was never formally produced, save for being mastered in March 1991. It was ultimately recorded as the first track of the record, alongside Blowing Kisses In The Wind in 1990. The instrumental had been previously recorded in multiple studios by the Family Stand during 1989 and 1990 as a demo and remained unchanged upon 1991 release. The single which was scheduled for an April 1991 release, ended up being pushed back to May 2, 1991 due to a scandal. I did my best to retain the quality, but YT conversion process makes it a challenge. This is the demo, as they never formally redid the song. They just mastered it.
