    The song "Stop!" appears as a bonus track on the CD I have for Kool & The Gang's 1981 Something Special album. I can't track down whether it was a B-side for one of their singles, or a song that never got released until the CD. Any help if this came out on a B-side or not, and what year it first got out? [e.g. if it came out with first single "Take My Heart" it would have been 1981, if it came out with third single "Get Down On It" it would have been 1982.]

    My liner notes are in storage, or I'd do this myself. Thanks in advance!

    In the liner notes of the 1998 Something Special reissue, it says Stop! was recorded during the album sessions but was previously unreleased. It was apparently one of the few left-over jams from the Something Special sessions that was not revamped into a song for the As One album.

    Hope this is helpful!

    Yes, it is! Makes sense, since it's an instrumental. Thanks much.
