        What makes this variant so much rarer than the others with the number EPC 657774 2? The prices are much higher.

              There is probably an error in the release date of this single. In 1992 it was not common to release commercial singles in Brazil, mainly on cd. There is a detail on the back cover that can reinforce this information: the address of the sony website, considering that in 1992 the internet was not a reality in Brazil. This commercial single was probably released after 1995 along with the commercial singles for "You are not alone"

                  Never been a big Michael fan nor have I listen much to his music. But I must say that this song is one of the songs i like the most from him

                  The Time - a funky new jack song with a groovy beat, strings, organ chords and Michael's awesome singing

                  The Time (Silky Soul 7") - A groovy house remix by Steve "Silk" Hurley. with organs, strings, sax, piano and a groovy beat. I have listen to a couple of his 90's remixes and this on is as good as the others he has done.

                  The Time (New Jack Main Mix) - This has the same new jack feel as the original, but is longer and has a new drumbeat under it. Not that much different from the original song

                  The Time (12" Main Mix) - This version is just lazy filler. Extended by around 37 seconds. Just a little longer intro and outro from the album mix

                  The Time (New Jack Mix) - This one is identical to the "New Jack Main Mix" except that at being fully instrumental for the last 2 min or so it has Michael singing for a bit longer. Just lazy filler

                  The Time (Silky Soul 12" Mix) - The extended version of the Silky remix

                  The Time (Silky Soul Dub) - The dub version of Silky's remix. It has the same elements as the main remix but it is arranged differently. and since it is a dub, it plays more with the vocals. Chopping them up and plays with them a bit more. An okay version

                  The Time (E-Smoove's Late Nite Mix) - Another awesome groovy house remix by E-Smoove. I like this a little bit better than Silky's remix, but it is not by much. I love the piano in this remix. The early 90's house sound is embodied in this and silky's remixes. This really is a late night mix. Perfect for a late night listen

                  Come Together - never been a big fan of this song in general, so still not a big fan of this cover from Michael either. The sound reminds me a bit of his "Black and White" song, a bit of rock-pop ish

                  overall, this single has some awesome mixes and a couple that could have been removed and are just lazy fillers. It is worth getting this single for the E-Smoove and Silky remixes

                    It has a nice sound (even for being a mexican press, I believe it had been exported from the US...). Great bass, a little bit of sibilance, high volume cut (DJ Style), great Dynamic Range.
                    In a few words, great mastering and cut...

                      B2 is a mistake. I think they meant the time. Unless i'm wrong. Can anyone confirm?

                        I am looking for the version that says "Dedicated to Diana Ross" or something of that nature.
