1987 studio album by Jellybean
Just Visiting This Planet is the second album by Jellybean , the nickname for American producer, remixer and songwriter John Benitez . The album was released in 1987 and contains the singles "Who Found Who", "The Real Thing ", "Jingo " and "Just a Mirage".
In 2012, the album was remastered and expanded by Cherry Red Records . It featured five remixes, including a remix of the song "Sidewalk Talk ", which was originally released as a single in 1985 and is written by Madonna , who also provides backing vocals.[ 1]
Reviewing the reissue, Record Collector wrote that while "the synth stabs, LinnDrum gloops and crashing beats sometimes date the set, tracks such as 'Walking In My Sleep' [are] quintessential exercises in 80s New York studio excess."[ 6]
