Does anybody remember Jimi Polo - Better Days (BBG mix) on Hi Life Records?

I only ever heard it once on Pete Tong 6pm-9pm sessions on the friday nights years ago Summer of 1996 (maybe 1997) there were only a handful of promo's (apparently) but it never got released.

I would be grateful for even a recording of the set but it wasnt an 'essential mix' as such.

Been bugging me for years:o

It was more similar to the original club mix but in a 1997 house vibe, so it retained the same vocal and piano. unfortunately it was none of the above, it was also nothing like the sasha mix that everyone knows. I remember seeing tracklistings printed (possibly mixmag?) saying BBG mix (Hi Life Records) and it was defo the friday night show 6pm to 9pm.
There are not many listings for the 'Friday Essential Selections' I only ever heard it play once.

At the time i was sending faxes off everywhere of wants lists and no one knew what is was apart from one guy called Ian @ Direct records who knew some DJ who had a 'doublepack' promo copy that was supposed to have all the old mixes and the newer ones. one of which pete tong played. Im more convinced the year was 1997
