"Oh Jackie" by Tiffany from her second album Hold an Old Friend's Hand was only released in Japan in May 1989. At the same time Yamaha launched a full-scale media campaign featuring Tiffany and this song in order to promote their new line of stereo systems, named after her (the "Tiffany System Stereo" - as marked on this single cover) which pioneered "Active Servo Technology".
Other territories received the singles "Hold an Old Friend's Hand" and "It's the Lover (Not the Love)" within a similar time period, but neither performed well due to declining popularity in the west.
The tunes here fall into two categories. treacly and overblown slow ones ("It's the Lover (Not the Love)", the title cut) and pre-fab funk 'n roll ("I'll Be the Girl", "We're Both Thinking of Her" and "Oh Jackie").
