And I wonder if the Hall & Oates "Playlist" CD, which contains "I Don't Wanna Lose You" (which just missed the top 40 by 2 notches), contains the long sought after (never on CD) single version! Can anyone send me an mp3 of this so I can determine if I should buy the CD for this song? This single version is one of my most wanted songs on CD! Every CD that's ever had this song has the album mix. And the one H&O CD that went out of its way to include single versions of every song didn't contain this song at all. Usually, it's only on their double-CD compilations, as it's not one of their biggest hits, so I was surprised to see it even on this.

I checked Amazon and answered my own question.
The CD has 8 single versions. It even spells it out on Amazon:
1. Sara Smile - Hall & Oates
2. Rich Girl
3. Back Together Again
4. Don't Change [45 Version]
5. I Don't Wanna Lose You [45 Version]
6. Kiss on My List [45 Version]
7. Private Eyes
8. I Can't Go for That (No Can Do) [45 Version]
9. Your Imagination [45 Version]
10. One on One [45 Version]
11. Family Man
12. Adult Education [45 Version]
13. Out of Touch [Video Mix]
14. Evyething Your Heart Desires [45 Version]
So I just ordered mine.
Incidentally, there's a Dolly Parton "Playlist" CD, and I was hoping it would have the single mix of "Think About Love" (a #1 hit on the country chart), which has never been on CD anywhere in the world, but unfortunately, the song isn't even included on the CD.

Gordon, let us know if the version of "Kiss On My List" is actually the 45 version. The true 45 has never been on CD before (the shorter versions on CD are edits to replicate the 45 but are not correct--only the Billboard Top Hits 1981 version came close, but they made one editing error).

Curiosity got the best of me and wandered over to my neighborhood Wal-Mart. They had the Playlist CD for Hall & Oates in stock. And, I'm happy to report, these are the correct 45 versions, including "I Can't Go For That" which matches my promo 45, so this makes the first ever CD appearance for that track.
Odd though, all the Playlist CD's that contain album versions are 6 something, yet this Hall & Oates was 11.99.
Guess we gots to pay more for those elusive 45 versions!!

John sent me an MP3 of "Kiss On My List." I can verify that the correct 45 version was used there as well.

Okay, but which side of your promo 45 -- the remix side or the album edit side?

Remix side or Club Mix at it was called. It is the 3:56 edit.

Just got my copy of Hall & Oates at Wal-Mart for $12.46 (yikes)! Still, worth every penny to finally have all of those single versions in one shot.

Another piece of good news about the Hall & Oates and Eddie Money discs is that the rare 45 versions on these are mastered pretty well. I feared that the volume levels would be brickwalled, but that does not appear to be the case.
"Two Tickets To Paradise" sounds so much better on this disc than even my best needledrop...I could never seem to find a 45 of this that didn't have distortion. And while the 45 version of "Your Imagination" could be recreated from the 12" version on the deluxe CD of "Private Eyes", that track was brickwalled on that CD. Not the case here, as "Your Imagination" sounds quite good.
A big thank you to whoever took the time to find these long-elusive 45 versions and include them on these CDs.

It's funny, just 2 minutes ago I loaded H&O's "I Don't Wanna Lose You (single mix)" (from Playlist) into my computer and noticed the same thing - it was not too overcompressed at all. And it sounds nice.

Now one can only wish that a Billy Joel "Playlist" will be released with the 45 version of "Sometimes A Fantasy."
"I've got blisters on my blisters" waiting for this thing to come out. (Sorry for the horrible reference)

Just an FYI to those looking for these Playlist CDs. They all seem to be on sale this week for $5.99 at J&R Music World in Manhattan and they are on sale on-line as well (just an FYI...all the Cameo/Parkway CDs are $6.99)
I just picked up the Hall & Oates, Rick Astley and Eddie Money PLaylist CDs. All I can say is that the 45 version of "Two Tickets To Paradise" is by far superior. Because I was just an infant when that was a hit, all I ever heard was the album version played on the radio. WOW....what a difference.

Or a Barbra Streisand "Playlist" with the 45 version of "The Way We Were." I wonder who produces this series. I don't recall seeing any credits on the CD.

Attn: Pat. db currently lists under this song:
(S) (3:07) Sony Music Special Products 28221 Hits Of The 80's 1982-1983 (45 version)
I was looking up 1978's "Two Tickets to Paradise" in the db to see if perhaps the elusive 45 version of this song had appeared on another U.S. CD since its 2008 debut on EM's Playlist: The Very Best of... collection, when the above listing w/ its descriptor caught my attention. However, quite understandably, the EM hit featured on Sony Music Special Products 28221 is actually 1982's "Think I'm in Love", so this CD entry will need to be moved to that song instead (and the descriptor dropped, since "Think I'm in Love" apparently has no 45/LP distinction)...

Curiously, what is considered the "45 version"? I don't
have a stock copy of this but my promo has a version with a
cold intro on one side, and one with a :21 intro (marked
"edit") on the other. Both sides have a listed time of
3:59.
ISTR airplay was a mixed bag on this back in '84, and this
is one of those H&O songs that just kind of dropped out of
sight once it fell off the charts.

The stock 45 has the cold intro. The :21 second intro version is unique
to the promo 45. The promo version cannot be recreated using any CD
sources that I'm aware of, as there are mix differences compared with
the LP and 12" versions.
