MM, thanks for the offer, actually I DO have that 12" on CD, likely the same one you're talking about:

Classic Alternatives Volume 2
SPG 1901, published 1994, SPG Music Ltd. in Ontario Canada.

(All times below are listed, not actual, times.)

01) Talk Talk - It's My Life (6:14)
02) Black - Wonderful Life (4:47)
03) Belouis Some - Imagination (5:27)
04) Romeo Void - Never Say Never (5:54)
05) Fad Gadget - Collapsing New People (Berlin Mix) (7:08)
06) Ultravox - Reap The Wild Wind (Extended Mix) (4:45)
07) Big Country - In A Big Country (Pure Mix) (6:18)
08) Altered Images - Happy Birthday (3:00)
09) Berlin - Sex (I'm A...) (Extended Version) (8:10)
10) Madness - Our House (Special Remix) (5:02)
11) Hunters + Collectors - Talking To A Stranger (7:30)
12) Oingo Boingo - Dead Man's Party (Party 'Til You're Dead Mix) (8:37)

-----

Volume One included When In Rome's "The Promise (On Mix)," Giorgio Moroder & Phillip Oakey's "Together In Electric Dreams," and Haircut On Hundred's "Love Plus One."

A great set, even with the handful of "unknowns" (to me, at least).

...Steve, are you still out there? Where did YOUR mix come from? Inquiring minds want to know! :-)

It was also on a Richard Blade Flashback volume. I also have the set
that Gene mentions above (which might have been Canadian), and
there are a number of tracks from vinyl.

That's the version on the UK 3-CD called The
Definitive Singles Collection
(1993), where it's
billed as "Our House (Stretch Mix)", where it starts and
ends with ambient talking.

There's a similar version that includes the intros of a
bunch of other Madness songs, running about 5:59, on a CD
I don't have called The Superstars Collection - Volume
3 (1991)
.

That 5:00-ish version with the a cappella ending turns up
on quite a few CDs: Sedated In The Eighties Vol. 3,
Classic Alternatives Vol. 5, Richard Blade's Flashback
Favorites Vol. 2,
and what may be the easiest and
least likely place to find it: Madacy's Rock On 1983
Sweet Dreams
.

I have lossless versions of all of these - PM me if you'd
like some of them.

Ah

thanks Aaron it was Richard Blade's Flashback CD i was thinking of. I looked it up last night but they didn't list the time or version so i wasnt sure.
Ironically, for whatever reason i didn't remember it appeared on cd when i dubbed my 12" single. But no matter, sounds great anyway.

Love that tracklist on the other disc above, my high-school days! I would BLAST the Hunters & Collectors song whenever it came on....

More than a year later, I'm still trying to figure out what was released on the U.S.A. on 12". I never did change out the single version for any of the 12" versions discussed, so I'm guessing I never got a final answer on this question.

For some reason I thought there was a 4:21 version that was the U.S. remix.

Steve Sharp seemed to agree that the 5 minute version was the UK version:

Quote:
The U.S. 12" and the U.K. 12" are completely different. The one that ends with the acapella is the U.K. 12". The U.S. 12" was remixed at least a year later (by a U.S. remixer - I'd have to look it up) for the U.S. market, and commissioned by Geffen/Warner Brothers, after they signed Madness.


However, I can now only find the 5 minute version listed as a U.S. 12" release on Discogs, and our database lists the 5 minute version as the 12" version, not just the UK 12" version.

MMathews seems to agree:

Quote:
...Well, I only bought the U.S. 12" mix on Geffen ... I just checked my mp3 copy of my disc dub and it runs 4:58...


eric_a suggests the UK version was at least one of the releases in the US (but this, to me, doesn't rule out a US mix):

Quote:
Geffen US released the UK 12" version on, I believe, the US 12" promo.


What I take from all of this is that the UK mix (4:58) DID have a U.S. release... but the 4:21 mix may or may not be the original (or later?) "official" U.S. mix... and I don't know of any CD source for it.

Can anyone clear this up for me? I'll admit part of why I'm looking so hard for a clean copy of the (alleged) U.S. mix is that I'm not a huge fan of the UK mix.

HELP! Can anybody confirm there was an independent U.S. 12" mix, how long it ran, and a digital source for this version?

Thank you in advance!

I do own the original US 12-inch, printed time 5:02.

Geffen 0-29667, remixed by Mark Kamins.

I believe there was no other US promotional or commercial "extended remix"; I would have been serviced it.

This is embarrassing.

I always, always, ALWAYS A/B "different" mixes to make sure they're not just early fades.

Well, apparently I didn't this time, and so this debate CAN be put to bed once and for all:

The short remix I have is nothing but at early fade of the 5-minute UK mix. I am unaware of any other mixes even possibly being issued in the United States at the time.

I am truly sorry to have brought this up again; I was so sure the two mixes were different, that they weren't connected... yet there's no question once I compared them together. (The pitch is faster on the 4:21 version... big deal. I'm sure that was to try to fit more of the mix on the album.)

Again, I apologize.

7" - 3:18
LP - 3:21
12" - 4:58

"Stretch mix" (not released in the U.S. at the time) - 5:58.

I'll now try to let this thread quietly drift off the front page again...

I believe the 12 inch version was at 45 speed. I was in college and it would always cause a problem. Many other 12 inchers were at 45 speed including "Addicted To Love."
Were these just the promo versions? "You're A Friend Of Mine" was also at 45 speed. One would forget to change the speed back to 33/1/3 on the old turntable!

Yup, the Geffen U.S. 12" was 45 rpm.    
Just for a quick review and confirmation- i pulled my cdr
of my disc dub, and the CD "Richard Blade's Flashback
Favorites" Vol. 2.   They are identical with listed and
actual 4:58.
The mix ends cold with the a cappella line: "something
tells you that you've got to get away from it".
