DEAD OR ALIVE - "You Spin Me Round(Like A Record)"

The actual 45 running time is (3:12), the listed time is "3:19" on the record label. (EPIC 34-04894)

Although I don't have the original issued album. This song of my stock compilation CD made in Japan is the running time of "3:17". It has the repeat 4 times of "Rock it" at the opening (about 3.62 seconds). But the commercial 45 doesn't have it. If the LP has also "the opening repeat", I think that it's possible to add the descriptions of "45 version and LP version" to the db.

Could anyone verify this tune on the LP? please.

My "Youthquake" U.S. vinyl LP does not fit the description mentioned by Abagon.

I know this is an old topic...but I was a bit confused by this thread. Is the commercial 7" the same as the U.S. Youthquake LP version or does it differ?

According to the database, they are the same. The LP referred to in the
above post is a Japanese pressing that abagon has, which appears to be
different from the US LP.

@abagon can you provide the Catalog numbers for this LP which contains the alternate version of this track?

Sorry, I misread your post! Thank you for clarifying and for posting the track listing of the Japanese compilation.

No problem, aaronk. Sorry for the posting that has ambiguous expression by me in 2008.

The "rocket rocket" intro appeared on the Dead or Alive CD Rip It Up, which was a pseudo-greatest hits collection where the songs were all mixed together. A very good CD, actually, but not if you're trying to hunt down the 45 versions.

I'm pretty sure that's the first place it showed up, but not 100% certain.

I found the same version as the Japan compilation CD version which has the "rocket rocket" intro on the youtube.

This doesn't have a re-mix. I don't know when the "rocket rocket" intro has appeared first. The Japan compilation CD version might be unique to Japan.

I'm pretty sure I have a UK compilation that has that intro. Everything else sounded the same to my ear. I can investigate, if anyone can use that information.

From Germany. On Disc 2, track 7. I just had a look at it in Audition, and it's 3:16.

Because the Germany CD was released in 1993 earlier than the Japan compilation CD. I could realize that the Japan compilation CD version wasn't unique to Japan. I assume an original European version including the "rocket" intro exists.

I've always presumed that that intro was removed for the U.S., while Europe (and Japan, apparently) got that intro, on the LP version.

According to allmusic.com, Rip It Up came out in 1987. I still think this is the first instance of the "rocket rocket" intro.

I also browsed Allmusic.com. As my thinking... we will be able to conclude about an origin of the "rocket" intro when we've got the "Rip It Up" CD, the U.K. original single and the U.K. pressing "Youthquake" vinyl LP. Also, the Japan commercial 45 is the same version as the U.S. compilation CD "18 Modern Rock Classics From The 80's" (those don't include the "rocket" intro). Thus I think as well as crapfromthepast report that the "Rip It Up" is the first CD including "rocket" intro. But I can't drop the thinking that U.K. original items might include that intro. I'll report back when I get the above three items in the future. Thank you, Steve Sharp & crapfromthepast.

Some (hopefully) interesting chart trivia about this one:

While it was released November 5th 1984, it didn't even enter the Hot 100 until June 1st 1985 (at #88). It entered the top 40 on June 29th, the top 20 on July 27th, and peaked at #11 on August 17th.

By September 14th it was out of the top 40 and completely gone by October 5th. ("Lover Come Back To Me" had already started up the charts.)
