Thanks, Aaron for the info.

Oh, by the way -

Jim, MEGA thanks for digging out your 45s for this one! It's one of my all-time favorite hip-hop songs. As a funny side story, I became familiar with the song when I was in kindergarten.

It's an early fade; however, the LP version is not easily found on CD. I believe all discs with the LP version are out of print. My copy is on Rap's Greatest Hits on Priority---the one released around 1987 or so. I believe the LP version also appeared on one of the discs in the Rapmasters series (also out of print & on Priority), and the edited CD of In Tha Beginning...The Originals. All of the previously mentioned CDs are quite rare. To my knowledge, domestically, all CDs still in print have the 5:37 "neither" version.]]> Sat, 05 Jan 2008 16:14:19 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3021&PID=13934&title=boogie-boys-a-fly-girl-nontop40#13934 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3021&PID=13932&title=boogie-boys-a-fly-girl-nontop40#13932 Author: eriejwg

Is the 45 version of this song then simply an early fade of the LP version, or an edit of the LP, since Jim's 45's mention edit?]]> Sat, 05 Jan 2008 13:01:24 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3021&PID=13932&title=boogie-boys-a-fly-girl-nontop40#13932 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3021&PID=13930&title=boogie-boys-a-fly-girl-nontop40#13930 Author: jimct

Aaron, luckily I had saved this one, only because it "Bubbled Under" Billboard at #102, in 8/85. Both my stock 45 and both sides of my promo 45 state (Edit), and have both listed & actual times of (4:59). The deadwax info is "S-45-B5498-#99846-C G-1", for both my stock 45 and one side of my promo 45. The only difference on the other side of the promo 45 is that it ends in "G-2". With all your diligent research to date, it's looking like that aren't many 1985 options left to try to locate an original (5:37) version release, sir! ]]> Sat, 05 Jan 2008 10:47:44 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3021&PID=13930&title=boogie-boys-a-fly-girl-nontop40#13930 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3021&PID=13921&title=boogie-boys-a-fly-girl-nontop40#13921 Author: aaronk

Even though this rap record wasn't a top 40 hit, the top 40 station in my hometown did spin it at night. (This surprised me since it was 1985/86, and I was living in an area with virtually 0% minorities.) It did hit #6 on the R&B chart, and I've always wondered where the Rhino CD version came from. Here's what I have:

vinyl 45: runs 4:59 and fades out at the end

5:54 version on compilation CD: I presume this to be the LP version, which has a printed time of 5:52; it ends cold, and it's the same as the 45 but longer.

12" version: runs 5:48 and fades out at the end, but it cannot be extracted from the 5:54 (presumed) LP version.

Rhino CD version: runs 5:37 and is similar to the 12" version; however, instead of fading out it has a sound effect of an explosion at the end. Other than on this Rhino compilation (and also on a Thump compilation), I've never heard this version anywhere else.

Does anyone have any knowledge on this song and where that Rhino version comes from?]]> Fri, 04 Jan 2008 03:26:40 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3021&PID=13921&title=boogie-boys-a-fly-girl-nontop40#13921
