The "For Jukeboxes Only" 45s were easy for us to get here
at Record Research. Our wholesaler stocked them all.
IIRC, most were Country hits at the time.]]> Tue, 27 Aug 2019 17:26:04 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3146&PID=52514&title=duran-duran-ordinary-world#52514 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3146&PID=52513&title=duran-duran-ordinary-world#52513 Author: torcan

My experience with the "For Jukeboxes Only" 45s is that
they were an easy get. My friend who owned a record
store near Syracuse NY regularly got them in, ordered
them from his distributor at will and they were
basically the same price as other label's 45s. I've got
dozens of them.

Over the years I've also seen them in record stores in
Western New York and also the Toronto area. I always
thought they were easily available everywhere.

Go figure.]]> Tue, 27 Aug 2019 16:28:43 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3146&PID=52513&title=duran-duran-ordinary-world#52513 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3146&PID=52492&title=duran-duran-ordinary-world#52492 Author: thecdguy

I bought a bunch from my mall store, The Wall, from
1993-1996. We were in a small town in New York but
they
were part of a bigger chain -- though not sure if they
Trans World Entertainment had acquired them yet -- so
I
suspect they had them available fairly widely.[/QUOTE]

I worked for The Wall during the years you mentioned.
I don't remember seeing 45's come in to the warehouse
or seeing any in their stores, but it's entirely
possible I just didn't notice any the times I went.
Maybe the section they had of 45's were small enough
to the point where they didn't catch my attention. On
the other hand, by the 90's I don't remember seeing
very many 45's in Sam Goody or Tower Records, either.

I also remember buying a "For Jukeboxes Only" 45 from a mall store in the mid '90s. I think it might have been "Dancing With Myself" by Billy Idol.]]> Sun, 25 Aug 2019 18:47:37 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3146&PID=52486&title=duran-duran-ordinary-world#52486 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3146&PID=52485&title=duran-duran-ordinary-world#52485 Author: eric_a

For being available in stores? I'd venture: never.

I subscribed to a record pool at the time, and I'd receive them in the mail as part of my subscription.

The early '90s had killed off the 45s almost entirely from all the stores I frequented back then. In Tucson, there was one little mom-and-pop shop that could order 45s for me, but they were ridiculously expensive (compared to the price of a used CD), and I only bought one or two from the shop. The "For Jukeboxes Only" 45s weren't available, even if I wanted to order them.]]> Sun, 25 Aug 2019 16:14:22 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3146&PID=52484&title=duran-duran-ordinary-world#52484 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3146&PID=52481&title=duran-duran-ordinary-world#52481 Author: thecdguy

How common were the "For Jukeboxes Only"
45's in terms of them being available in
stores? I spent many hours in various
record stores in my area and never saw any
45's with that label on them. In fact, by
the time this song was on the charts,
pretty much all of the stores I went to
seemed to have stopped selling 45's
altogether. By that time, Cassette and CD
Singles had taken over as the main Singles
configurations.]]> Sun, 25 Aug 2019 13:01:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3146&PID=52481&title=duran-duran-ordinary-world#52481 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3146&PID=48737&title=duran-duran-ordinary-world#48737 Author: radiofan16

The most notable difference is that this mix has an electric guitar after the second chorus, whereas the LP version has an acoustic guitar. The "AC Edit" is an edit of the LP version, although there's a crossfade at one of the "edit" points and not just a straight cut.

The Single Edit(with the short acoustic passage) was what was used for the
video, the electric guitar solo after the final verse is moved back to after the
second chorus and the ad libs from acoustic solo on the LP are added.

Curious to hear the AC version.

I wasn't working in radio quite yet when "Ordinary World" was released, so I don't know the back story on that promo. My guess is that it was a reminder to programmers about all the hits they previously had, while also giving radio stations a nice CD copy to use for their gold library. Their previous album Liberty from 1990 didn't yield any top 40 hits, so Decade from 1989 served as a nice career summary.

Thanks for the info, aaronk. Interesting that they packaged these edits with the entire Decade CD.

If I recall correctly, one of the "Electric Barbarella" promos sandwiched a ton of previous hits between its Edit and Album Versions.]]> Tue, 26 Dec 2017 11:39:38 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3146&PID=48735&title=duran-duran-ordinary-world#48735
