12" remixes n/a on CD 1980-89

Ha, I owe you one. After reading your post I rechecked my item and it was a 7" vinyl EP. The seller was nice enough to cancel the bid.

So, when one of these babies pops up on ebay can I expect you to be my bidding nemesis? LOL

Or maybe Columbia will get a clue and throw the remix on something during their Billy Joel catalog update next year and save us BOTH the trouble of trying to find it elsewhere.

Good hunting.

How many versions of this song are there - is this everything:

Original single/album Mix 3:47 (peaked at #95 in 1986)
Remix 4:18 (peaked at #66 in 1986)
Special Dance Remix 6:52

And more importantly, have the 2nd and 3rd versions ever appeared on any CDs (import or domestic)?

I own that "I Go to Extremes" CD single with the extended mix of "Tell Her About It," Gordon.

It's strange--despite the fact that I strive to get single/radio versions on CD whenever possible, I always prefer to have the 12" versions on vinyl. It just seems like that is the format they were meant to be on...no idea why I feel that way, but it sure makes it easier (and cheaper) to collect them.

Rather than asking people to go down 2/3 of the page on page 1, I'm posting an updated (and shorter) list of 12" versions I still can't find on CD - in hopes someone knows of some import CD that has released any of these extended versions since my earlier post:

Top 40:
Basil, Toni - Mickey (so far, all CDs have used clean vinyl sources for this)
Branigan, Laura - Solitaire (this came close to being released on the Gold Legion label that folded before its release; such a big hit, I'd think it would be on some import compilation somewhere).
Branigan, Laura - Spanish Eddie
Carnes, Kim - Crazy in the Night
Climie Fisher - Love Changes Everything (extended mix, not "love mix" which is on CD)
Hartman, Dan - Second Nature
Kinks - Come Dancing
Scarlett & Black - You Don't Know

Not Top 40:
Amazulu - Montego Bay
Aswad - Give a Little Love
Manchester, Melissa - Energy
Sister Sledge - Frankie
Wilson, Mari - Just What I Always Wanted

Also, I just discovered on YouTube an extended version of Hall & Oates "Private Eyes" labeled "extended re-mixed" (5:18). Does anyone know if this has ever been on vinyl or CD? It doesn't sound like someone just made a longer edit - it seems to have other parts.

Also, on YouTube, I found an extended version of Kim Carnes' "Bette Davis Eyes" (6:43) and they show an actual original cardboard cover for it saying 'Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes 12" Maxi Single'. But then I researched discogs.com - it was released - but it's the regular album version; so I believe someone just made an extended edit from the album version for this YouTube clip. Has anyone ever tried duplicating this YouTube extended edit? It's nice. And considering it was the 2nd biggest hit of an entire decade (and a song that became part of our pop culture), it deserves to have a longer version!
