Thanks Peter - I had forgotten about the Bryan "Chuck" New Remix. ]]> Fri, 17 Apr 2020 16:14:11 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1397&PID=54152&title=hall-oates-downtown-life#54152 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1397&PID=54151&title=hall-oates-downtown-life#54151 Author: peterpyser

From what I recall, the Urban Mix has always been the soundtrack to the video, back to its airings on VH1. By the way, there’s a recent digital EP release of the “Downtown Life” mixes including the Downtown Radio Remix and the Urban Mix (the DJ 45 edit of the LP version is not included). Tried to post a link to the Qobuz US store where I purchased it, but the link is not displaying correctly. It’s available there, iTunes, Amazon, etc.

I'm curious as well.

The Urban Mix is included on YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8U9WZwNFwA
and runs closer to 4:34, but you can't always rely on
YouTube.

Does anybody know if the radio version ever made it to a CD other than (I assume) the promo CD released to radio?]]> Tue, 22 Feb 2011 22:40:51 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1397&PID=29296&title=hall-oates-downtown-life#29296 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1397&PID=20689&title=hall-oates-downtown-life#20689 Author: Todd Ireland

According to Abagon, his commercial 45 copy of Daryl Hall & John Oates' "Downtown Life" (AristaAS 1-9753) runs 4:25. (The matrix number printed on the runout grooves is: AS-1-9753-SB-SP-DMM 1-3). The database currently indicates that commercial copies were all 4:27, which happens to be the printed record label time on Abagon's copy. Is this another case where the database reflects the printed 45 time and not the actual time? I know we're talking about a mere :02 difference here, but the 4:25 time does fall a little more in line with all the song's CD appearances.

The dj 45 edits the introduction of the LP (and apparently the commercial 45) out from :10 to :19. The ending on my dj 45 is :20 longer than the LP so it is a different version.]]> Sat, 30 Sep 2006 06:27:57 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1397&PID=7370&title=hall-oates-downtown-life#7370 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1397&PID=7365&title=hall-oates-downtown-life#7365 Author: Todd Ireland

Pat:

Does your DJ copy of "Downtown Life" simply run :10 longer than the 45 and LP, or is it a different version altogether?]]> Fri, 29 Sep 2006 21:37:37 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1397&PID=7365&title=hall-oates-downtown-life#7365 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1397&PID=7362&title=hall-oates-downtown-life#7362 Author: Pat Downey

This is an interesting situation Ed as the dj 45 runs (4:37) not (4:44) as stated on the record label and apparently is not the same as the commercial 45 which you say runs (4:27).]]> Fri, 29 Sep 2006 21:17:48 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1397&PID=7362&title=hall-oates-downtown-life#7362
