Inconsequential mastering note:

The 3-inch CD single for "Footloose" is based on the mastering for the Footloose soundtrack CD (so it's the LP version), and it cuts off the opening drumbeat. Avoid.

Regarding the "Let's Go Crazy" edit, my personal theory is that it plays in "artistically" with the theme of the song. The overlapping voices create a feeling as if one were going crazy in the head. Probably not why it was done that way at all, but just a "crazy" guess.]]> Sun, 18 Jan 2009 09:31:05 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1516&PID=20598&title=kenny-loggins-footloose#20598 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1516&PID=20597&title=kenny-loggins-footloose#20597 Author: Hykker

That is one weird edit. Instead of editing the dialog at the beginning they overlapped 2 sections making it all but unintelligible. Anyone know why they did it that way?]]> Sun, 18 Jan 2009 06:33:14 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1516&PID=20597&title=kenny-loggins-footloose#20597 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1516&PID=20594&title=kenny-loggins-footloose#20594 Author: RichM921

As a huge Men Without Hats fan, I have to say, I love the single version of "Safety Dance" and actually dislike the LP version. The two are actually remixed differently. There seems to be more instrumentation in the single. It's almost like a wall of sound. However on the long version, it seems more stripped down. ]]> Sat, 17 Jan 2009 21:09:55 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1516&PID=20594&title=kenny-loggins-footloose#20594 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1516&PID=20593&title=kenny-loggins-footloose#20593 Author: MMathews

Re: Footloose;
I recall in the NY / Long Island area, that some stations played the 45 version, and others played the LP version.
Re: Safety Dance, I recall when that broke on the new-wave station some months before it was released in the U.S., they only played what we know as the 12" / LP version. A friend had the import 45, and that was the same as the 12".

Upon it's first release on Backstreet, the LP contained the 45 version, but once it hit, was quickly re-pressed the include the 12" version since most stations seemed to playing that. At the time, the only place i ever heard the 45 version was in the video, or on the Casey's weekly countdown.

I know this is the one song (safety dance) where I prefer the LP version. Same goes for Footloose as well...I just love those drums in the beginning. Some songs I hate when they play the LP version just because I'm so used to the 7" edit. For example, Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" and Huey Lewis's "Heart of Rock and Roll." Not to mention Diana Ross's "Upside Down."

I honestly think the "S-s-s-s-A-a-a-a-F-f-f-f...etc" part had such a hook that it became the most popular part of Safety Dance, which I would guess is why radio stations picked up that version. The song is really not all that interesting without that part. Funny thing is, even the video uses the short version.]]> Sun, 11 Jan 2009 20:33:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1516&PID=20490&title=kenny-loggins-footloose#20490 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1516&PID=20489&title=kenny-loggins-footloose#20489 Author: The Hits Man
