Thanks for pointing this out, Robert. I'd never noticed before that the Taragon version is not the hit version. Apart from the 45 and the Taragon CD, the only other place I have the song is on the German Eddie Fisher's Greatest Hits vinyl album, which I believe was issued some time in the 1980s, and it is also the alternate take. So it looks like the hit version has been MIA for a long time.]]> Fri, 15 Dec 2017 11:59:56 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=186&PID=48705&title=single-versions-on-import-cds#48705 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=186&PID=48647&title=single-versions-on-import-cds#48647 Author: Brian W.

It's a disc dub on that particular CD. Apparently they
couldn't find the US 45 master. Fortunately Eric Records
found it and used it on a "Hard to Find 45s" volume last
year.]]> Tue, 28 Nov 2017 12:39:38 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=186&PID=48647&title=single-versions-on-import-cds#48647 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=186&PID=48645&title=single-versions-on-import-cds#48645 Author: Robert

S.O.S. Band - Take Your Time (Do It Right) (Part 1)

      The US commercial single version of this song (3:51) is available on an
EU box set called The Tabu Anthology (2014 Demon/Tabu
TABUBOX0003). The box has an entire disc of 7" mixes according to liner
notes, but the band's hit is the only single I own, so I cannot compare the
rest.]]> Mon, 01 Jun 2015 16:25:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=186&PID=43705&title=single-versions-on-import-cds#43705 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=186&PID=41343&title=single-versions-on-import-cds#41343 Author: Brian W.

That's interesting news on the US 45 edit of "House Of The Rising Sun." I have a wav file of the edit that sounds very good (it's from a mint US album which contained the same edit). If you have never heard the US single version it has two obvious edits which might just be the worse edits ever done on a number one hit.]]> Mon, 05 May 2014 15:35:38 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=186&PID=41318&title=single-versions-on-import-cds#41318 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=186&PID=41317&title=single-versions-on-import-cds#41317 Author: Yah Shure

The hit 1964 MGM 45/LP edit of the Animals' "House Of The Rising Sun" has finally surfaced on CD, via Warner Music Japan's Parlophone label (the uncut HOTRS was not issued by MGM until about a year later.) Listed as "The House Of The Rising Sun (edit version)," it is the last of eleven bonus tracks on The Animals (WPCR-15413) with an actual time of 3:00. Though nowhere near being brickwalled, the disc is mastered a hair on the loud side.

Also new from Warner Japan/Parlophone: both the European and U.S. versions of "We've Gotta Get Out Of This Place" are included on Animal Tracks (WPCR-15414), with the latter U.S. version bonus track - listed as "We've Gotta Get Out Of This Place (alternate take)" - clocking in at an actual 3:14. Sonically, this one runs loud. The Animals' 2004 Abkco Retrospective collection is a better choice for the U.S. 45/LP version. And for those who prefer the non-U.S. worldwide hit, stick with the Animals' old warhorse 1987 EMI U.K. The Singles Plus disc (CDP 7 46605 2), which still has the best-sounding "House Of The Rising Sun," IMO.]]> Mon, 05 May 2014 14:53:38 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=186&PID=41317&title=single-versions-on-import-cds#41317 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=186&PID=30773&title=single-versions-on-import-cds#30773 Author: Brian W.
