All (at least i believe) the versions of Neverending Story are now available digitally on Qobuz in cd quality:

I don't personally remember what version was played at the
time, but there is a 1985 aircheck out there of WLOL-FM Minneapolis from when the song was current, and they
played the b-side DJ remix.]]> Mon, 19 Apr 2021 07:16:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=260&PID=57979&title=limahl#57979 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=260&PID=57968&title=limahl#57968 Author: NightAire

It looks from Discogs like the 3:53 DJ remix is the B-side... reinforcing the idea that the A-side (which I assume matched the commercial single and LP version) is the hit version / mix / length.

Thanks for adding the (3:30) 45/LP version from Don't Suppose... to the db, Pat. However, just a reminder that Gold Legion 6221 also features as a bonus track the "12" Dance Mix" of "Never Ending Story" (track 11), w/ an actual time of (6:03), according to Todd. Todd also says it matches what was labeled as the "Club Mix" on the A-side of the original U.S. commercial 12" single (EMI America 7854), w/ a printed time of "6:09".

Bumping this thread back to the top because earlier today, while researching Jellybean's top 40 hit, "Sidewalk Talk", and the Gold Legion label, I noticed that Todd Ireland's info regarding the 2012 U.S. CD re-issue of Limahl's Don't Suppose... album on Gold Legion 6221 (or 562212, if you prefer) was never added to the on-line database. As Todd details, it contains TWO versions of his top 40 hit from 1985, "Never Ending Story". (Don't have the CD myself, but it's one of their titles I wouldn't mind adding to my collection, if I ever order directly from them...)

Also, looking on Gold Legion's official web site at the list of titles already out/in stock (NOT the ones up for pre-order!), I see at least two other CDs of theirs that feature top 40 hits, and thus belong in the db as well: Rejoice by the Emotions (Gold Legion 6229; includes "Best of My Love", and has been out since 2012) and Never Gonna Let You Go by Vicki Sue Robinson (Gold Legion 6213; includes "Turn the Beat Around", and has been out since 2010). While the former has already seen a couple of U.S. CD re-issues on Columbia/Sony over the years, the latter is significant because it marks the album's U.S. CD debut...]]> Mon, 22 Dec 2014 00:45:42 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=260&PID=42783&title=limahl#42783 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=260&PID=37983&title=limahl#37983 Author: abagon

I again clocked the commercial 45. The actual running time is (3:29). Sorry, Pat and Todd.

The Never Ending Story O.S.T. vinyl runs also (3:29) as well as the commercial 45 and Pat's vinyl LP.(EMI America ST-17139. the listed time "3:32" on the LP record label)

"Don't Suppose" vinyl LP runs (3:27) (EMI America ST-17142. the listed time "3:28" on the LP record label)
It is a shorter length than the O.S.T. LP and the commercial 45. But the version is the same each.

Incidentally, Aaron has a copy of the 3:53 promo 45 of "Never Ending Story" and I'm happy to report that he was able to successfully edit the 12" single version to match it. Thanks, Aaron!

A commercial 45 update from our friend abagon... He informs me his copy of "Never Ending Story" runs 3:30 though, like Pat said, it's difficult to pinpoint the first traces of audio signal due to the song's slow fade-in. Pat reported a commercial 45 time of 3:29 earlier in this thread, but for some reason the database currently states commercial copies all run 3:32. I don't mean to try to split hairs, but it looks like the 3:29-3:30 is more accurate of the actual 45 run time (and therefore more in line with the CD times) than what the database currently indicates.]]> Sat, 30 Aug 2008 11:21:51 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=260&PID=18546&title=limahl#18546
