That's my understanding, yes. The cassette single has the LP version, and so does the 12" single. The promo CD single has the edited intro.]]> Wed, 11 Feb 2026 22:38:24 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2891&PID=67798&title=go-west-king-of-wishful-thinking#67798 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2891&PID=67797&title=go-west-king-of-wishful-thinking#67797 Author: mjb50

OK, I edited my last post because I was confused, too.

Based on Todd's last post from 2012, the cassette single actually has the album version (i.e., with the unedited intro), designated as "LP Mix", right?

Thus, at least on US releases, the edit so far only appears on the promo CD, where it confusingly has the same "LP Mix" name.]]> Wed, 11 Feb 2026 20:38:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2891&PID=67797&title=go-west-king-of-wishful-thinking#67797 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2891&PID=67796&title=go-west-king-of-wishful-thinking#67796 Author: aaronk

I updated the database, so hopefully it makes more sense now.]]> Wed, 11 Feb 2026 08:34:26 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2891&PID=67796&title=go-west-king-of-wishful-thinking#67796 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2891&PID=67794&title=go-west-king-of-wishful-thinking#67794 Author: mjb50

At the time (1990), the LP in question was the Pretty Woman soundtrack. I can't say what's on the vinyl, but the soundtrack CD has the full intro. It fades out on "I get over you, I—" right at 4:00.

The Indian Summer (1992) album version is the same, but the fade goes all the way through "I get over you, I know I will", ending right at 4:02. This was on the 1992 "Faithful" CD single as well.

As already noted, the actual single version is apparently the album version, whereas the 3:55 version with the edited intro is on the promo CD single. Confusingly, both versions are designated "LP Mix".

Interestingly, the 12" single says it has the "LP Edit" (3:51), but it actually plays the same old album version with the full intro. Its fadeout ends after "I get over you", a bit past 3:58.

So it seems EMI knew they had an LP Mix and a shorter LP Edit, but they kept getting them mixed up on the actual releases. Maybe the tape boxes or labels were swapped.

In any case, the database should clarify that all the albums/compilations have the album version, not the "LP Mix" single version.

Thanks to some help from Ed, I've finally been able to determine that the cassette single of Go West's "King of Wishful Thinking" features the "LP Mix" and has an actual run time of 4:01 (there is no printed time). Meanwhile, the B-side consists of the "Power Mix" (which also appears on the promo CD single) and has an actual run time of 4:00.

Can anyone confirm hearing the "Power Mix" on the radio? (From time to time, I hear a remixed version of "King of Wishful Thinking" on the airwaves and it makes me wonder if perhaps this is the "Power Mix"?)]]> Wed, 12 Sep 2012 21:52:27 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2891&PID=35298&title=go-west-king-of-wishful-thinking#35298 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2891&PID=13416&title=go-west-king-of-wishful-thinking#13416 Author: Todd Ireland

Thanks for passing along this info, crap.

Now, can anyone verify if the cassette single and LP version are identical?]]> Sun, 09 Dec 2007 00:27:44 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2891&PID=13416&title=go-west-king-of-wishful-thinking#13416 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2891&PID=13379&title=go-west-king-of-wishful-thinking#13379 Author: crapfromthepast

Pat - Times for the 3 tracks on the DPRO 04569 CD single are, if you cut off the outro silence:

1. LP Mix (printed 3:51, actual 3:55)
2. Power Mix (printed 3:50, actual 4:00)
3. Club Mix (printed 5:47, actual 5:51)

What are the actual running times without the outro silence?]]> Thu, 06 Dec 2007 07:21:00 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2891&PID=13340&title=go-west-king-of-wishful-thinking#13340 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2891&PID=13330&title=go-west-king-of-wishful-thinking#13330 Author: crapfromthepast

There was no commercial 45 for this song at the time, and I always assumed that the "hit" version on my promo CD single was the LP version.

Turns out, not quite.

The promo CD single is EMI DPRO 04569, 1990, with three tracks on it:

1. LP Mix (printed 3:51; actual 3:58 with outro silence)
2. Power Mix (printed 3:50; actual 4:02 with outro silence; has "re-mix By Jon Gass" credit)
3. Club Mix (printed 5:47; actual 5:52 with outro silence; has "re-mix By Jon Gass" credit)

Track 1 is not the LP version, but a very minor edit of the LP version that cuts the intro in half.

Here are instructions for creating track 1 from the promo CD, based on the LP version on Rock On 1990:

Keep the first 2-1/2 beats from 0:0.0-0:02.1.
Edit on the bongo hit.
Remove the 8 beats from 0:02.1-0:06.5.
Keep 0:06.5-4:02.7 (end) of the LP version.

The LP version is also on Retro Lunchbox Flashback Flix, and is also on the B-side of the "For Jukeboxes Only!" 45 for the song "Faithful" (EMI Records Group S7-56948).]]> Wed, 05 Dec 2007 20:48:48 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2891&PID=13330&title=go-west-king-of-wishful-thinking#13330
