I heard an extended version of "Ride Like The Wind" the other evening on one of SiriusXM's channels at the gym. (Shut up; they have a great cafe' downstairs.) It sounded like it was remixed and expanded from the original tracks as opposed to just throwing a beat over the original recording.

Looking at Discogs, I see no evidence of a 12" ever being released; does anybody know where this mix might have originated? Was this commercially released, or is this something SiriusXM had whipped up?

I don't see my 80s station playing it since it wasn't "original" to the era (I believe), but it was quite well done and faithful to the spirit of the original recording. I'm mainly just curious where it came from.

EDIT I may have just answered my own question:

Remixed With Love By Joey Negro (Vol. Two)

YouTube audio

I was hearing it on a ceiling speaker so it's hard to be 100% confident, but this sounds similar to what I heard. The album says "reworked from original multitrack tapes" so that would explain what I heard. Release date 2016. Over my home system it sounds more "reworked" than what I remember hearing, but again keep in mind I was hearing satellite radio over an 8" full-range speaker. :-) Some of the YouTube comments even mention hearing it on Studio 54, so there we go. Mystery solved!

My commercial 45 has "WBS-49184 XCA-8982-S LW2" etched in the runout groove. There are definitely two pressings!

I sent mp3 files of both the 45 and LP to Aaron, and asked him the analysis.

Aaron wrote:
"I think it would cause confusion to label it as "version." It's only a second shorter on the intro, and the audio level is very low at that point."

I agree with him. Many thanks for the opinion, Aaron!

Does the 45-rpm disc fade off before the long sustained "Ruuunnnnnnnnnnn" that Christopher sings at the end? I know most radio stations never aired the song that far to the end. Just curious.

There must be two pressings of "Ride Like The Wind," because Ed just sent me a dub of his US 45. The vocal starts at 0:35, just like abagon's, but Ed's copy runs 3:55. This lines up with the timing for the "45 length" CDs in the database.]]> Fri, 04 Feb 2011 19:29:28 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3211&PID=29106&title=christopher-cross-ride-like-the-wind#29106 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3211&PID=17615&title=christopher-cross-ride-like-the-wind#17615 Author: abagon

As the run time info:

The actual 45 running time is (3:50), the listed time is "3:54" on the record label.

On the UK45 the vocal starts at 35.897. On the TimeLife CD mentioned above it starts at 33.580. So the UK45 and US45 seems to be much the same (UK45 run a few seconds longer), while the LP and most of the CD's (perhaps all) have a shorter intro. The soundeffect which I mentioned above is around 0.6 (You have to turn up the volume to hear it).
Thank you all for Your help to clearify this. ]]> Thu, 20 Mar 2008 04:46:59 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3211&PID=15031&title=christopher-cross-ride-like-the-wind#15031 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3211&PID=15023&title=christopher-cross-ride-like-the-wind#15023 Author: abagon

I confirmed my stock commercial US45.Christopher's vocal starts at "0:35.747". The 45 running time is "3:50"
And I did this tune on US LP,too.His vocal starts at "0:33.645".Therefore LP's introduction is shorter than US45.
Oddbjorn:Thank you for the great topic.
