Good stuff! I think the song would have been a bigger hit
if it had been officially released with an edit of this
remix.]]> Fri, 15 Sep 2023 11:13:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3313&PID=63619&title=van-halen-finish-what-ya-started#63619 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3313&PID=63609&title=van-halen-finish-what-ya-started#63609 Author: radiofan16

From the VH Reddit:



"The only mystery I know of is the story of WB wanting to test the waters on if
the public would care for a more pop dance oriented version of Finish What
You Started. Someone with access to the master tapes remixed a version and
tested it out in California and it got shot down quick. I’ve had it on bootlegs
since the early 90s but no official release."



"Ah, the notorious FWYS DJ Remix. If memory serves, in 1988 AR guys from
WB contacted a few radio DJs out of Los Angeles (who also happened to be
musicians) and they made the remix without consulting the band. Some LA DJs
got dub plates and I think the remix was used a couple of times in a
MuchMusic ad in Canada before VH management raised a stink and it got
pulled. So yeah, it's not an official release by the band."

I was surprised to find this song on a US commercial 3-inch CD single. It is the same remix found on the vinyl single.]]> Thu, 06 Aug 2015 14:13:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3313&PID=44072&title=van-halen-finish-what-ya-started#44072 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3313&PID=25870&title=van-halen-finish-what-ya-started#25870 Author: edtop40
