Thanks to all for the suggestions! Unfortunately, the CD3's I was stuck with are mostly those MCA/Motown Vintage Gold. I doubt
whether there are any single versions that haven't been released on Motown since the Motown single sets came out except for
Stevie Wonder, and he's not in my 'left-overs'. And looking over the MCA product, I can't imagine there is anything I should
keep. I would assume the folks at MCA would've reached for the 'normal' masters. Oh well. -Bill.]]> Mon, 27 Dec 2021 11:19:04 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4428&PID=59889&title=late-80s-commercial-3-cd-singles#59889 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4428&PID=59864&title=late-80s-commercial-3-cd-singles#59864 Author: eriejwg

Even though it wasn't a Top 40 hit, the Raspberries has the
45 mix of "Tonight" and the 45 length and speed of "Let's
Pretend."]]> Thu, 23 Dec 2021 18:08:08 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4428&PID=59864&title=late-80s-commercial-3-cd-singles#59864 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4428&PID=59851&title=late-80s-commercial-3-cd-singles#59851 Author: AdvprosD

I also have a few of these CD3 discs, (As he goes to find the magnifying glass...)

One of these I keep on a little display shelf. It's a picture cover of Culture Beat ft. Lana E and Jay Supreme, "I Like You." It has three mixes
London Mix 6:53, an untitled mix 3:58 and Smoking Mix 6:56. It says at the top "CBS Dance Pool" and carries the numbers CBS 656025 3.

I also have a 5" CD single of this song on the shelf. I don't think I have any of the original sleeve or artwork. I don't remember which mix I
needed back in the day. I'm thinking it was only available on this CD3 at the time.]]> Wed, 22 Dec 2021 09:48:24 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4428&PID=59851&title=late-80s-commercial-3-cd-singles#59851 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4428&PID=59850&title=late-80s-commercial-3-cd-singles#59850 Author: mjb50

When they have exclusive tracks, it makes them worth keeping, but that's also what makes them worth a lot of money.

AFAIK the B-sides on these two from the OP's list are not available on any other CD:

Depeche Mode-Strangelove (Remix/Edit)/Nothing (Remix/Edit) (Sire 27777-2)
Wham!-Careless Whisper/(Instrumental) (Columbia 13K 68662)

Well, the US CD3 for Michael Jackson "The Way You Make Me Feel" is the only place that the 7-inch Instrumental has ever been issued in digital format. It wasn't even on the promo CD single.]]> Tue, 21 Dec 2021 21:55:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4428&PID=59848&title=late-80s-commercial-3-cd-singles#59848 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4428&PID=59833&title=late-80s-commercial-3-cd-singles#59833 Author: ChicagoBill

Bumping up. Back in 1994 when I closed up my record store, I had 50-60 of these CD3's I just threw in a box and moved out here and buried
in a closet. Now my wife says, 'When are you going to put these on E-bay and make a little cash'. Now, after reading 'Yah Shure's'
comment about the Eddie Cochran - 'Summertime Blues' being his go-to for the single version, I wonder what other CD3's should I NOT
purge? I remember the Raspberries topic a few years ago and I rescued that one, but is there anything else I should save? All of mine are
in the 'Oldies' subject not the current hits of 1988-1994. I also noticed that jimct's list does not contain any 'Mini Album CD3 Vintage
Oldies' that came out on MCA and Motown. I assume his station was not serviced with the MCA product. So does anyone have any favorite
CD3's that they think I should keep? -Bill.]]> Tue, 21 Dec 2021 10:30:01 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4428&PID=59833&title=late-80s-commercial-3-cd-singles#59833 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4428&PID=20074&title=late-80s-commercial-3-cd-singles#20074 Author: Jody Thornton

I've looked everywhere else and have yet to find a CD comp that has this version of the song, which fades at the guitar solo.

So are you saying that your 45 and CD3 (oooh I remembered the retronym...lol) have the same fade off on the guitar solo at 3:02, or do they fade on the part that says ...."you can't have pudding if you don't eat your meat....?" I know the phone tones and final kiddy screams are not on it.

I really think that the "Collection of Dance Songs" CD would have it too, no? It's on my LP.]]> Sat, 13 Dec 2008 06:52:43 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4428&PID=20074&title=late-80s-commercial-3-cd-singles#20074 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4428&PID=20071&title=late-80s-commercial-3-cd-singles#20071 Author: anthology123

Was the single version Pink Floyd's "...Wall" not also included on the "Collection of Dance Songs" LP, which I would assume the CBS/Sony released on CD, no?

Now were there not two single versions of this sent to radio? Both had the four-measure intro, but one version faded the guitar solo starting at about 3:02. Was this a promo single?
