The database still indicates the 4:03 version as (45 version but :24 longer and additional background vocals at the very end), this thread seems to have reached a conclusion otherwise. The opening bassline/lack of bassline is the give away to me.]]> Sat, 14 Jul 2012 16:05:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5950&PID=34631&title=billy-ocean-caribbean-queen-45#34631 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5950&PID=31232&title=billy-ocean-caribbean-queen-45#31232 Author: Indy500

Just to resurrect this thread, I just received my reissue from Cherry Red, and the 'twelve inch' version of Caribbean Queen is the same as the U.S. album version as far as I can tell...however, it fades 20 seconds later. So it runs 8:16 instead of 7:56! And, track 1, just like on the U.S. album, is the full 7:56 version of the song! So, unless there are some distinct differences in the mixes, you basically get the same exact song twice, simply faded earlier on one time.

Here's a question. Does the 5 minute version on European releases of the CD, where it is called "European Queen/Caribbean Queen", actually have different lyrics?]]> Wed, 20 Jul 2011 12:16:28 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5950&PID=31020&title=billy-ocean-caribbean-queen-45#31020 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5950&PID=31007&title=billy-ocean-caribbean-queen-45#31007 Author: Indy500

Thanks for the info, there's some other interesting bonus tracks as well. I'll time out this 12" version just on the chance there is some odd variation.]]> Tue, 19 Jul 2011 18:24:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5950&PID=31007&title=billy-ocean-caribbean-queen-45#31007 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5950&PID=31000&title=billy-ocean-caribbean-queen-45#31000 Author: MMathews

For Indy500,

The U.S. 12" version is what they put on the US LP. So, if you locate the "Suddenly" CD you will have the US 12" single.
I did a vinyl dub of the 12" a week before i started this thread.
I then went online to all sources of the "Suddenly" album, and noticed it has the same version as the 12" single, same remix, same length.
And, as Ron's excellent research above shows, the Greatest Hits CD and many others actually contain the U.K. 45 version, which in the U.S. is an edit of the 12" single and U.S. LP version.
The U.S. 45 is apparently only on a few cd's.....

It looks like the European release did not have the 12" version:

So the new Cherry Red release is probably a remaster of the European release, which is why they are including the '12"' version, which to those in the U.S. has always been the album version...
