Great work Mike, thanks for your contribution, I will
continue searching for the file.

I tell you that I got a copy in wav format of the 7” Edit
From 12” Steve Thompson Dance Mix version.
There is no scan if the file is really a wav, I am not sure
of the origin of the file either, although the soulseek
user assured me that it came from the Maxi 12".
If any member would like to review the file, I will be
happy to send it, just let me know.]]> Fri, 29 Dec 2023 10:12:16 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5957&PID=64199&title=icehouse-electric-blue#64199 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5957&PID=64197&title=icehouse-electric-blue#64197 Author: mjb50

Marcelo, you're right; I thought you wanted the "ST Edit", as ripped by DjPaulT from a different promo 12", but that's not the same. Sorry I wasn't able to help. And apparently David sent you the same thing.

We talked in file-sharing land already about the lossless copy of the edit that's available there. Sadly, after taking a close look at the spectrogram in Audition, I see that it's actually from the same lossy source as the YouTube clip. Someone just processed it with one of those audio restoration plug-ins, adding harmonic distortion and noise. It may be subjectively "better" but it's not lossless.

It might be possible to recreate the edit from pieces of the other Steve Thompson remixes. I tried briefly, but gave up when I couldn't locate one short section. I also wasn't entirely sure about the reverb and EQ. If we really want it that bad, one of us may just have to buy and transfer a copy of the 12". Looking over Icehouse recordings in MusicBrainz, it seems doubtful that this version showed up anywhere but on that record.

I found the version I'm looking for, uploaded to YouTube by
the user "Oreste Eduardo Calcagni", I leave the link so you
can listen and compare, and if someone can send it to me in
wav or flac format, I thank you in advance

This is one of those songs I didn't fully appreciate when it was popular. It's since grown into one of my all-time favorites. It should be noted that John
Oates not only co-wrote the song, but also provides some awesome falsetto backing vocals that really put this one over the top for me. ]]> Tue, 26 Dec 2023 08:01:47 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5957&PID=64193&title=icehouse-electric-blue#64193 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5957&PID=64192&title=icehouse-electric-blue#64192 Author: kaqueno

Thank you Mike for your contribution, unfortunately in the
files you sent me there is not the version I am looking
for.

13 years after this post that Ron opened, I would like to
ask if anyone knows if the 7” Edit From 12” Steve Thompson
Dance Mix version (4:10) was released on a CD, or if anyone
has it

comparison, thanks.
