Bumping up yet another Bowie thread.

The single version is now available on CD in two flavors.
The original single version with the flanged breakdown is
on the David Bowie 2014 2-CD comp "Nothing has changed".
A 2007 Tony Visconti single remix can be found on the 3-
CD set, which can also be downloaded from Pono.]]> Mon, 20 Apr 2015 21:43:59 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7494&PID=43479&title=david-bowieyoung-americans#43479 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7494&PID=38134&title=david-bowieyoung-americans#38134 Author: eriejwg

Yet today, this song is a staple of the CBS Oldies playlist
nationwide besides classic rock playlists.]]> Sun, 23 Jun 2013 14:09:22 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7494&PID=38134&title=david-bowieyoung-americans#38134 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7494&PID=38133&title=david-bowieyoung-americans#38133 Author: EdisonLite

Gordon, your point is well taken. I always noticed that the Hartford
stations especially, would pay very close attention to what was happening
in both nearby Springfield and Worcester, MA. But that was the cutoff. For
CT radio purposes, Boston and Providence (which themselves have always
been closely linked) may as well be Seattle, WA and Portland, OR! Same
thing for Long Island, NY, and the CT shoreline. It's less than 20 miles
from Bridgeport, CT to Port Jefferson, NY. And daily ferry service provides
solid access. But, radio-wise, CT has never payed any attention to LI radio.
Yet I've known several "further out on the Island" LI natives (not nearby to
NYC, like Ed) that have long made CT radio their personal #1 choice. Kind
of a "one-way thing" there. Strange!

Throughout the country, I think, it's funny which nearby cities are
considered "more relevant" by the local population. It can be north, south,
east or west, and it isn't always to the closest nearby city. The reasons
probably go back many years.

In Boston, MA, "Young Americans" was a #1 hit. (In Providice, RI, it was very big, too). So, reading what you wrote about the CT stations, it's another example how far apart two US cities can be, even though they're so close in physical distance.

To DavidClark:

Answer: Yes and no.

45 can be created by editing (with one out-of-sequence) the LP version.

But there is a flanger used on one passage of the 45 that is hard to recreate perfectly.

Is the 45 version an edit of the LP version, or are there other differences
(e.g., in the mix).]]> Sat, 22 Jun 2013 21:46:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7494&PID=38124&title=david-bowieyoung-americans#38124 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7494&PID=38121&title=david-bowieyoung-americans#38121 Author: Todd Ireland

And I thank you kindly for keeping this item on your radar screen, Jim! I wasn't sure if the listed 5:05 time on the long promo 45 side was accurate since this would be approximately :05 shorter than the LP version length. Thanks for confirming the long side actually matches the LP version length... This was worth the wait, my friend!

A while back, Todd e-mailed me, asking me for the details of my short/long
promo 45 for this song. Unfortunately, as none of my CT Top 40 stations
ever added the song in 1975, me picking up a promo 45 for it was a lower
personal priority. Well, I have finally picked one up, and here are the
particulars. (Better late than never, my friend!)

(Short Version): listed time (3:11); actual time (3:13).
(Long Version): listed time (5:05); actual time (5:11).
