the live version of this song is on the A-side of the 45 and runs 4:17 and NOT 4:13 as stated on the 45's label....this should be noted in the db.... |

I guess this brings up a good question -- which side of this single was the "A" side? I see Joel Whitburn lists the studio version as the "A" side.

based on two factors i contend the live verion is the A-side.....number one...the lower matrix number is on the "live" side....live matrix is zss 173126 and the studio side is zss 173127...........secondly.....the 45's picture sleeve states on it's face "money changes everything" cyndi lauper live!!..........and again, this WOULDN'T be the first time whitburn got it WRONG!!!!

All the top 40 stations where I grew up (Western Massachusetts - I could also tune in Connecticut) played the studio cut. I also don't recall Casey Kasum playing the live version on AT40 (I could be wrong on this) either.

i don't doubt that the studio version got airtime, but we need to work off the commercial 45 release as what was issued as the "single" version, NO?

the review of the single in the 12/22/84 issue of Billboard also made no mention of the cut being pushed as the live version, which you would think they would, eh? Anyhow, perhaps Jim, who was in radio at the time could weigh in on this....

good points, BUT..........i stand by my analysis.....i believe the "live" version to be the "official" single version based on my previous statements.....anyone else what to chime in?

Although the live version was the A-side of the single, I have never heard it on the radio and have always considered the B-side (which is an edit of the LP version) to be the hit. I'm not sure the A-side was even serviced to radio stations.

...and to think that I thought the live version was simply a cool non-lp "b" side...
Since Whitburn was mentioned earlier in this thread. His album rock book also considered the studio version the hit (it made #37 on the AOR chart). I would think that radio format would have been more likely to play the live version than Top 40! |

But what does the 45 label list as the A-side? Or does it? The more of these we encounter, the more I feel like both sides should be considered the "official" single version. Because the video used the live version, and the picture sleeve says "live," I would probably consider the live version to the "hit" version myself. Edited by Brian W. |
