cher "i found someone" & "we all sleep"

I FOUND SOMEONE
the 45 issued as geffen 28191 is a slightly different version than the import cd version from the cd "greatest hits 1965-92" and is not like any of the cd versions listed in your database. the 45 version has much more noticeable guitars and drums....it sounds like a remix to me

the only place to find this version is on the uk cd single issued as gef 35cd 920-899-2

also

WE ALL SLEEP ALONE
is listed on the 45's face as a remix and is identical to the import cd version from the above cd

can anyone attest to the song "i found someone" being different on the 45 from any version....

     The 45 version of "I Found Someone" sounds like the same
version as is on the CD If I Could Turn Back Time - Cher's Greatest
Hits (Geffen 24509), at least to me.
     The 45 version of "We All Sleep Alone" is a different mix from the
version on the same CD (the 45 has a cymbal shot before the bridge
at the 1:33 mark, while the CD version has a drum roll).

The "common" version of I Found Someone is 3:44 and features loud guitar and louder drum fills, especially noticeable on the fade. I have this version on Cher [1987] (from which it originates), If I Could Turn Back Time: Cher's Greatest Hits, The Very Best Of Cher (US), The Very Best Of Cher (2 CD International Edition) and most recently Gold.

An uncredited different mix appears on Greatest Hits 1965-1992 and The Greatest Hits [1999] (both non-US compilations). Most noticeably, her vocals seem to be treated with a phasing effect and the guitar is not present on the fade out. This runs virtually the same length at 3:43.

Hopefully someone can compare to the US single or could provide insight on which version is which (perhaps one is a fade of the "extended remix"?).


Most noticeable on We All Sleep Alone is that the entire bridge and the final "We all sleep alone..." are resung on the remix. There are too many differences in the music to name.

Ed, I just bought this import CD and it does not have the 45 remix of "We All Sleep Alone", or at least, the actual 45 remix (taken from vinyl) that you sent me a while ago. I assume that mp3 is that actual 45 remix. One very distinguishing factor of the remix is that on her new vocal in the bridge she takes a HUGE breath between "we all" and "sleep alone" at the 2:38 mark. (The original version does not have that.) My import CD of "greatest hits 1965-92" contains the original mix and is printed in Germany, 1992, with an inner ring code of "Sonopress G-5510 / GED24439 A". Yours?

Also, can you verify that your CD of this has the breath at 2:38 as does your original vinyl?

It's possible there are 2 pressings of the CD with the different mixes. If not, then the only place to find this mix on CD is that promo single mentioned above.

ok.....i think i see where the problem is......i might have mixed up the 2 songs by accident in the explaination.......i just listened to the song "we all sleep alone" from the import "greatest hits 1965-92" cd versus the 45 and the 45 version has the distinguished breath at the 2:38 while the "greatest hits" cd DOES NOT have it......what i was trying to say in the original thread was that the import 3" cd single issued as gef 35cd-920-899-2 contains the correct "remix" of "we all sleep alone" as the lead track, BUT after re-listening to the import cd single to the 45.....the 45 runs 0:03 LONGER than the import cd single version.....what i was trying to say is that the 3" cd sgl also contains the correct 45 version of "i found someone" which is track #3 on this 3" import cd single......the greatest hits cd DOES NOT have the correct 45 version of "i found someone" too........hopefully this make it a little clearer.....except the part about the 45 being a few seconds longer......
