I wonder if "Take Your Time (Do It Right)" is a disc dub or
if they were able to find the master tape. That UK company
that reissued all the S.O.S. Band remasters a couple years
ago couldn't find a tape source.

You'll be pleased to know, we did it right.

It was pretty apparent the Tabu owners did not have this
tape. So it made sense the master tape never moved from
where it was stored in the early 80's. At the time Tabu
was distributed by CBS. We had Universal contact Sony and
provided them the matrix# of the 45. The tape was there,
untouched since 1980. Sony kindly dubbed the tape. It was
in pristine condition (I assume it had to be baked).
Sometimes all you have to do is ask.
There ya have it.

That's fantastsic news, Mark!

I'm a little confused by the (1988 version) of "Red Red Wine." I always assumed the 3:01 edit (an early fade of the version on the parent LP Labour of Love, I believe) was released in 1983 on 45, but in 1988 they issued the (original 1983) LP version on 45 (which runs 5:21 or thereabouts). Was the '88 release a remix? Or is this just to imply it's the full 5:21 version?
