The database lists Pop Muzik's appearance on the CD "Rock the Planet 70s New Rock" as the 45 version. However, the version on this CD actually sounds like an alternate version (either a different performance or a significantly different mix).
The version that appears on "Just Can't Get Enough New Wave Hits of the 80s" (also listed as the 45 version in the database) sounds like the version I remember from the radio. Anyone else heard the version on Rock The Planet? |

Yes, I have that mix, and it's the '89 Hip Hop Remix---not the version released in '79. It's the same vocal take, but the instrumentation is completely changed.

Does the Varese Sarabande Then 1 CD have the correct 45 version?

As far as I can tell, the Then 1: Totally Oldies CD on Varese Sarabande 302066219 does contain the correct 45 version of "Pop Muzik". The good folks at Varese typically go to great lengths to make sure the proper single versions are used on this particular CD series. |

I just received my copy of New York-London-Paris-Munich, and the (4:53) version of "Pop Muzik," which the database lists as LP version has a strange ending. On the line "Do you read me? Loud and clear," at the very end, there's a repeating/skipping effect for a few seconds on the word "clear." Then there's a quick backwards note and it ends cold.
The reason I bring this up is because we used to play a 4:50-something version on the air, but I don't remember it ending like that. Is the (4:58) promo version (listed in the notes in the database) different from the LP version? Perhaps this is the version we played. |

Aaron, for 3 years, the guy that followed me on the air back then (in '79/'80/'81) used the full LP version of "Pop Muzik" as his program's "Opening Theme Song". Your description of the ending is DEAD on to my repeated memories; it's EXACTLY what I heard at least 150 separate times, during the DJ transition in our main studio back then. To answer your (4:58) promo question, I just pulled it and played the ending for you. That DJ 45 version ALSO has the exact ending found in both your description, and my memory. Sounds to me like the (4:50)-something you got used to playing on the air was a "neither the 45 nor the LP version."

Thanks, Jim. You're probably right that we played a "neither" version. It's also possible that my memory has failed me on this one (especially since it was only played very occasionally).
When our station switched from CD to hard drive, sometime around 1997, we purchased the Maestro system, which came pre-loaded with music. Unless it was a very different version from what we had been playing, we just used what they gave us. I know for certain that not all of the songs were the hit single versions. For example, that "neither" version of "Tainted Love" found on Pure 80s was the one that came pre-loaded. |

The version with the cold ending was on the original 12" single, which I
had but finally got rid of when i got that version on CD. What's disappointing about that extended version is that as a result of the hiccup on that line, it actually cuts out some unique vocal ad libs on the fade out that don't appear anywhere else in the song. Does anyone have the original M vinyl LP who can clarify which version is actually the LP version? I always assumed the 45 version WAS the LP version and that the long version was the extended mix. |

My PD told me that the version of "Pop Muzik" he remembers playing when it was current had both the long and short on the promo single.
Can anyone confirm this one? |
