Herman Brood-"Saturdaynight"

   My 45 is actually the listed (3:58). But the "Title" of the song, on both my stock and promo 45s, shows as one long word, "Saturdaynight". Possibly to not attract the ire of the 4-years-earlier Bay City Rollers hit, or the 2-years earlier Earth, Wind & Fire hit "Saturday Nite". Your database currently has it as two words. One of the better songs currently not available on CD, IMHO.

	Ed: What CD is it on? Is that "Herman Brood & The Wild Romance" LP on CD as an import, or is just the one song on an import V/A comp?

	If I'm not mistaken, there are different lyrics in the 45. I don't own either the LP or 45 so I'm no authority here! Andy

	I don't remember reviewing this one, Ed. Can you check to see if it was on one of the 15 discs?

	According to the All Music Guide website (www.allmusic.com), the Herman Brood import CD My Way: The Hits (BMG 8843921) has two versions of "Saturdaynight" on it. One is listed with a 3:40 run time, while the other is described as the "Big Band Version" and shows a stated time of 2:26. The latter clearly doesn't appear to be the correct hit version, but what about the former? Thanks to Jim, we know the correct 45 run time is 3:58, but All Music doesn't always list CD run times accurately. So does anyone have the My Way: The Hits disc who can tell us if the track listed as running 3:40 is actually the correct hit version?

	Thought I'd resurrect this thread since we never came to any conclusion as to whether the 45 version is on CD or not. Meanwhile, does anyone know which version of "Saturdaynight" is considered the LP version? Is that what's on the Shpritsz CD? Edited by Todd Ireland

	Todd, I'm certain that the 3:40 version on Shpritsz and My Way is the LP version. Just by listening to the online samples for both albums, I can tell that this isn't the sped up, remixed version on the 45.
