Glenn Medeiros - Nothings Gonna Change

In 1987 I bought the 45 of Glenn Medeiros's "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You" shortly after it entered the Billboard chart. The 45 I bought back then did not have the saxophone solo in the intro.

At some point I misplaced that 45 and acquired the song on CD. The CD version contained the saxophone on the intro. Recently, I acquired another copy of the 45 that also has the saxophone.

Does anyone else remember the version without the sax intro, and has this appeared on any CDs?

I've dug up some details regarding Glenn Medeiros' Spanish-language version of his 1987 hit, "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You"...

When his self-titled debut album was released that year, the original pressings in ALL THREE formats (i.e., vinyl LP, cassette, & CD) featured only nine tracks, and only the hit English version of "NGCMLFY". (Bought the cassette myself at the time.) The CD edition was on Amherst AMH 93313, and the front cover pictured Medeiros standing on some steps w/ pink railings. Pat does already show this original in the on-line db...

By 1990, Medeiros had signed w/ a major label, and they also elected to self-title his new album that year, on MCA 6399. Of course, that 1990 album ended up doing even better, landing him two additional top 40 hits, the former going all the way to #1: "She Ain't Worth It" (ftg. Bobby Brown) and "All I'm Missing is You" (ftg. Ray Parker, Jr.)...

In response to that album's success, Amherst went back and re-issued the 1987 album by the end of 1990, but made three major changes in the process: 1) The front cover art was now a close-up of Medeiros in a white shirt w/ his hand under his chin, 2) They re-titled it after its hit, Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You (to avoid confusion w/ MCA 6399), and 3) They added two bonus tracks, which were Spanish-language versions of "NGCMLFY" and "You're My Woman, You're My Lady" ("Si Me Faltas"), for a total of 11. The CD edition of this re-issue is on Amherst AMH 94401, and is still in print to this day. It's the version I just obtained, and while Pat DOES currently show the English version in the on-line db (which tells me he has this CD already), he neglects to list the Spanish-language version as well. It's track 5 ("Nada Cambiara Mi Amor Por Ti"), and I can report that it has an actual time of (4:07)...

Oh, and attn: crapfromthepast. From the Wilson Phillips - "You're In Love" thread:

That being the case, while researching this song by Mr. Medeiros, I made an additional discovery, which you may want to track down (if you don't have it already). As a Hawaiian, he actually recorded a Japanese-language version of "NGCMLFY" as well! While it hasn't yet appeared on any U.S. CDs, it's included on the later Japanese versions of his 1987 s/t debut. Page on Discogs: GLENN MEDEIROS - "Glenn Medeiros" (Japanese CD) (1987) And here's a used copy currently listed on eBay: GLENN MEDEIROS - "Glenn Medeiros" (Japanese CD) (1987) I also found it posted on YouTube, which was the first time I'd ever heard it: GLENN MEDEIROS - "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You" (Japanese-language version) (3:55)

There's a couple of Glenn Medeiros albums on iTunes but I
haven't purchased them to see if they have or don't have
the saxophone.

I have this version on a fairly scratched 45 and would like to replace it. I was surprised (and disappointed) that the version on Hard To Find 45s On CD, Volume 15: 80s Essentials & Beyond was the sax version which is readily available on many cds.

Sorry about that for Volume 15 80s Essentials. I really
tried to convince "the boss" that collectors would love
that early mix, but I was outvoted. Three others and the
boss felt that casual Amazon buyers would want to hear
the version they remember most. But I tried!

And no, the original mix never made it on to the LP
because by the time the LP was made, the remix with sax
was already on the charts.

Thanks for the info Mark! I would have voted for that
version as well since it fits in the rare category vs
the sax version. Hopefully the original version will
see a digital release at some point in the future.
