Does anybody know of a CD source for this single, import or domestic, besides the one listed currently in the database?
Even better: do you know of a digital source for it on iTunes or Amazon? If I could download it for 99 cents, that would be ideal! Edited by NightAire |

Somebody needs to find the master tapes and get this song on CD. Maybe Bill Buster will eventually get this one on a future Eric Records release for us.

Is there something wrong with the mastering or source for
this song on its lone CD appearance (K-Tel's Behind Closed Doors)? I just gave a quick listen and it sounds like a tape source to me. In fact, there's about 1.5 seconds of tape hiss audible after the fadeout of the final note. I don't have this song on vinyl for comparative purposes, but it sounds like a flat transfer from an original or LP cutting master copy. Definitely not audiophile sonics, but sounds about right for a country-pop record from 1981. |

The lone database CD appearance of John Schneider's "It's Now or Never" sounds like it came from a tape source to me, Roscoe.

This was a Scotti Brothers single. All American Records owns this if I recall. Must not have been many reissue labels clamoring to re-release this one. It's even scarce on 45.

Not good, not good...
Thanks to Ed, I've had a chance to hear the K-Tel CD version of this song. More research is needed to determine what is going on, but at least to my ears, there is steel guitar in the CD version that is NOT on my copy of a vinyl version. Whether my version is the original 45, or from an LP I do not know... but it appears there were at least two mixes made of this song. (The vocal take is identical, and the mix is very similar otherwise.) I'd say we need someone with the original commercial 45 to take a listen and see if they have steel guitar in their version. If not, I'd say the single mix has never made it to CD. It would not surprise me if a "pop / single mix" was made of the song, since he was originally targeting a country audience but ended up with a top 40 hit. If what I have isn't the single mix, my suspicion is it's the version sent to top 40 radio. The length, BTW, is identical, although I had to speed up my copy by about 2% to get it to match the CD... and even then it falls in and out of sync. (It sounds like my copy was hand-cranked or something!) Can somebody with this 45 physically in-hand play it and tell us if your version has steel guitar in it, or not? (It's things like this that make me think the record companies hate us!) ;-) |

i just listened to the scotti brothers 02105 vinyl 45 and
it sounds identical to the version on the below cd 1981 IT'S NOW OR NEVER (the actual 45 running time is (3:21) not (3:15) as stated on the record label) (S) (3:22) &nb sp; K-Tel 3163 Behind Closed Doors there is some discussion above about steel guitars on some source, but the scotti brothers vinyl 45 and the "behind closed doors" cd version are identical....gene.....your k- tel version must be either the original album version or some remix version.....
