Robert Palmer - Addicted to love (45 edit

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi all, as far as I can ascertain, the 45 version of 

Robert Palmer's "Addicted to love has been released 

only on to two CDs.  An australian Dino comp which I 

would love to get a copy of, released around 1988 

called "A decade of No1 Hits", and then the Warner / 

Rhino compilation; "Omigod, the 80s pop culture box 

set", which has been dynamically bricked so hard, that 

pumping is heard through many of the tracks, just 

making the complete six CD set utterly unlistenable.  

For easy identifying, the track's length clocks ini 

around 4:00 to 4:02.

In 1989, EMI (in Australia at least) released the 

addictions compilation, the best of robert palmer 

volume one, which contained a remix from hell; the 

album version chopped up to make a new single edit.  

This version clocks in around 4:20 to 4:27 (mostly 

4:27) and painfully appeared on several compilations, 

just when "as seen on TV" companies where starting to 

release CDs, along side of their tapes and records.  

So my question is, does anyone know of any other, 

preferably) pre 1991 compilations CDs that the 

original 45 edit of this song ever appeared on.  

Original Australian 7 inch version (also US 45 

version)

	I would recommend either of these two CD comps to you for the 45 version post 1991: Forever and Ever 80s Volume 1 or the 80s Hits Icon 2 disc set (neither of which sounds better to me than what is already out there). Sadly I don't think the original 45 edit has appeared with better mastering then the OMIGOD box set. I know there was an import greatest hits of Robert Palmer a few years back that had the elusive Early In The Morning 45 version, you might want to check if that CD might have the 45 version of Addicted to Love on it. Trust me I am still looking for a better mastered Stevie Nicks Stand Back 45 version. Sadly that appears on only one compilation I know of.
