Peter Gabriel "In Your Eyes" & Wham

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

   Is anyone an expert on "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel?  I have the LP Version (5:23) and a different mix (pulled from a TM Century Gold Disc) that runs 4:58.  This "remix" sounds just like the 12" single that I have, but it's edited in length.  Would this be a DJ only edit of the original 45?  Pat's 8th Edition of Top 40 Music On CD indicates that DJ copies ran 4:36 and 6:15, but the 4:36 may have been a misprint on the label, or I may have an entirely different edit altogether.

Also, the 8th Edition doesn't specify anything about Wham's "Freedom," except that it's on "Make It Big" (which is the LP Version of course).  But I also have a mix (pulled from an old "Now" compilation from the UK) that has some synthesizer "horns" at the end of the song; it runs 5:18, and I believe this is the 45 version.  Anyone know?  I compared this version to the "Long Mix" on my 12" single, which runs 6:16 according to the label, and they are very close but the 5:18 version does not appear to just be an edit of the "Long Mix" (different drum intro).  I also have an import CD of Wham extended mixes (Epic 450125-Australian import), and it has the "Long Mix" with a run time of 7:06, but this sounds like an extended version of the LP Version (no "horns" at the end).  Can anyone shed some light on this subject?

	Yes, the 5:18 version with the synthesizer horns and the George Michael ad libs towards the end is the US 45 version. It's also on the Wham import comp, "The Final." In addition, the 45 version of "Everything She Wants," which is the short remix with only the first half of the vocal bridge from the extended version, is available on the UK CD single of "Last Christmas," which has: 1. Last Christmas 2. Last Christmas (Pudding Mix) 3. Everything She Wants "The Final" also has the 45 version of "I'm Your Man." Now... I'm not sure where to find the full-length version of "Edge of Heaven." The "Music from the Edge of Heaven" CD cuts the last couple seconds of the studio chatter at the end. The import "The Final" did include the full version on the original pressing I had back in the late '80s, but that got scratched and I replaced it, and the second one I got also faded out the chatter! I'm sure the full version is available on some CD or other, but I don't know which one.

	I finally got my hands on the DJ 45 of "In Your Eyes" and the label incorrectly lists (4:36) as the run time. The actual run time is (4:58) like on the TM Century disc I mentioned above.

	Sorry for taking so long to respond to your inquiry. "In Your Eyes" was originally released as a 45 (Geffen 28622) in 1986. The A-side is a remix, listed as 6:15 and timed at 6:12. The B-side is a Special Mix (which is more like a dub version of the song), listed as 7:14 and timed at 7:10. In 1989, the song was re-released as a 45 (WTG 68936) to coincide with being featured on the soundtrack for the film Say Anything. The B-side was a song by Fishbone, "Skankin' To The Beat." I don't have this particular 45, but Joel Whitburn lists the time as 4:53. Interestingly, the soundtrack CD (which I also don't have) lists the time for "In Your Eyes" as 5:23, the same as the original LP version from So. I hope this helps.

	Thanks for the info, Paul. I'm guessing that the (4:53) run time is probably the same as the (4:58) one that I have, but faded a little early (or incorrectly timed). Does anyone know which version is featured on the Say Anything soundtrack? I've also seen the time listed as (5:23), which leads me to believe it's the LP version. The (4:58) mix has the alternate vocals toward the end: "Accepting all I’ve done and said I want to stand and stare again Til there’s nothing left out, oh It remains there in your eyes Whatever comes and goes Oh it’s in your eyes"

	I have the WTG Promo CD for radio stations. Says 4:53 on it but it runs 4:58 so that one is mis-timed. It has the alternate vocal at the end. I think I originally gave Pat the info on the 4:36 DJ copy as I have it. I just gave him the label time. I should have timed. So there is not 4:36 length, that's a label error too.

	In addition to the alternate vocal at the end(which I think is the much better version), the intro is cut from the LP version as well.

	Fetta, I think you mean the intro of the (4:58) version is half the length of the intro of the LP version. That's true. The (4:58) version can actually be created by editing the (6:15) 45 version. It takes five or six edits and early fade.

	Not that I know of. It's a different mix than the LP.
