Gap Band - You Dropped A Bomb On Me

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

   I'm starting to think that the original source tapes for some of the Gap Band 45 version were lost at some point.

On this thread for "Early In The Morning", I discovered that Billboard Hot R&B Hits 1982 used a dub from a vinyl 45.

Now, I think I found a vinyl dub for the 45 edit of "You Dropped A Bomb On Me".  The version on JCI's Only Dance 1980-1984 (1995) has a very long tail to the fade, and I think I hear surface noise at the end of the fade.  There's a differently EQ'd digital clone of Only Dance on Time-Life's Solid Gold Soul Vol. 25 Early '80s (1999).
