Sheena Easton - Do It For Love

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

   Just wanted to memorialize something that I've noticed while researching the available versions of this song: the LP Version has been released a few times with errors, including:

10 Best Series: This release includes a smidge too much intro (the opening handclap/"Do You?" on the intro should not be there) and clips the tail of the final beat
Greatest Hits (1995, per Qobuz): This release has a stronger low end than several other releases.  Incorrectly includes about 18 seconds too much intro on 

the front end, and clips the final beat.

And while this is just a personal preference, it seems the bass has been cut / been EQ'd to be very attuned on many releases including the 2000's era Do You remaster on One Way.

This is all to say that if you can find a copy of the original '80s-era Do You CD, there is actually a bit more tail present but it's tucked away at the beginning of the next track.  It's probably not more than a second's difference to the newer masters, but getting that 

extra bit of fade helps makes the ending sound not so weird and abrupt.  

Just an FYI!
