Madonna - Crazy For You

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

   I apologize if this info is already in the BIG Madonna thread.

The true 45 (on Geffen, released as a single from the soundtrack of Vision Quest) runs 3:58.  The fade starts on the downbeat at 3:36 (inside the word "you"), and runs 32 beats to about 3:57.  I hear a tiny bit more than the 32 beats at the end, but it's buried in surface noise, so I'll call it 3:58.

The version on the Something To Remember CD runs 4:01, with a fade running from about 3:43 (at the end of the word "baby") to 4:01.  It's not quite the 32-beat length of the true 45 fade, and it starts and ends too late.  Bottom line: not really the 45 length, as far as this board is concerned.

And you all know about all the remixes on The Immaculate Collection, so no need to elaborate.

If you really want to recreate to true 45 fade, you can start with any of these CDs, all of which sound good on this track (no noise reduction) and (unfortunately) none of which are common:Geffen's Vision Quest soundtrack (1985, levels a little low)
Geffen's 4-CD promo Geffen Records A Musical History Of The Decade (1990, differently EQ'd digital clone of Vision Quest and slightly louder, which is good)
Swaitek's promo A List Disc 27 (1994; sounds quite nice here, no noise reduction; based on a TM Century disc?)
To recreate the 45, start with any of these three, and add a 32-beat sinusoidal fade from the downbeat at 3:37 to the downbeat at 3:57.

	Thanks for pointing out the specific details regarding the correct 45 fade, Ron.

	Does the music video for the song have the correct 32 beat fade? I have the Something to Remember CD and I thought I had the correct 45 version.

	Since there aren't too many CDs that have a non-Q Sound remix of "Crazy for You" (only OST Vision Quest & Something to Remember), I noticed on Discogs it's also on an import 5-track CD single called "La Isla Bonita (Super Mix)". It clocks in at 4:11. (I heard it on Pandora today). Based on the timing, it must be the soundtrack length (25 seconds too long to be the Q-sound version) And speaking of this song being on "Something to Remember", the database indicates it's 4:11, but the digital version of the album has "Crazy For You" clocking in at 3:44. (And based on that timing, I'd guess it's the Q-sound version, which clocks in at the same time. Does anyone know about this difference between the CD and digital releases of "Something To Remember" - and do any other songs differ between the 2?)

	The inclusion of the Q-Sound version of "Crazy For You" is the only difference between the physical and digital releases of "Something To Remember" as far as I can tell. Even though "Oh Father" is labeled as Alternate Version on the digital version, it is the album version included on the physical release.

	It seemed like there were so many people disappointed in the Q-sound remixes on the "Immaculate Collection" CD. It would have been a great opportunity to put a comp with all the single mixes. But that's never really happened. Luckily, there was that Japanese box set of CD singles. I still hope someday WEA will put out a great comp of all her singles (with the singles versions). At least her charted singles (including her UK hits like "Dear Jessie".) A 4-CD or 3-CD set would be really nice.
