Sledgehammer Promo

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

   Well, if anyone knows where to get the true "Sledgehammer" promo - I'd be VERY happy.  I like rare radio singles.  I knew at the time that it came on a small-hole Geffen 7" promo in the US, and on a 12" Promo in the UK.  I notice every cut of it I've heard has been somewhat sibilant.  So I hope that has just been the result of mistracking, and the engineer who edited it just didn't overload the sub-master tape.

	I might have the version you are looking for on the "A List" '80s collection. The intro goes directly into "You could have a ski train" at 19 seconds. This version fades out at about 4:01. If anyone needs a copy for evaluation purposes, let me know.

	Bumping up this old thread to see if the true 4:02 promo 45 version of Sledgehammer has surfaced on cd after all these years. I have the botched crossfade effort from tm century and a dub of my very sibilant 45 promo. I'd still like to get this on cd. Anyone have any updates? Edited by promojunkie
