So you DO have it??? I'm a huge fan of all three hits from the album, and have had the cassette for some 25 years now, so I'd been debating buying the Renaissance CD myself. However, I was going to await feedback from Pat or other forum members first. If what you're saying is true, I certainly agree that would be a worthy note to include in the db. But since it IS a U.S. CD, why wouldn't it automatically belong in the db??? Are you implying that Pat has omitted other U.S. CDs from the db because they were mastered from vinyl??? If so, I wasn't previously aware of that...

But the Renaissance album is available to hear on iTunes (partially) and Spotify (completely). Anyone listening on headphones can hear that this was mastered from vinyl.

Thanks for the additional info, EdisonLite. If it's THAT obvious, then I'll likely pass - I DO know to proceed w/ caution when it comes to the Renaissance label. A shame, since my own research indicates that the (fairly) recent U.S. issue on Renaissance is the ONLY time that Save the Dancer has ever come out on CD in the format's entire 30-year history. (Somewhat surprisingly, AFAIK, it's never been re-issued in digital form in Japan, Europe, or anywhere else in the world.) Sounds like my original U.S. cassette on Ariola America 4XW-50031 will continue to suffice - and hey, it's from a TAPE source, w/ NO vinyl noise/elements to worry about! :-)

Yes, the Rhapsody, Spotify, iTunes and amazon mp3 sources are all from the Renaissance CD.
