Aretha - Who’s Zoomin’ Who

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

   I bought a cd compilation a few years ago called Soul-Like Sister & Brother put out on the Stardust label and it looks like it was distributed by BMG UK.  This included the Dj radio edit of Aretha Franklin's "Who's Zoomin' Who".  This clocks in at 4:05.  It was excellent cd quality of this song.  Is also includes Pointer Sisters - Jump, Jermaine Jackson - Do What You Do, Tavares-Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel as well as a few others we'd recognize in the U.S.  It's a good find if anyone is looking for that radio edit.

	The US DJ radio edit of Aretha Franklin's "Who's Zoomin' Who" was released in Canada as the commercial 45 (a not uncommon practice in the 1980s), so perhaps it was the UK commercial 45 as well.

	Just used my promo 45 (AS1-9410)to recreate the DJ edit. Label says 3:59, but actually runs 4:05.

	The DJ edit for "Who's Zoomin' Who" appears on the new compilation Knew You Were Waiting: The Best Of Aretha Franklin 1980-1998 on Arista/Legacy. There are several other 45 edits on this recent release.

	I just picked up the Who's Zoomin' Who Expanded Edition and like Indy500, I am wondering where this "radio version" comes from. It definitely is a remix of some sort and nothing like the version that was ever played on the radio. If anyone is interested, I can send a copy and can maybe shed some light.

	Merry Christmas everyone! I was listening to this song in my airpods today and couldn't help but notice how muddy sounding this song is whether it be the LP version or the short radio edit. Was this always the way this song sounded?
