Laura Branigan - Spanish Eddie

I don't know if they print that information in all the
cases. I assume they started doing it because of
complaints they received.
Of course they try to avoid including vinyl transfers,
but if masters were destroyed or in very bad shape, I
know for a fact they remaster vinyl rips. Yes.
In my opinion (beside the commercial cuts from Branigan
"0") are "I'm just warmin' up" and "Don't close your eyes
tonight".
Just in between Cohen & the recording of this, her first
solo album, she did a concert in Germany (1979) where
covered some awesome songs. Some are posted on Youtube
(video format), and a few in audio format.

Crazy about Sheena as well down here. I like the Act I
special. It's really nice. Her concert at the Hollywood
Bowl is a complete treasure to me.

You need the complete set of the german concert?
I have the info somewhere. They're all covers.
"I will survive", "Emmanuelle", "I love the nightlife"...
even a song she wrote she plays at the piano.
Let me look for complete info on the concert. She was
signed after that concert. Atlantic Records
representatives were there. She came back to America to
sign a record deal thanks to what they saw there. You can
see some complete performances of it on youtube. Let me
look for the complete setlist (it even included an
interview (dubbed in german) and an acting part where she
recites some story.

Cristianmdp, thanks for the list

Note that the version you're referring to is only present in the physical copies of her 1995 "Best of" set. The ones on streaming platforms (Spotify, Deezer, Qobuz, Tidal, etc) play the regular album version. Weird.

cristian, I have that 1995 "Best of" in CD format and mine just has the
regular "Spanish Eddie". From what you're saying, it sounds like the
extended version is on it?? If you have a "Best of" CD with the extended
Spanish Eddie, can you say what country released it? Maybe it's an import,
and if so, maybe I can find it on the internet, as it sounds like a legit (not
bootleg) CD if it's a variation of "Best of" for another country.
