Nocera - Summertime, Summertime

   Another low rung hit in 1987, this one is a freestyle classic. It appeared on Freestyle Greatest Beats 4 with a running time of 3:49. However discogs has the 1986 release as 3:22. Is the 3:49 found on the comp the correct 45 or is the 3:22? In 1999 there was a CD single released which has the versions but it has the original radio mix at 3:16 which might match the 1999 CD single release...

What makes this worse is a cassette in 1987 with the '89 was added which is possibly a remix and in 1989 this song was re-released but did not chart. 

The Cassette from 1986

	Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

	A few years ago I found this CD at my local F.Y.E. in the $3.00 rack. What a bargain! Nocera-"Over The Rainbow". Sleeping Bag records CDSB-11, copywrite 1987. "Summertime, Summertime" listed 3:22, actual 3:20. I think most of the Various artists CDs with this hit (Billboard-#84), have tracks that are segued together. - Bill.

	Chicago Bill, you got the deal of the year! That disc will usually set you back a couple hundred. The 12" Mantronix mix thickens the bass as well as providing a good break in the middle. I was sitting at a stop light the other day with it cranked and it sounded good over FM.
