| I just got an mp3 from Edtop40 of the 45 version of Naked Eyes' "(What) in the Name of Love". It runs 3:49 and appears to be an edit of the LP version. Therefore, all of the song's CD appearances running 4:24 are likely the LP version. |

| I just ran the 45 version on my editing software and the run time is actually right at 3:50, which is also the time stated on the record label. |

Can someone spread some info on the 3:29 version on the UK "Promises, Promises" 12" single that I just picked up. Sounds like a different mix.

That's a new one for me!
EMI had successfully used Jellybean to redo the intro to the first single, "Always Something There To Remind Me" (he added the drums and toned down the chimes). They had him remix "Promises Promises" for 7" and 12", to be the second single. But EMI didn't like his mixes and got Tony Mansfield to do the 7" and 12" versions. The Jellybean edits were unreleased until the Everything And More CD collection, or so I thought. The Jellybean mixes time out at 3:44 and 6:57, the UK and original US album version is 4:28, the US 45 and later-pressing album version is 3:46, and the Tony Mansfield 12" is 6:22. No idea what the 3:29 version is, but will be happy to compare it with the other versions I have. ------------- There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one http://www.crapfromthepast.com" rel="nofollow - Crap From The Past . |

DOH!
Ignore everything I said above - everything I wrote is for "Promises Promises" not "(What) In The Name Of Love". Naked Eyes originally recorded "In The Name Of Love" as a B-side to one of their 12" singles from the first album. That's the 3:29 version you have, and it was titled "In The Name Of Love". The CD Everything And More included this version. They rerecorded it from scratch for their second album, and retitled it "(What) In The Name Of Love". The LP version ran about 4:28, the 45 was an edit of the LP version and ran about 3:52. Sorry for the detour down the wrong road... ------------- There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one http://www.crapfromthepast.com" rel="nofollow - Crap From The Past . |

Could someone post the edit instructions for the 45
version of "(What) In The Name Of Love"? |

If you're still looking for these instructions, I think I have them... Starting with the 4:24 LP version from the iTunes version of Promises, Promises: The Very Best of Naked Eyes (purchased in 2016).... Two edits and a fade: Delete 1:58.987 to 2:07.364 of the LP version Delete 3:18.811 to 3:35.753 of the LP version The file then runs longer than the 45 version, so you have to fade the result from about 3:36 to 3:51. I'm not good with fades, so I can't tell you what kind of fade it is. I just know the music starts to fade at 3:36 and is gone by 3:51. Hope that helps. |

| Thanks JL328. I only have the LP version at this point in time, so I'll give the edit a shot later, using your instructions. |

I found the 3:50 version of "(What)
In the Name of Love" in an import CD. It is a 5-CD various artists compilation from Chile titled 80's Forever Volumen 2 - 100 Clįsicos Anglo del Pop y el Rock (EMI, 908263 2 0). Track 6 from disc 3 is the single version of "(What) In the Name of Love" running 3:50. Here is the Discogs entry of that compilation: https://www.discogs.com/en/Various- 80s-Forever-Volumen-2-100- Cl%C3%A1sicos-Anglo-Del-Pop-Y-El- Rock/release/2801789 |

And..... this little factoid has NOTHING to do with this
thread, but before Naked Eyes had that name they were a new-wave group called "New Musik" and had a minor AOR hit, but major *new wave* hit in 1980 called "Straight Lines". In the U.S. they were on Epic records. "Straight Lines" was played a LOT on our new wave station (WLIR) in NY. It is very catchy, check it out on Youtube if you wish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4KXK7egzZk Alas, on Youtube they only have the LP version which was the 12" extended version. The single ran about 4 minutes. The funny thing is, it took me years to find the song because their band name was unclear...if the DJ said "new musik" you just assume it's new, but no band name! I finally found it on one of those Epic new wave samplers...they were 10" mini LPs with 2 tracks on each side. MM |

Actually, Mark, the band you're thinking of had Tony Mansfield as one of its members (who did production work for Naked Eyes), but neither Rob nor Peter of Naked Eyes were a member of New Musik. Prior to the name change, they called themselves Neon. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

New Musik was really catchy, but one clarification: the band featured Tony Mansfield, who would later produce the Naked Eyes albums, but didn't feature Pete Byrne or Rob Fisher from Naked Eyes. New Musik was outstanding, and most definitely worth checking out.
If you're going to sail down the rabbit hole, the two guys in Naked Eyes were in a band called Neon, along with Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, who would later form Tears For Fears! Neon released two 45s and nothing else, but their most interesting recording was an unreleased demo called "Victims Of Fact". Amazingly, my radio show ended up as a primary source on YouTube for the song - someone posted a clip, with a very long talkup, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djX7XiuyrmE - here . After Neon broke up in 1981, Pete and Rob formed Naked Eyes, and Roland and Curt formed a group called Graduate. Graduate released one worthwhile album in 1980. The Graduate song "Elvis Should Play Ska" grazed the bottom of the UK charts. Another Graduate song "Julie Julie" borrows quite a bit from "Star" by Stealers Wheel. After the Graduate album, Roland and Curt reunited with Manny Elias, the drummer from Neon, to form Tears For Fears. Footnote: After Naked Eyes, Rob Fisher would work with Simon Climie as the group Climie Fisher, who put out two worthwhile pop albums in the late '80s. Happy digging! ------------- There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one http://www.crapfromthepast.com" rel="nofollow - Crap From The Past . |

Kudos!!Great chatter on early 80s stuff guys. Keep it up.
Naked Eyes and Tears for Fears are a couple of my 80s period favorites. I may search out a couple of the earlier incarnations of each based on what you folks are saying. |
