Here are a handful of tunes I'd love to find on CD if anyone can help, import or domestic:
The song "Holdin'On" by Tain Cane on CD at all?
How about the song "Midnight Blue" by Louise Tucker? The version I have on a K-tel record is very different than a version I heard on one of her CDs once--it's a much more 80s pop sounding version with heavy electronic drum rolls throughout. That's the version I would love on CD.
On a K-tel records called "Hit List" I have the ALBUM Version of Zappa's "Valley Girl", but where as on his CDs (greatest hits and original) it gets CUT into the next song, the FULL version actually almost fades out but then end with a final drum hit! Has anyone EVER found this full version of the LP master on CD?
Thanks in advance all.

Bud, I don't have the K-tel (vinyl?) album titled "Hit List" but I have the orginal vinyl LP on Barking Pumpkin Records #38066 titled "Ship Arriving Too Late..." and the ending of "Valley Girl" sounds identical to the cd of the same title on Rykodisc.

I don't believe any of the titles you mention have been issued on CD.
I have done needle drops of all of these: Holdin' On and Midnight Blue from the LPs they originally appeared on, and the full length Valley Girl from the 12" single.

ah...so the full length version of Valley Girl was issued as a 12". I'm really surprised that's the master tape a k-tel record would use, because they usually always used single edits.
I was sure when I bought a Zappa greatest hits collection that the full length version would be intact since it was out of context of the original "flow" of the album it came from.
Anyone know if the version I have of Midnight Blue (also from a K-tel record called Expressions) is a remix released as a 45 or something? When I finally located it on a CD, I was disappointed to find the mix was so different.

I have an import "Best of Louise Tucker" CD, but I don't know which mix it contains. Can anyone clarify an exact difference between the two mixes mentioned above?

I'm really interested in this also.
I first had "Midnight Blue" on the very K-tel album
budaniel has; "Expressions" .. but later i got her album
"The Louise Tucker Project" and that's where i dubbed my
current copy from. both albums are sadly long gone now.
Nothing jumped out at me back then about them being
different back then, but i never specifically compared
them.
It's favorite so now i have anxiety until we know for
sure....

Hi all, I found a copy of Louise Tucker's CD with "Midnight Blue" on it in the cut out bin at a local record store in the late 1990s - one of my best finds ever! Used copies were selling for $160 on Amazon and I paid $2.99, I think. The CD I have has the original single version - I'm sure of it. I'm happy to share if anyone wants to hear it - just PM me.

Thank you to Frank... and i can also echo his findings on
the version. Someone nicely sent me a dub of the 45, and
it is the same version as the LP. Btw, to correct the
title i mentioned above, it is actually "Midnight Blue -
A Project with Louise Tucker". My u.s. copy was on
Arista.
I noticed on Discogs that many countries actually listed
it as by Louise Tucker & Charlie Skarbek...which makes
sense to me since we are hearing an awful lot of him on
there. Just sayin'.
I was curious also so i went on Spotify... they currently
offer two "best-of" type collections for her, they look
like "imports". Both have the original version we know,
same mix same length. There are also several remixes
offered, all madke from the original hit version... oh
and there is actually a 12" version here! At least they
claim it is.
Nothing to get excited about tho. Yes, it is the original
version but not a remix, it just runs almost the end,
then during the end drumbeats, it suddenly splices back
to first verse and plays again. That's all they did.
I'm guessing these same tracks are on I-tunes and other
outlets, so getting a really nice clean digital copy is
possible. The tracks i played on spotify sounded super-
clean from very good masters.
OH - btw, on one of the digital albums, it shows
"Midnight Blue" as a "7" Mix" ... i checked, this refers
to a single mix of a 90's remix - not a single mix of the
1982 Mix. The 1982 single is the same the 1982 album.

Frank and I did some comparisons and found that the proper Louise Tucker "Midnight Blue" version is on 2 CDs. He has it on the "Midnight Blue" CD by the Louise Tucker Project, a very limited edition release or very early release from Arista.
I have a 1990 European CD called "Midnight Blue - The Best of Louise Tucker" on the SilenZ label - SICD 203 from Amstedam. This contains two versions of the song - one labeled "1990 mix" and one labeled "US mix", which is the proper one. (These labels make me believe there would be a 1983 UK mix, too, different from what we got at the time in the US.)

I just checked on Amazon and the CD that Gordon has is for sale on mp3 there, in case anyone is looking for this on mp3.
