Hi Folks:
Was there ever a record of this song without the siren from 1:59 - 2:04? I had heard what I believed was a custom edit in 1981, though it would seem to be a complex signal removal for 1981, being analog tape and all.
Just wonder if such a promo ever existed. This version sounded a bit reverberated and had a much longer fade like the LP vesrion.

Jody, at least the initial copies of the http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh240/YahShure/Rovers-WasntThatAPartyClevelandIntl-EpicDJ.jpg - U.S. DJ 45 on Cleveland International/Epic included the siren on both sides. (Deadwax on my stereo/stereo Terre Haute styrene promo copy are ZSS-167893-1A and ZSS-167893-1B.)
I moved to Oklahoma while this record was on the charts, and the station I went to work for had originally been serviced with the Canadian http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh240/YahShure/Rovers-WasntThatAPartyAttic.jpg - Attic stock copy and stuck with it. Sonically, the Attic 45 blows the U.S. issue out of the water. It has a really nice low-end percussive punch that was rolled off of the flatter-sounding Cleveland International/Epic single.
I'd guess it was a custom version that you'd heard.

Yes I have the Attic stock 45 from when I was a young boy. It does have a very punchy sound. I never knew that "...Party" was even a single state-side. I just thought the nearby Buffalo, NY station played it as a courtesy to cross-border listeners.
By the way, as a quick aside while speaking of Attic pressings - if you're a hi-fi nut at all, I find Hagood Hardy's "Homecoming" LP to be an excellent pressing. Track down a good copy and listen to "Quorum" on a good table.
