Hey all,
Does anyone know if the 12" version of The Finer Things (runs about 8:25) has ever appeared on any sort of import CD singles--perhaps as a 'b-side' track on a single for another song of his? |

| Was it a promo because I collect such things and don't see a 12" in The Great Rock Discography? |

| The 12" of Finer Things may have been a promo (I don't see a listing for it on discogs at all), but the 12" mix was also the b-side of a couple of European 12" releases of Valerie. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Valerie was released as a CD single. |

| actually, I may have found the CD single of that Valerie 12". It doesn't have a time listing, but the track list is the same, so hopefully it is the 12" mix of The Finer Things on the CD single as well. |

Well, you're both right, so here are some YouTube videos to reveal the answers: This guy shows off and plays the stock 12" single with a "Finer..." remix. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07iHasfdyZ8&feature=fvw And this fellow has a white-label 12" promo which is the 7" version. Sounds like the wow and flutter I always heard on the 45-rpm disc was transferrable to this 12" too, so it must've been on the master tape. But I still wish I had this pressing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZRIsrPQT-Q ------------- Cheers, Jody Thornton (Burlington, Ontario) |
