Does anyone know the best sounding dj 45 version of this song? I have it on
the Madacy's Rock On 1984 CD and the sound quality is pretty bad.

You're right about the Rock On copy sounding bad. The high frequencies are rolled off on "Hold Me Now."

I have the promo 45 length on Silver Eagle's After Hours where it sounds fine, although the volume is a little lower than other discs. It runs 4:14 on this disc. I also have it on Razor & Tie's Back To The '80s, where it runs 4:15. The volume levels are more normal on this CD, but it's likely very hard to find. The other discs I have it on run a few seconds shorter, between 4:10 and 4:12.

In my digital library, I used Rhino's Billboard Top Hits 1984 and made the early fade myself.

Listening to it right now in one of our local stations and the song doesn't
sound that good either.

bumping this one back up. Can someone provide the exact
fade point from start to finish to recreate the promo 7"
Edit? From what I understand it times out to about 4:15
and not 3:58 per the label.
