So I am again working on the Hot 100 in 1987 and this song comes up. All great the 45 version is available on numerous compilations, so no issue there. The 45 version runs 3:39.
Now back a few years ago when Aaron recommended picking it up, the Hits 6 Album has a 3:34 of the song, which appears to be an early fade. Generally 1987 comps like these have the correct 45/promo versions. This is consistent with the 45 promo, which has a label time of 3:31. I don't know if it matches the 45 promo, but that is my best guess because the 45 single has a label time. To confuse matters there is a 1986 CD promo (one of the first) which has the song. Since Aaron did not have it we don't know what the time on that is. So if anyone has a 45 dub of the promo and can see if its 3:34, much appreciated. ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |

I'd love to know if there's been any progress on the possible versions of this song.
I always enjoyed this one (although as a "cool" teenager, I could never admit it at the time). The 2004 remaster on "Reflections" sounds very close but not quite the way I remember it sounding on the radio; IF there are any differences, it's only mix differences. The structure, length, instrumentation all sound the same. It's possible the "differences" are simply heavy 1980s multiband FM audio processing, and 35 years since I last heard the song... Anybody have any info on lengths / mixes / etc.? (For my money, she hit it out of the park again a few years later with "Better Not Tell Her.") ------------- Gene Savage http://www.BlackLightRadio.com - http://www.BlackLightRadio.com http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage - http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage Tulsa, Oklahoma USA |

I ended up finding the promo CD single a couple years ago, and it's the same version found on all the other CDs I have it on. The only difference is that the promo is rather dull sounding on the highs. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

You might also be used to hearing the live version from the Martha's Vineyard concert that VH1 aired quite a bit back in the day. Of course, that version also incorporates the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" reprise that was featured on the original album (and in the film "Heartburn"). ------------- https://thelunarlaugh.bandcamp.com/ - Listen to The Lunar Laugh! |
