Which would be fine if they had the right release content.
Thanks again :)

You’re welcome! :)

“...IF they had the right release content.” Bingo. How am I supposed to
know if they have the right content when they, themselves, don’t have
the disc to verify?

The British single version of this is an edit of the LP version, but with no crowd noises over the fade-out whistling. If you're not fussy about 4 seconds of crowd sounds at the end, then here are instructions for the edit:

The LP version runs 4:23 and is readily available on lots of compilations, such as:
  • Living In The 90s (Razor & Tie, 1995)
  • Hot No. 1 Hits! (Realm, 1992; digitally exactly 2.66 dB quieter than Living In The 90s)
  • Big Hits '91 (PolyTel Canada, 1991; digitally exactly 0.3 dB louder than Living In The 90s)
  • Hot Hits Vol. 5 (digitally exactly 0.88 dB quieter than Living In The 90s)
The sounds quality is essentially the same on all of the above CDs. For timing, I choose to use Living In The 90s:

Remove the "get your tickets here" talking from 0:00.0-0:13.5.
Edit at beginning of sung "Hello".
Keep 0:13.5-2:58.0 of LP version.
Edit on downbeat.
Remove 16 beats from 2:58.0-3:07.3.
Keep 3:07.3-4:25.1 (end) of LP version.

Your mixdown will run 4:00 and will have an edit at 2:44.

I found the British single version, which has no carnival sounds at all, on the following CDs, where it runs 3:57:
  • Now 1991 (Virgin EMI PolyGram UK, 1993)
  • Now 20 (Virgin EMI Polygram UK, 1991)
Once again, jimct, do you have US promo CD single info? There was no US 45 for me to buy to figure out what the "hit" version was.

(Edit - I remember hearing a remix on the radio that used the drum line from Aerosmith's "walk This Way". Is that on the CD single as well?)


Ron can you circle back to this and let us know about the US side and what appears where? Hopefully you are not too exhausted from your 1970's breakdown on All Right Now!

<throws hands over head and runs screaming for the door>

In the 12 years since my original post, I've never revisited "Joyride".

Almost thirty years after the song was a hit, I still can't pin down what the "hit" version was. I heard (and played) several different versions on the air back then.

I have five different versions in my library. I'm content to just label them accurately and call it good.
There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

That's no help when I'm doing my assembly! Ah when in doubt go with track 1 right?

Yes, the Single Re-Mix (with the Aerosmith drum sample)
was the only version I heard on the radio at the time of
hit status.

I agree with Andy. I only recall hearing my local station play the Single Re-Mix. As he mentions, there is a layered drum sample of "Walk This Way" on top of the other drum machine.

The Single Edit is the same basic mix as the LP version, but the opening and closing sound effects have been removed from the mix, and part of the instrumental segment has been edited. The edit is quite obvious and is heard at 2:44 of the Single Edit.
