Arista was listed on Page 1.
Would Bell be included (since most of Bell's artists were absorbed into Arista)? |

Good question. I have noticed that Tony Orlando & Dawn hits have shown up on quite a few Sony comps, so maybe Sony does own the Bell catalog. If that's the case, then I would add "Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Ole Oak Tree" to the wish list. The keyboard lick is brought out much more prominently in the mono 45 mix, making for a more effective instrumental hook. Only the stereo mix has appeared on CD. |

Remember, BMG owns the bell Catalog. When Sony and BMG
merged, they all fell under the same umbrella. That's why you see Bell artists on the legacy label now. That's why Vic Anecini was able to do the Partridge family and Barry Manilow sets. Manilow started out as a Bell artist. |

BMG must've found a rarity recently since they included a
stereo version of the Partridge Family's remake of "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" on the Playlist CD a few weeks ago. |

wow, that's great news. I didn't even know this. I'll have to get the CD for this. Is it basically the same version (vocals, instrumentation) but in stereo?

Though the Sony Digital Singles project I've been working on is not coming out yet, it is getting closer, and in the meantime, my Sony contact did manage to get two of the 12 inches and one 7 inch single released on this digital/itunes album - "21 Totally '80s Hits":
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/21-totally-80s-hits/id8268 33636 It includes: Toy Soldiers - Martika (correct 7" remix) We Built This City - Starship (12" mix) Break My Stride - Matthew Wilder (12" mix) Every US CD containing "Toy Soldiers" has never used the correct, full-length 7" remix. This is the first time it's available digitally in the US. And the two 12" mixes have only been released on vinyl, up until now. BTW, for those people who are curious, these are the other singles we're hoping to release (however, every song has to get approved by a whole team of Sony people it seems, so I can't promise that any of these will see the light of day but hopefully most will): 7" mixes: Keeping the Faith - B Joel Sometimes a Fantasy - B Joel Movin' Out - B Joel The Entertainer - B Joel Piano Man - B Joel Every Little Kiss - B Hornsby Mandolin Rain - B Hornsby Look Out Any Window - B Hornsby Thinking of You - Loggins & Messina Sweet Surrender - John Denver Second Avenue - Art Garfunkel Every Woman in the World - Air Supply So Close - Diana Ross Tragedy - John Hunter Oh Julie - Barry Manilow I've Got a Feeling - Al Wilson Don't Cry Out Loud - Melissa Manchester (from the no-glitch 7" master tape) plus a half a dozen other singles that peaked below the top 40! (including Mac Davis, Dolly Parton, Lou Rawls, Bertie Higgins, etc.) 12" mixes (besides the 2 that just came out): Keeping the Faith - B Joel (the true 12" mix, not the alts that have shown up on boxed sets) +3 Bruce Springsteen 12" mixes from the "born in the usa" album Wish I had known about (or thought to include) the 12" mix of Daryl Hall's "Dreamtime" Edited by EdisonLite |

Curiously, what's the difference? My promo 45 has the album version on one side and the single version on the other. Both have listed times of 4:52. I've never noticed a difference...what should I be listening for? |

To Hykker:
The difference is the single version is mixed by Humberto Gatica. He is an outstanding mix engineer (just ask David Foster). Comparing the two, there are multiple subtle differences, such as more reverb on the single & a few echoed vocals. Andy |
