Will do. I'm pretty sure TM used the Rhino Top Hits disc as their source, but it's been several years since I compared my GoldDisc to the Rhino version.

A friend sent me his vinyl dub a few years ago. It sounds pretty good, better than my own copy would have back then (my copy got pretty worn, and cue burned.)

For those who are wanting to compare versions, there is a clip on
YouTube of S.O.S. Band doing a lip sync of this song on Soul Train. I believe it's the 45 version which is used and it's fairly decent sound quality. |

Edsel in the UK is releasing a Deluxe Epanded Edition of
S.O.S. Band's debut album in early April. No track listing to be found yet, but let's keep our fingers crossed that it will have the US single version of "Take Your Time (Do It Right)." But I'm not really getting my hopes up. |

I checked my single. It is the 3:15 version and it's the version I remember on the radio from the summer of 1980. I remember some borderline Buffalo, NY stations playing the 3:15 version though, so I'm not sure I remember the US "Hit" version (not even from syndicated countdown shows like Casey's or Dick Clark's) |

Brian was just able to download a digital-only release of the US single
version, which has been made available overseas. Don't get too excited, though. We have both determined it is a vinyl dub, and frankly, it's not even as good as the one I've personally done. It's also not available in lossless on the overseas download site. It appears that this will be the same version (vinyl dub) on the upcoming expanded CD that Brian mentions above. Since the earlier posts are confusing about which mix is which, here is what I've been able to conclude: - US single version runs 3:51 and is a UNIQUE MIX not found anywhere else except the US 45 - The "long version" (probably the same on both the LP and 12" but I cannot confirm) has the additional "let's do it" chant on the intro and is mixed differently than the US 45 - The 3:30 version on Billboard Top Hits 1980 is a different mix from both the US 45 and long version, as it is missing the "let's do it" chant, but it is also missing some additional percussion found on the 45 and long versions. - The 3:14 version on Greatest Hits is also missing the additional percussion and might be the same mix as the Billboard disc (I haven't confirmed this), just shorter.

Well that's a drag. I guess the U.S. single master must truly be lost or majorly misfiled somewhere. Given the ever-dwindling market for CD reissues like this, I suspect that this release was probably the last chance for a good-sounding CD release of the 45 version. I'm not surprised that their needledrop doesn't sound very good. I had several pressings of this 45, all with vinyl distortion or surface noise. I finally acquired a 12 inch single with the 45 version and it sounds quite nice. |

If the 45 version is a bonus track on the upcoming "S.O.S." CD, it must be the same version that is available on the new single download. A missing tape is the most likely explanation for this, as well as for all previous CD appearances being a different version.
Anyone own the U.S. or British 12-inch? There is a (listed) 4:10 version on there called "Short Version." It's not impossible that that could be a longer versoin of the 45 version. It's also not impossible that it could show up on one of the Tabu reissues, either on the "S.O.S." CD or the boxed set later in the year. |
