Laura Branigan - Spanish Eddie

There's a version of Spanish Eddie by Laura Branigan that
has an intro of a crowd roaring. Is this a special version
or an LP Version on a different pressing?

Thanks cristianmdp. I've wondered about that song. I always
thought it may be an LP version but I listened to the LP
version and it was the same as the 45.

No. Just unofficial (bootlegs), like this one:

Excellent quality, but still vinyl sourced.

The release of an expanded edition of her 1985 album
"Hold Me", through Cherry Pop, has been cancelled because
of most tracks licensing that were intended to be
included on the set were denied by Warner/Atlantic US
(this remix included).

No idea either. I know for a fact (friend working for
Cherry Pop as project manager) that, usually, US-based
acts (meaning those who signed to US labels), are the
hardest to get their material licensed to a UK label like
Cherry Pop. The masters usually are in the US and the
rights are controlled by US-based companies.
I've seen how a lot of previously released material
(remixes for example) were denied to Cherry Pop for
release, no given reason. Just "no". End of story. It
seems it works that way.
The funny thing is that for "Hold Me" they approved a
handful of tracks that are unreleased to this day. Still,
the project is shelved for now because its most important
remixes were denied.
Lucky for us Branifans, we managed to find a true
treasure in a very rare, UK promo, and now we don't need
for a proper release (it was denied anyway - but we have
it now). "One Day", from the movie "Violets are blue". It
was going to be part of the "Hold Me" expanded edition.

Truth is as long as they don't approve the release of its
remixes, I doubt it'll happen. They may skip the album
and try with "Touch". I don't know.

"What a woman wants" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=zwDtE3-teyw) was part of the "Hold Me" album sessions
and it was left out of the album. The final version of it
was included in an early test pressing of "Hold me".
There are a lot of demos she recorded (that we know of),
and tons throughout her career we know about, that didn't
surface yet.
Well between her "Meadow" project and her venues
alongside Cohen as backup singer, she'd live out of
recording demos.

I don't know what's the real issue with her past
recordings not being released. No idea who own the rights
to all that.

Her 1981 album seriously need to be released

It's crazy in my eyes that such amazing vault has not
been properly released. But in the end it all comes down
to licensing issues (and in some very small cases, lost
masters).

Cherry Pop is well known for using remastered vinyl rips
when masters are nowhere to be found (they even state
this in the liner notes ever since buyers started to
realize not all the release's tracks were taken from
master tapes).
