The promo CD single (Jive JSCD 9678, copyright 1988) has two tracks:
1 - Single Version, printed 4:43, actual 4:43 2 - Extended Version, printed 8:59, actual 8:59 The version on Billy Ocean's Jive Greatest Hits (1989) is a differently-EQ'd digital clone of the Single Version from the promo CD single, and is far less expensive nowadays. This is a well-chosen and excellent-sounding disc overall, and I highly recommend it. The same analog transfer as GH is used on:
There are a few that fade before the final words:
My recommendation: If you want the song on a single-artist disc, most definitely go with Jive's Greatest Hits (1989). If you want the song on a compilation, Rhino's Billboard Top Hits 1988 (1994) is likely your least expensive option. Time-Life's Sounds Of The Eighties Vol. 21 1986-1989 (1997) is superb in every way, but likely fairly pricey nowadays. Edited by crapfromthepast |

There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

It's funny... when I first bought this 45 in 1988 for my
bar gigs, I always cued past the car SFX and intro. Maybe TM thought that was a good spot to edit lol. |

Was your bar gig in Dallas TX? lol! I haven't looked for it on a HitDisc or a GoldDisc yet but, Aaron is probably right. I guess the folks at TM Century figured they could make a cut that would do well on an AC station, so they did it. I know that as an event DJ, I did the same thing. I also think at the time this was popular, I was working for a local multi-DJ company who gave us dubs on cassette. I'm guessing here but DRM law would have had a field day with this guy had they known of the way he was outfitting DJs in the area. 20 and sometimes 30 jocks out on a night with cassette dubs from one CD. Good times though! Often groups of us would go out for 1am breakfast after getting done packing in on a Saturday night. |

I just had the opportunity to listen to both AC Edit's, and Aaron is correct! The version from A-List is the earlier version TM Century released on the red font GoldDisc 154R. "R" for
the red font discs. This version sounds like it could have been lifted from vinyl and it matches the intro and length of the UK 45 version. The next AC Edit appeared on an update GoldDisc 154N. "N" for No Noise which was their noise reduction system by Sonic Solutions. This version cuts the intro to :17 and is sourced from the CD counterpart. I should note that noise reduction was used on the red font discs, sometimes even more aggressive, but I can't say for certain if it was the same system. |

To Dave:
To the best of my knowledge the earlier TM Century discs used an analog dynamic noise reduction unit - not sure what brand. Andy |
