I see, maybe the quite different EQ'ing between versions
misled my ears. ]]> Thu, 12 Dec 2024 14:29:47 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7656&PID=65513&title=crazy-icehouse#65513 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7656&PID=65507&title=crazy-icehouse#65507 Author: 995wlol

Yes, all US CDs had the extra tracks from the beginning
(even the advance promo).]]> Thu, 05 Dec 2024 13:34:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7656&PID=65507&title=crazy-icehouse#65507 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7656&PID=65506&title=crazy-icehouse#65506 Author: mjb50

What pressing are you using? I don't see how those tracks
could be lossy since the only US CD is the original
pressing from 1987 that was produced only into the early
90s.

Hmm. I am relying on a mono rip YouTube and the aforementioned Man Of Colours CD with multiple versions of the song on it, and I'm not hearing any difference in the guitar.

I don't believe the 45 version can be recreated editing the
LP version. As far as I can tell, the single version is
slightly remixed, e.g. the electric guitar is pushed
forward in the 45 version.]]> Sun, 01 Dec 2024 09:02:21 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7656&PID=65496&title=crazy-icehouse#65496 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7656&PID=45137&title=crazy-icehouse#45137 Author: Plastic Steel

Yes, the LP version can be edited down to create the 45 version. It's just one easy edit: remove the section starting at 2:08.7 and ending at 3:33.8 (right at the beginning of a sustained "craaaaaaazyyyy" belted out by Iva Davies).]]> Wed, 02 Mar 2016 19:23:54 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7656&PID=45137&title=crazy-icehouse#45137 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7656&PID=45081&title=crazy-icehouse#45081 Author: crapfromthepast

I'm pretty sure the 45 version is just an edit of the LP version, but I haven't checked.

The 45 version of "Crazy" turns up on the Chrysalis sampler Audio Buffet 2 (1987), and on a very obscure Canadian compilation from Quality Records called This Is Music 4 (1988).

My '80s-era pressing of Man Of Colours (1987) has the 4:49 LP version, the 7:21 12 Inch Mix, and the 4:49 Midnight Mix.]]> Sun, 28 Feb 2016 00:44:51 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7656&PID=45081&title=crazy-icehouse#45081 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7656&PID=45079&title=crazy-icehouse#45079 Author: eriejwg

Bought the 2 songs and they match what Ron said about
Electric Blue to determine the difference between the 45
mix and LP version. Crazy runs 3:22, which obviously
would be the 45 version.]]> Sat, 27 Feb 2016 15:30:05 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7656&PID=45079&title=crazy-icehouse#45079 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7656&PID=45078&title=crazy-icehouse#45078 Author: eriejwg

iTunes has a collection from Icehouse called "White Heat
- 30 Hits" which is not listed in the database.

"Crazy" is listed as being 3:24 and "Electric Blue" is
listed as 4:25.

Does anyone know if Crazy is the 45 version and Electric
Blue is the 45 mix on this collection?]]> Sat, 27 Feb 2016 14:42:54 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7656&PID=45078&title=crazy-icehouse#45078
