Quote So, is the A-side version on the US cassette single the Single Edit that aaronk describes in the post just above this one, putting it right around 3:57 or so?

I think most, if not all, of Roxette’s US cassette singles had no track lengths printed on them, so it makes it difficult to determine without asking folks who might own the cassette single to just listen and time it and let us know. Thanks!


I have the US Cassette Single and timed it. I got a running time of 3:56. ]]> Mon, 23 Mar 2026 16:44:25 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3039&PID=67969&title=roxette-joyride#67969 <![CDATA[Roxette - Joyride : Since Roxette’s “Listen To Your...]]> https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3039&PID=67967&title=roxette-joyride#67967 Author: sheardbeard

Since Roxette’s “Listen To Your Heart” post has made a resurgence here, it made me wonder if there was ever a definitive answer in regards to the length/version of the A-side of the US commercial cassette single of their song “Joyride”. I know side B has two tracks: B1. “Come Back (Before You Leave)” and B2. “Joyride (Single Re-mix)”. 

I believe we’ve determined that the Single Re-mix (cassette single track B2) has the “Walk This Way” drum track overlaying the regular track. I think this same version may also be synonymously referred to as the “Brian Malouf US Single Mix” (am I correct here?)

I agree with Andy. I only recall hearing my local station play the Single Re-Mix. As he mentions, there is a layered drum sample of "Walk This Way" on top of the other drum machine.

The Single Edit is the same basic mix as the LP version, but the opening and closing sound effects have been removed from the mix, and part of the instrumental segment has been edited. The edit is quite obvious and is heard at 2:44 of the Single Edit.]]> Fri, 18 Sep 2020 09:35:06 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3039&PID=55867&title=roxette-joyride#55867 <![CDATA[Roxette - Joyride : Yes, the Single Re-Mix (with the...]]> https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3039&PID=55863&title=roxette-joyride#55863 Author: AndrewChouffi

Yes, the Single Re-Mix (with the Aerosmith drum sample)
was the only version I heard on the radio at the time of
hit status.

In the 12 years since my original post, I've never revisited "Joyride".

Almost thirty years after the song was a hit, I still can't pin down what the "hit" version was. I heard (and played) several different versions on the air back then.

I have five different versions in my library. I'm content to just label them accurately and call it good.


That's no help when I'm doing my assembly!

The British single version of this is an edit of the LP version, but with no crowd noises over the fade-out whistling. If you're not fussy about 4 seconds of crowd sounds at the end, then here are instructions for the edit:

The LP version runs 4:23 and is readily available on lots of compilations, such as:
  • Living In The 90s (Razor & Tie, 1995)
  • Hot No. 1 Hits! (Realm, 1992; digitally exactly 2.66 dB quieter than Living In The 90s)
  • Big Hits '91 (PolyTel Canada, 1991; digitally exactly 0.3 dB louder than Living In The 90s)
  • Hot Hits Vol. 5 (digitally exactly 0.88 dB quieter than Living In The 90s)
The sounds quality is essentially the same on all of the above CDs. For timing, I choose to use Living In The 90s:

Remove the "get your tickets here" talking from 0:00.0-0:13.5.
Edit at beginning of sung "Hello".
Keep 0:13.5-2:58.0 of LP version.
Edit on downbeat.
Remove 16 beats from 2:58.0-3:07.3.
Keep 3:07.3-4:25.1 (end) of LP version.

Your mixdown will run 4:00 and will have an edit at 2:44.

I found the British single version, which has no carnival sounds at all, on the following CDs, where it runs 3:57:
  • Now 1991 (Virgin EMI PolyGram UK, 1993)
  • Now 20 (Virgin EMI Polygram UK, 1991)
Once again, jimct, do you have US promo CD single info? There was no US 45 for me to buy to figure out what the "hit" version was.

(Edit - I remember hearing a remix on the radio that used the drum line from Aerosmith's "walk This Way". Is that on the CD single as well?)


Ron can you circle back to this and let us know about the US side and what appears where?
