I don't know, but my theory is that they wanted to mirror the buildup of the album, which starts with Dance On Your Knees - which is a hype song, basically.

As Aaron mentions, the video mix was released on vinyl. But my question is why didn't they issue a single-length edit of the 12"? The extra drums and Fairlight synths really make the 12" fly, and would have benefitted the single version, which sounds dry by comparison. For my money anyway:)]]> Thu, 08 Sep 2022 20:53:06 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4063&PID=61770&title=out-of-touch-hall-oates#61770 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4063&PID=61766&title=out-of-touch-hall-oates#61766 Author: AutumnAarilyn

Labels do it to get a hit! If the market for pop music
changes its sound, the label wants to put their song in the
best light. Album versions though typically don't sound as
dated.]]> Thu, 08 Sep 2022 16:54:01 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4063&PID=61766&title=out-of-touch-hall-oates#61766 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4063&PID=61763&title=out-of-touch-hall-oates#61763 Author: aaronk

Although I don't know why they used the remix, technically, the "Video Mix" was issued on a UK 12", so if your local store carried imports, you might have been able to buy it.

The video mix of "Say It Isn't So" is an edited version of the version on the commercially released 12" single, so you could buy the mix but not the edited version.

The video mix of "Everything Your Heart Desires," as far as I know, wasn't available anywhere (not even on a promo) until the box set came out in 2009. I haven't done a close A/B comparison, but I think it's a unique mix that doesn't match any of the other mixes released.]]> Thu, 08 Sep 2022 14:31:04 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4063&PID=61763&title=out-of-touch-hall-oates#61763 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4063&PID=61760&title=out-of-touch-hall-oates#61760 Author: Scanner

The fade on the 45 version starts at about 3:40. It has
completely faded out about 3:56.5 (after the word "time").

The "longer than 45 version" starts fading out about
3:47 (on the word "time") and runs to about 4:06.

The Out of Touch version on Grand Theft Auto Greatest Hits seems not to have
the drag and it runs 3:53. I was able to find it on Spotify. Too bad it's not
available on iTunes or Amazon Prime.

I think the rule-of-thumb answer is that the 45 versions that run about 3:55 on CD all have tape drag at the end. I can confirm that there's tape drag on Time-Life's Sounds Of The Eighties Vol. 6 1984 (1994), and on the following discs that all use the same analog transfer as the Time-Life disc:

• Cema's Greatest Hits Of The 80's Vol. 5 Power Ballads (1994)
• Priority's I Love Rock And Roll Vol. 4 Hits Of The 80's (1996) - differently-EQ'd digital clone
• EMI's Rock 'N Roll Relix 1984-1985 (1998) - differently-EQ'd digital clone

Columbia's Music For The Miracle (1986) runs 3:55, and lacks the tape drag, but has a weird soundstage - avoid this and all of the above.

The longer-than 45 versions, running around 4:10, all lack the tape drag. Any one of these will sound better than the 3:55 version.

Was anybody able to find a 45 that was the correct speed and did not drag
towards the end of it? ]]> Thu, 08 Nov 2018 17:13:45 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4063&PID=50524&title=out-of-touch-hall-oates#50524 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4063&PID=27951&title=out-of-touch-hall-oates#27951 Author: abagon

"Out Of Touch" on the "Whole Lotta.....Rock 1984-85" U.S. CD is the 45 version, but it has a slower speed and a shorter length (3:52) than the U.S. commercial 45. The intro of the CD & the 45 is the same. The 45's the actual running time & the listed time which I have are "3:55" together. (RCA PB-13916)
