This one surprised me too. I noted it in my assembly. Just honestly surprised that it was E on the 45. ]]> Fri, 30 Jan 2026 21:45:12 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5004&PID=67729&title=barry-manilow-foul-play-soundtrack#67729 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5004&PID=66643&title=barry-manilow-foul-play-soundtrack#66643 Author: EdisonLite

Oh also, I'm curious to people's thoughts - as far as the nearly mono 45 of "Ready to Take a Chance Again" in 1978 - as to whether this was an oversight/mistake or done intentionally.]]> Mon, 12 May 2025 15:39:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5004&PID=66643&title=barry-manilow-foul-play-soundtrack#66643 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5004&PID=66642&title=barry-manilow-foul-play-soundtrack#66642 Author: EdisonLite

I guess "E" can stand for any kind of electronic manipulation. When looking at "ready to take a chance again" in the database, I was surprised to see all the E entries as I always thought it was mono. But here, unlike many "E" tracks where one channel is shifted slightly to give the effect of stereo, the E manipulation is simply a mono version with stereo reverb added to it. Unless I'm misunderstanding what is posted earlier in this post.

Also, I noticed in the database, one Barry Manilow song (Copacabana) was a re-recording on the CD "Songs in the Key of Red". I'm surprised. I've never known him to re-record any of his songs years later. Kind of a cheap thing to do, and he is REALLY particular about what gets released on CD. He, and not Arista/Sony/BMG, has total say on what recordings of his get released on what.

Anyone tried doing a sync of the mono and stereo versions of "Ready To Take A Chance Again" to get the harp that appears on the hit 45 on to the stereo version?]]> Fri, 19 Jun 2020 08:52:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5004&PID=54768&title=barry-manilow-foul-play-soundtrack#54768 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5004&PID=23635&title=barry-manilow-foul-play-soundtrack#23635 Author: EdisonLite

I bought the Foul Play soundtrack CD a while ago, and meant to report here. It does contain the correct version of "Ready To Take a Chance Again" - in STEREO. S this is the first domestic CD to have this version. Only one foreign CD has this version, as far as I can tell. I will compare the two and see just how the quality is on the Foul Play CD.]]> Fri, 04 Sep 2009 18:26:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5004&PID=23635&title=barry-manilow-foul-play-soundtrack#23635 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5004&PID=22682&title=barry-manilow-foul-play-soundtrack#22682 Author: sriv94

That's a good question. Other than the 2 Barry songs, are there other pop songs on there? I've never owned the soundtrack, so I don't know off the top of my head, but I'll certainly know when the CD arrives.]]> Mon, 22 Jun 2009 23:10:23 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5004&PID=22680&title=barry-manilow-foul-play-soundtrack#22680 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5004&PID=22677&title=barry-manilow-foul-play-soundtrack#22677 Author: Roscoe

As for all your other suggestions, I don't think Intrada will even touch those, as I had called on Friday to suggest releasing soundtracks of "Voices" and "Sixteen Candles" and they said they won't release soundtracks that have mostly pop songs. They only release soundtrack albums that are virtually all score music, and if a pop song or two is on there, then OK. So soundtracks that are collections of pop songs - they have no interest in making money in THAT market!

Unfortunately, the Teachers soundtrack is out of print and now commands quite high prices in the used market.

Don't understand their strategy...isn't Foul Play largely composed of pop songs?!]]> Mon, 22 Jun 2009 19:25:00 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5004&PID=22677&title=barry-manilow-foul-play-soundtrack#22677 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5004&PID=22665&title=barry-manilow-foul-play-soundtrack#22665 Author: EdisonLite
