Since we're on the subject of the "Desert Storm" mix of "Show Me The Way", I was wondering if anyone here was working in radio in the Philly area at the time this version came out (early 1991). I seem to remember one of the Top 40 stations (I believe it was Eagle 106.1) that also played similar versions of George Michael's "Mother's Pride" and Oleta Adams' "Get Here", with talking inserted from soldiers and their relatives or friends. I do remember them playing the Styx song in the Desert Storm Mix, but I was just wondering if anyone else remembers the other two versions. I don't know if they were ever on any TM Discs and I couldn't find anything on them on YouTube. ]]> Mon, 23 Mar 2020 13:09:56 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5735&PID=53798&title=styx-show-me-the-way#53798 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5735&PID=50544&title=styx-show-me-the-way#50544 Author: aaronk

I likely have the original HitDisc that it appeared on. It's possible that TM Century's HitDisc was the only widely distributed disc. I highly doubt A&M ever pressed it up on promo CD.]]> Sun, 11 Nov 2018 23:00:19 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5735&PID=50544&title=styx-show-me-the-way#50544 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5735&PID=50537&title=styx-show-me-the-way#50537 Author: PopArchivist

Thanks for the video link but I need a copy from a CD or lossless source. Youtube quality is compressed and lossy.

Here it is.

Can anyone provide edit points to create the 4:07 "Edit Version" from the longer commercial 45 version, please?

Thanks in advance.

As the Gulf War was starting (and ending, lol) at about this time, I remember a version of this on the radio that contained clips from soldiers (I think) saying hello to family at home, maybe kids talking about love or peace or something...

...Anyway, I was just wondering if this was an "official" release from the label or if it was a radio industry remix that got passed from station to station.

Either way, does anybody know if a copy is floating around anywhere to day? It was quite moving at that moment in time...]]> Fri, 06 Aug 2010 22:35:44 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5735&PID=27364&title=styx-show-me-the-way#27364 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5735&PID=27347&title=styx-show-me-the-way#27347 Author: aaronk

Jim, thanks for sending over the cuts for analysis. My TM copy runs shorter than yours, because they have lopped off the first 2 seconds. They did this often on songs that have a fade-in intro, most likely in attempt to make on-air playback sound tighter.

In comparing the Edit and A/C versions, there is a noticeable mix difference on the A/C Mix. Starting at 1:53, they have brought the keyboards louder in the mix and lowered the electric guitars. Other than that, the two versions are the same.]]> Wed, 04 Aug 2010 21:09:24 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5735&PID=27347&title=styx-show-me-the-way#27347
