I raised the question in another thread about unique edits/mixes that
appeared only on promo 12" singles in the '70s and '80s. Since this board and Pat's database has thoroughly documented just about every promo edit/mix that appeared on 45s, I thought there may be a handful of additional "DJ versions" which were only serviced on 12" singles. From the other thread: Dr. Hook "When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman" (5:12 remix) Nicolette Larson "Lotta Love" (disco remix) Chuck Mangione "Feels So Good" (promo 12" edit) Boney M "Rivers Of Babylon" (7:30 remix / 4:06 remix-edit) Saturday Night Fever "Special Disco Versions" promo EP Kinks "Superman" (3:48 remix-edit) Bob Welch "Precious Love" Pablo Cruise "Whatcha Gonna Do" (4:56 "Special Disco Version") Edited by aaronk |

From another thread:
TomGary, this is exactly why I thought it would be good to bring this up. Thanks for sharing your info about which versions made the WAVZ/KC-101 playlists! |

Sounds like it would be quite a project to sort out the 12" mixes that were only available on promo copies. There was a time, particularly in the early-mid 80s where it seemed almost every song had a unique 12" mix.

Yes, but most of them would have also been available on a commercial 12" single, too, right? Edited by aaronk |

I remember another one:
Kool & The Gang - Let's Go Dancing (Ooh La La La) (ReMix) the commercial 12" contained the 6:39 LP version. This promo came out shortly after, and was remixed in a shorter version (4:48) that removed a verse, and instead contained a synth solo not in the original version, and a chorus breakdown that built up again to the end chorus then faded. Our dance station switched over to this version for airplay. I found the promo 12", but no commercial issue existed to my knowledge. It did make it to CD tho, it was included in one of the "Dance Classics" volumes from Unidisc. MM |

Also, doesn't the 12" promo of John Lennon's "(Just Like) Starting Over have several extra seconds tacked on the end that are available no where else?

Here's another real good one......
Barry White had a White Label promo called "20th Century Presents For Disco DJ's Only" (Special Mix For Disco Play) Barry White's Greatest Hits. Here is the tracklist: Side A 1. Standing in the Shadows of Love (5:20) 2. I`m Gonna Love You Just a Little More, Baby (7:12) 3. Never, Never Gonna Give You Up (7:47) Side B 1. Honey Please Can't You See 2. Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe 3. You're the First, the Last, My Everything 4. What Am I Gonna Do For You I know that "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love" and "You're The First The Last My Everything" are definitely different mixes or different takes. If anyone is interested in hearing this, let me know and I can send over a copy. -Jeff |

I know I've heard an alt vocal version of "You're the First, the Last..." on the radio. I even inquired about here but I don't think I got any answers. I'd be curious to hear the version you have - because I always wondered about this strange version that would sometimes be on the radio, and I never knew where it came from.
