OT: Debbie Harry - Rush Rush

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Titled inconsistently on releases as "Rush Rush" or "Rush, Rush", this Giorgio Moroder bubbler from the 1983 Scarface soundtrack has several versions:

• 45 version - 3:34 based on the transfer by "CM", possibly truncated
• soundtrack LP version - "3:36" stated on labels of US vinyl LP - on the 2001 EU CD it is mastered with clicks and a dropout in the 1st bar
• 2022 expanded soundtrack "Album Version" - 3:37 - album version with extra reverb

The opening bar of the 45 version differs from the album version. I believe the album version contains an edit to replace a low percussive synth note (after the 3rd kick) with a corresponding section from the third bar, resulting in two high notes in the first bar—one during beat 3 and one during beat 4—rather than just the one during beat 4. Therefore, I don't think the 45 version has ever been released on CD/digital.

Remixes:

• Extended Version - 4:45 based on Once More Into The Bleach CD mastering
• Dub Mix aka Extended Dub Version - 4:39 based on DjPaulT's 2021 transfer of the US 12" B-side
• Dub Version - "3:25" or "3:26" stated on labels of EU 45 B-side - I have not heard this yet
• 2003 US soundtrack CD remix - 3:37 - all tracks on this CD are new remixes

The soundtrack albums always credit "Deborah Harry" whereas the singles say "Debbie Harry".

	Thanks for this valuable info, mjb. This song is on my radar as it was a top 40 hit in my country. I'd never noticed the difference in the introduction up until now. I'm going to check every copy of this song in my CD collection to determine which version they feature.
