Even though it didn't hit the top 40, I did pick up a promo 45 for "Why Me" from Planet P. LP version on one side and a
Edit/Remix on the other. Edit/Remix is listed as 3:29, but runs 3:16. |

Bumping this up for NightAire, since I knew we'd discussed Tony Carey & Planet P here before...

Yes. The CD version is the original single version, which ran about 3:51. (Hit #95 in Nov 1985) This is the version that was a huge hit in Europe. The single remix is labeled on the 45 as "Special New Mix", but has the same catalog number as the original 45. (The remix hit #66 in May 1986). The remix ran about 4:20, and is still absent from CD release, as far as I know. |

80smusicfreak, thanks for the heads' up; I had missed it!
eriejwg, what kind of condition was the single in? I'm still looking for a (likely never available) digital copy or a clean vinyl copy... |

Gene, I'll send you a dub from my copy, which hadn't been previously played. |

EXCEPTIONAL!!! It's a PERFECT copy, and I can now confirm this can NOT be re-created from the album version; it's a clean, dry, drums start. ("tuh-tah-tuh!", then the synths are brought in with the down-beat.)
Fascinating how you can't remember what was different when you heard a song on the radio... but when you hear the "real" radio version, there's this "ah-ha!" moment that reminds you "THIS is how it sounded." :) THANK YOU. This community is just... amazing. |

The 12" remix of Chain Reaction is on the CD "Best Club Anthems 80s Classics", so perhaps it can be edited down into the radio mix. Unfortunately, as I state in my review on amazon, they did something really odd to the intro of the song...added a sort of flange effect, which makes me think they may have mastered it from vinyl and were trying to hide a flaw in the quality of the record they used...

Probably should have chimed in earlier regarding "Why Me"... It's not just the intro that's different. The whole mix is a little different. There isn't one particular element that stands out, but the mix is just "punched up" a bit for the 45. I tend to focus on drums in the mix, and they sound a little bit different on the 45. |
