Found it. Thanks.
Why can't iTunes make their searches more comprehensive? |

Just an added bit of info in case it ever comes up: the echo of "babe" at 1:25 is in the left channel only, while the echo at 1:30 of "here by me" is in the right channel.
The 45 version also appears on "Now That's What I Call Music / The Millennium Series / 1984, disc 1." I'd be curious to know if anyone's compared the fidelity between Arena Rock and Now 1984. Now 1984 has some visible hard limiting but it's not truly brick-walled. I don't see any hard limiting on the iTunes version... but is it lossless? |

Itunes downloads are NEVER lossless. They are 256 AAC lossy. |

Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

The version on Now The Millennium Series 1984 (1999) appears to be digitally identical to the UK Billy Idol collection 11 Of The Best (1988), or at least the file I have in my collection that's labeled as such. (I owned Now but not 11.) It seems a little loud for 1988 mastering, but it has a nice dynamic range, no significant clipping, and a decent EQ.
The Rhino disc has a comparable dynamic range, but the EQ seems just a little muffled compared to the 11/Now mastering. I think that Rhino may not have gotten the lowest-generation source tapes for their Billy Idol tracks; "Dancing With Myself" doesn't sound that great on Like Omigod (compared with Eric's Hard To Find 45s On CD Vol. 16 More '80s Essentials And Beyond). |

There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.
