"Kiss And Say Goodbye" - Manhattans

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

   Some of you may already know this.  Back in 1976, the Manhattans re-recorded the spoken word intro to "Kiss And Say Goodbye" after the song became a hit (one of the first platinum 45s).  This new version with the re-recorded intro is the longer LP version with the cold ending and is extremely rare as it seems only a few hundred copies were ever pressed.  This promo only mono single was on a white Columbia label (AS263) and is on you tube in case you want to listen to it.  I'm sure a few disc jockeys had a chuckle when they first heard this one (but I bet they never played it on the air).

	Heh... I've actually heard this version played several times here on Q-105, although they insert sound effects where appropriate in the intro. Has this one ever made it to CD?

	I don't think it's on CD yet (probably never will).

	I don't see what they couldn't put it on a CD. It's not really X-rated, and it's funny.
