All Important Single Edits On CD

As I have seen on the reissues thread I thought it might be good to have a stand alone section that features those all important 7" single mixes and on what CDs they can be found.
For a start I know HITS 9 is the only CD that features the 7" mix of Proclaimers Sunshine On Leith.
Also for anyone interested the new 5CD set 80s Anthems has a rather poor 4 minute edit of Frankies Power Of Love.

Great idea for a thread!

HITS6 is the only place for Madonna's La Isla Bonita 7" edit
HITS8 is the only place for Bros' I Owe You Nothing [1988 single remix]
32 #1s On 1 is one of the few places to find the UK 7" mix of Madonna's True Blue
 
Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Two Tribes original 7" - Bang! The Greatest Hits (1993). The 4:25 7" mix of Welcome To The Pleasuredome is on the 1994 maxi-CD single, but not (to my knowledge) on any of the other Frankie compilations. There is an even shorter edit on 80s Anthems 2, and an "Escape Act Video Mix" running 5:11 on Twelve Inches.

New Order - Thieves Like Us 7" edit took 20 years to turn up on CD when "Singles" was issued in 2005.
New Order - True Faith has a 4:13 edit of the 1987 version on Total: From Joy Division To New Order, whereas every other CD has the 5:55 mix or the '94 mix.

Tears For Fears - Mothers Talk and Shout proper 7" edits are on the deluxe of Songs From The Big Chair. A new budget compilation just out apparently has a 7" mix of Sowing The Seeds, at 5:45 compared to 6.30 usually. If you want the 7" of Head Over Heels without the clumsy segue in and out of the track, again you need that Big Chair deluxe.

George Michael's I want Your Sex 7" version is on HITS6 (yes that again) and also Beverly Hills Cop II Soundtrack.

Swing Out Sister's infamous 7" mix of Twilight World exists only on a couple of now-obscure and expensive Best Ofs, the 1996 one with the duo under an umbrella being the most available of them.

David Bowie's Loving the Alien is in its 7" form on the 2CD Best Of Bowie, but not on his other compilations, or the Tonight album.

For some reason, Love Like Blood by Killing Joke always turns up in its epic 6-minute version, except on More Greatest Hits Of The 80s, where we get the 7" edit.

If you want the short version of How Soon Is Now? by the Smiths, it's on The Smiths Singles boxset, with each release replicated in shiny card sleeves. But it's not on the How Soon...disc, it's on William It Was Really Nothing!

I am going to spend way too much time here.....

I don't own any of the Bros CD singles, but I'm sure the 7" of I Owe You Nothing is on the European CD singles released. On Discogs, the UK CD - CDATOM4 - says it's produced by Nicky Graham and remixed by Bob Cadway and Ric Wake, whereas the album mix and original 7" - ATOM1 - is just produced by Nicky Graham.

Apparently it's also on the Japanese 'Push' album...
 
I think this is the only CD to have the 7" of Like A Prayer. The 7" version of Madonna's True Blue is on this rare promo album too:

http://www.discogs.com/Various-Simply-The-Best-Of-Warner-Music-UK/release/926166

It really is nuts that in this day and digital age you can't easily buy the 7" radio edits of someone of Madonna's stature. It annoys me that she doesn't give a shit about her back catalogue and is happy just to keep touring increasingly sub-standard new material. A Madonna boxset (or reissued deluxe albums) is long overdue but I don't even know if it will happen in her lifetime.
 
Does anyone know if any compilation has ever had the short radio edit of Human League's Tell Me When? i.e. where it goes straight to the "if only, if only" bit without that annoying bit where it goes silent.

D'oh... I'd not even thought about trying to track down the promo on Discogs. Thanks!

It's one of those oddities where the "7" Edit" [4:42] isn't the same as the "Radio Edit" [4:12] and is in fact just the "Album Version". It's not on any compilations, by various artists or Human League, so it's literally only on this UK promo.

EDIT; I take that back - the Octopus version is actually 4:52!

This thread is made for anfunny!

Belfast Child 7" is only on the latest Simple Minds best-of, Celebrate. It's about a minute shorter. Everything else, even the original CD-single, has the 6.42 version.

The 7" Edit can just die I hate how it stops and starts.

Radio 1 seemed to play quite a few different edits of songs in that era. They had an alternative version of Rednex's Cotton Eye Joe where the instrumental bits sounded different and there was a cow mooing over it. I looked on so many compilations for that version and I eventually found it on Dance Mania 95 Vol 1 I think.

I love trekking down slightly different edits of songs. It really freshens them up for me. "TV edits" I like too - where they end properly rather than fading e.g. Wet Wet Wet "Love Is All Around", Girls Aloud "Wake Me Up".. I'm still looking for Cyndi Lauper's "Hey Now" video version where it ends with an acapella.

Hmm I probably need to get a life!

Mmm that was an annoying one until I found someone post their own version of "Celebration" GH with all the 7" radio edits which was rather marvellous.

I may have to purchase this

^ And send one of those to Cherry Pop/Red! How they can issue a 3CD Bros deluxe of Push and omit all the 7" mixes is beyond me.

Speaking of the League, the 7" of Love Is All That Matters turned up on NOW13 but I'm not sure if it's anywhere else. I have a feeling it might be on their first, 1988, Greatest Hits, but that seemed a bit of a fudged fade-out. I offloaded the CD years ago when I upgraded to the Very Best Of, so I can't check.

Not always a good thing. I seem to remember the original Lucky Star and Holiday UK 7" edits were poorly edited. I did my own edit of Lucky Star and Live To Tell for a Madonna compilation I put together a while ago and they turned out pretty well.

It's on the CD single, too. And yes, the original Greatest Hits CD has the same version - I couldn't offload my copy as it's the original picture disc version and it's too nice. Well, in fact, I don't ever offload anything unless it's a straight duplicate I don't need.

For anyone that's interested I've noticed a 3min 57sec edit of Tears For Fears Sowing The Seeds Of Love from the usual digital outlets on Music For The Millennium 3.

Also as far as Human League Love Is All That Matters goes the shortest edit I can find is 4mins 6secs. Is there a shorter edit that that?. I can also add as far as 7" mixes go the new HL All The Best also has the correct edits of Soundtrack To A Generation, Love Action and Sound Of the Crowd among others. I know that the video for LIATM runs to only 3mins but I have never been able to find a digital version of that length.

Hey Now has the same ending on Twelve Deadly Cyns as the video surely? Never noticed any difference.

The 7" Version of Like A Prayer is available elsewhere I'm pretty sure we discussed this the other month. There is an album edit on one of the Japanese CD singles and the actual 7" (with more prominent guitar throughout) is on another one of the CD singles I think. I get confused because everything is just on my hard-drive these days.....

I also have the US promo CD single now which I think has yet another edit.

There are so many edits of the first 2 singles from Like A Prayer I could listen to them all day long....

The single edits of La Isla and True Blue are only on the 2 albums Eric mentioned though as far as I know.

IF ANYONE CAN FIND A CD WITH THE SINGLE REMIX OF OPEN YOUR HEART ON IT I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER.
