Wounded Bird does it again--which is not a good thing.,

This review is from: I Wanna Have Some Fun (Audio CD)
When you start playing this album, and you DON'T hear "Hello, it's me again", you know something is wrong. As the other two reviewers noted, you don't get the original album version of the title track on this CD. Why? If the so-called bonus track of the song is so similar to the original album cut, why not re-release the album as it was made, and then put the shorter single version as a bonus track?
I have yet to find any Wounded Bird release that doesn't have some serious problems when compared to the original album.

I Wanna Have Some Fun - Deluxe Edition,
By

This review is from: I Wanna Have Some Fun (Audio CD)
"I Wanna Have Some Fun" was originally released in 1988 and was Samantha Fox's last successful album. It produced 3 hit singles, "Love House", "I Wanna Have Some Fun" and "I Only Wanna Be With You".
The original vinyl LP contained 12 songs kicking off with a 5 minute version of "I Wanna Have Some Fun". The version that appears on this CD is one of the single versions of the song that was released at the time. The extended version that is a bonus on this re-release is identical to the original album version, after the first 10 seconds! "Don't Cheat On Me" was the b-side to "Love House" and it does not date back to 1986 (as the sleeve notes has it)! Nor was it produced by Phil Nicholas. Chris Tsangarides produced the track. This song and "Confession" were the first tracks that Samantha herself had a hand in writing. Another bonus on this re-release is "Now I Lay Me Down". This version sounds much rougher, especially Samantha's vocals, and unpolished than the song that appeared as a bonus track on her fourth album "Just One Night". Interesting. What else could have been included on this re-release? "Givin' Me A Hard Time" was recorded as a b-side song during the sessions for this album. As was "Too Late To Say Goodbye", which was re-recorded and used on Jason Donovan's debut album. These 2 tracks would have been preferable to the extended and remixed versions of the singles that appear here. Samantha Fox's voice on this album is not as good as it was on her previous two efforts and tracks like "Ready For This Love", "Walking on Air" and "Out of our Hands" unfortunately highlight this fact. Some of the material is not suitable for Samantha's range either and a few of the songs could have been shortened by losing repeated (poor) takes of choruses, "Ready For This Love" being the greatest offender. "Hot For You" could have been released as a single too and Samantha herself at the time said this was the sound she wanted to persue on her next album. History tells another story. The follow-up would comprise some Full Force tracks with Samantha guesting (or should that be groaning), probably just a little too much sexual innuendo for some and the record company deciding to pull the plug. "I Wanna Have Some Fun" has some good tracks on it and a variety of musical styles to suit all tastes. Fans of Samantha Fox should pick this up as well as those who like fun, easy listening, 80s music.

With this expanded reissue, you do get only some of the fun,
By

This review is from: I Wanna Have Some Fun (Audio CD)
This truly is a fantastic package from Wounded Bird, and doesn't suffer from the sound quality problems some of their releases do. Samantha's music is as bass heavy and thumping as always. You pretty much get the entire album plus all the full length 12" mixes and b-sides. There's only ONE issue with this disc, and it's really a necessary evil. In order to fit all the songs on this reissue, they had to EDIT the album version of the hugely popular "I Wanna Have Some Fun." Originally 5 minutes on the first release of this album, this edition fades the song very abruptly at 3:55. Naturally, that really bites, but the only other option would have been to make this a two disc set for about another minute of music... HOWEVER, the bright side to this travesty is that the included EXTENDED version of I Wanna Have Some Fun is essentially the album version with about a 10 second spoken intro by Samantha tacked onto the beginning. That's right. I never understood from the days when I bought the original 12" how they could consider 10 seconds extra of spoken intro an EXTENDED version, but that's what the 12" version is. So in other words, the album version IS on here, it just has a spoken intro attached to it (which I actually think may have been on the original 7" version. not sure). So, if you don't mind having a little extra something before you get to the opening beats of the LP version, the extended version should suffice. The only other real gripe is the lack of liner notes. It's pretty minimal. Would have been nice to have some background information as to what bonus tracks were on what single releases. Track list:
1. I Wanna Have Some Fun (edit) 2. Love House 3. Your house or my House 4. Next to Me 5. Ready for this Love 6. Confession 7. I Only Wanna be with You 8. You Started Something 9. One in a Million 10. Walking on Air 11. Hot for You 12. Out of our Hands Bonus tracks 13. Don't Cheat on Me 14. Lovin don't Grow on Trees 15. Now I Lay me Down 16. I Wanna Have Some Fun (extended version) 17. Love House (The Black Pyramid Mix) 18. I Only Wanna Be With You (extended mix)
