2.0 out of 5 stars Extended Long Play Club Versions MY BOOOTY!!!!, August 20, 2005

By

This review is from: World of Dance - The 80's (Extended Long Play Club Versions) (Audio CD)

Someone must not be dealing with a full deck! Whaddoyamean by "Extended Long Play Club Versions"? Do you call You Keep Me Hangin' On by Kim Wilde clocking in at 4:12 an "Extended Long Play Club Version"? Let me let you in on a secret: that song in it's "Extended Long Play Club Version" form clocked in at over 9 MINUTES!!! Ok, now for Lovergirl by Teena Marie coming in at 4:45 Close but no dice! That song clocks in at over 5 minutes. This is probally the Album version which I liked better but THAT is not the point! How about You Dropped a Bomb on Me by The Gap Band? While 5:13 may be long this ain't the "Extended Long Play Club Version". No surree-bob! "The Extended Long Play Club Version" clocks in at...get this; 13 MINUTES AND 5 SECONDS. I used to own the 12" record. Not only that it has sirens, airplanes and machine guns in it. I called this version The War-Time version while I called the 5 minute album version The Peace-Time version! Ok now Word Up by Cameo - unfortunately - IS the 12" version! I oughtta give this review ONE STAR over that! Everybody Dance by Tamara and the Scene NEVER had an "Extended Long Play Club Version" this is the LP version! Ok, I see that In My House by the Mary Jane Girls is the 12" version. Now as for the Glamorous Life by Shelia E, technically this is not an "Extended Long Play Club Version" but is WAS the 12" version which was a Club-Edit of the album version. By "Club-Edit" it is meant that this version was edited not so much as for shortening the song but "re-arranging" it's structure to make it more "Club appealing". So in all truth, this, being the 12" version, appears is it's full lenght! As for C'mon Get my Love by Cathy Dennis with DMob, this is NOT the full version which clocks in over 7 minutes! The David Morales mix would have been great to have on here...I'm dreamin'!

Oh, and as for Grace Jones' Pull Up To the Bumber. There is a reviewer who cites that the 12" version is on this compilation. Well I hate to bust your bubble but that is not so. There were 3 different 12" mixes. The two that came out in 1982 do not sound like the snippet you hear here on Amazon! One of those mixes was an instrumental dub mix! Ok now the popular 12" mix that was out stated out with just the beat. Then Jones comes in with "Walking down those city streets..." At this point it is only here vocal and the beat. As she progresses into the first verse the bass comes up and a and maybe another instrument but the music is still minimal, not fully up as you hear on the snippet. Ok, so what was the third 12" mix? That version came out in 1985 and it had a different overall mix quality to it. The version on this compilation is in fact the LP version.

All in all, however; this is a great collection of dance songs that were popular in the 80's but if you're looking for the remixed 12" versions of most of what is on here, you won't find them here except for songs 7, 8 and 10

rebound NEVER comes through completely with their promise. there is barely a 12" version on this volume, as with most, and a number of 12" edits. Track times are:

1. don't you want me (5:35) (remix edit)

2. the right stuff (4:28)

3. c'mon and get my love (3:51)

4. you keep me hanging on (4:12)

5. lovergirl (4:45)

6. pull up to the bumper (5:48)

7. the glamorous life (6:38) (The 12" edit, not the full album version)

8. in my house (5:01)

9. everybody dance (5:44)

10. word up (6:02)

11. you dropped a bomb on me (5:13)

12. solid (5:06) (album version with the acapella intro-not the 12" version)

finally grace jones "pull up to the bumper" the 12 inch version on cd!, Sheila E also in the long version.Not all the songs are ok, but for this price you should buy it only for Grace Jones & Sheila E.
