Posted: 19 October 2013 at 6:47pm | IP Logged There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past. 5 (1994).įor the vinyl LP version, go with Arista's Perfect 10 Rides Again (1985).įor the CD-era LP version, I'm going to recommend a CD that I don't have - Jive's Best Of, although any of the digital clones I listed should work just fine.Įdited by crapfromthepast on 18 October 2013 at 7:06pm Oops! Avoid.įor the 45 version, go with Rhino's Just Can't Get Enough Vol. 1 (1992) has the CD-era LP version, but ends prematurely at the 4:29 break. Simitar's Number Ones The '80s (1998 differently EQ'd digital clone of Cema disc)Īll of the above sound pretty good, except where noted.įinally, Sony Germany's 2-CD Pop And Wave Vol.Universal's Retro Lunchbox Squeeze The Cheeze (1997 differently EQ'd digital clone of Cema disc).Razor & Tie's Back To The '80s (1994 sounds very close to the Cema disc but is about 3 dB louder and clips a bit avoid).1 (1994 differently EQ'd digital clone of Cema disc) 4 New Wave Hits (1994 sounds great here likely a digital clone of Best Of) Cema's cheapie Greatest Hits Of The '80s Vol.1 1982-1983 (1999 digitally exactly 1 dB louder than Rock Of The '80s)Īlso based on track length, I'd say that these 5:03-ish versions all use the same analog transfer as Best Of: 1 (1992 sounds pretty good here - no obvious clipping (a problem with the later discs), but the waveform in the L channel clips a bit on the bottom, likely due to a bad A-to-D converter) I don't have either one.īased on track length (and with a good working history of the Priority discs), I'd say that the following are based on the Jive A Flock Of Seagulls CD: All of these include the 5:06 version with the noodly intro. ![]() The noodly-intro 5:06 version simply didn't exist back in 1982, when the song was a hit.ĭiscogs shows the release date for Jive's A Flock Of Seagulls CD as 1987, and for Jive's Best Of CD as 1986 for Europe and 1991 for the US. I think this may still be the only place to find it.įor the CD era, the true LP version was completely replaced with the 5:06 version that has the noodly synth intro for the first 40 seconds. The disc is a little quiet, and has about 6 dB of headroom on this track, but sounds just fine. This LP version is found on Arista's Perfect 10 Rides Again (1985). The true LP version, appearing on the vinyl LP, runs 3:57 and starts with the same opening cymbal hit as the 45. The 45 version on swaitek's 50-CD promo set The A List Disc 14 (1994) is from vinyl, and is probably from a TM Century disc - avoid.
