Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx Endlessly Endlos

ah Ok .. hadn't spotted the "12" versions" section .. presumably there is also the 7.40 version of Endlessly (track 8?)..

I'm tempted to get the old gramophone out such for the sake of playing this.

but wait! Here's the video which lasts approx 3 and half mins ... hurrah!

Somewhere I've got that version already digitised - I'll dig it out and post a definitive answer.



Of course...

Never trust label type. Always digitize your records and check the timing in your wave editor!

I blogged about this phenomenon several years ago here:

Super glad to see that it wasn't forgotten when the time came to compile "Metadelic!"

I'm wondering about What Kind Of Girl... there isn't an extended version of that as far as I know.

Does an edited version exist on one of the singles...?

The version of What Kind Of Girl which appeared on the twelve inch version of Stars On Fire is different (as opposed to extended) to the one which appeared on the In Mysterious Ways album. The seven inch version is the same as the twelve inch version.

I only came on here this evening to see if there's a Brighton meeting place / watering hole arranged for Friday!

It's now half-past midnight and you've got me at it too!

I've just got my FoxxVoxBox of singles out to check times on record deck and came across my German single disc edition (with promo insert) of Endlessly b/w Your Dress. Label info on this release also gives running time as 4:18. Cat No. is 105 748

The answer to the what's missing from the 3:35 version is... one "aaaahhhh" segment and the "When she walks out, she's illuminous" ending.

The 4:18 version has a full 5 "aaaahhhh's" followed by the "When she walks out..." bit whereas the 3:35 version begins to fade at the beginning of "aaaahhhh" number 4.

Can I go to bed now?

Aaaaaargh!

OK, so the one of Metadelic is - as I thought - 'just' the regular version from the seven and twelve inch singles

We need to differentiate this in the discography etc as a 'single version' .

Or something. Meh...

I remember posting on this subject some time ago. I remember the B-side version of What Kind Of Girl having a different start to the album version. I was informed that the beginning was edited and so began differently.
