It's a totally unique version. The first half is the 1982 7" version but when the 7" version fades out, this one kind of starts again.
So, the 'first half' of the track is effectively nothing more than the
original single version from 1982?
I first thought it was simply a cut and paste job but there are definitely parts in there which are different from the first half of the track.
Ah, but are they different to the parts which have been subsequently released elsewhere?
It's a shame this version hasn't been released onto CD as of yet.
Why is it a shame? From what you've said, it's effectively the original single version with some other bits added on after a fade-out. It sounds to me that the other extended versions of
Endlessly which have been released (on
The Golden Section and
Metadelic) are far more coherent.
I have digitised my vinyl version so let me know when you want it to verify.
I should also be getting my copy of the
Megamix album digitised - but until then I'd certainly appreciate hearing your copy.
I may be jumping the gun here, but it sounds like this version was ditched simply
because it's first half did nothing other than repeat the
original single version.
