you probably don't know this, but it's a killer.
(the band later changed their name to underworld, and went on as a rock band, today rick and karl do electronic music, still named UNDERWORLD): there are 2 12" mixes of riders in the night, the dub mix and the american club mix. can't decide which one is better. you can check the album version here, probably with the help of www.hidemyass.com: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRNYfI3wUDc ps. you might know their song "doot-doot", surprisingly featured Vanilla Sky |

MaxQ, Way of the World 12" Mix:
http://youtu.be/7WCRhSUI8Gg |
Really difficult to just name a few....I've just grapped a stack from my non AV collection of 12" records and listed some of them hereunder...the first one with Yazoo is maybe to me the best original 12" extended mix made ever [wink]
Yazoo - Situation (12") Visage - Fade To Grey (12") Human League - Together In Electric Dreams (12") Soft Cell - Tainted Love (12") Erasure - A Little Respect (12") Visage - Fade To Grey (12") Miko Mission - The World Is Mine (12") Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax (12") Miko Mission - How Old Are You? 12" Koto - Visitors (vocal 12") Madonna - Justify My Love (12") Breakfast Club - Right On Track (12") Talk Talk - It's My Life (12") The Beloved - The Sun Rising (many remixes out there, "Eurovisionary Edit" is one of them) |
Great Willy....just added a few more [smile]
|
Thanks Poul E, but only 80's please [wink]
It's a setlist for a party. Sappy, thanks, it's been a long time since I've heard: |
added a lot more
I suppose you know all about the best remixes from DM and Yazoo [wink] |
A lot of great songs already mentioned,I miss "The Promise" with When in Rome.
|
A very good and comprehensive list there Poul E. Some Duran Duran is surely missing. "The Wild Boys", "The Reflex", "Notorious" and "Girls on Film" are all great 12's.
And the Carnival 12" mix of "Hold Back The Rain" is fucking awesome!!! |
I'm not sure if this is considered a 12', but I love the demo version of Golden Feeling from the Dreamscapes cd! It is 7 minutes long, but the first 4 minutes is an instrumental and then Marian starts singing, but its interesting how different the song is!
|
To add a french touch to your potential list Wii, a nice 12" from Niagara. (Not the official vid).
|
Oh yeah, no need to mention those [smile2]

One of the best 12" ever:
Real Life - Face to Face http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzVFuhzjIoo And not to forget: Eurythmics - Thorn in my Side |
One more:
Men without Hats - Safety Dance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvmZTF_kO4Q The 80s simply had the best remixes! |
I like Ina Gadda da Vida by 16 Bit.

Anne Clark
- sleeper in metropolis - our darkness - heaven - homecoming Bronski Beat - smalltown boy - why? - hit that perfect beat Communards - so cold the night - disenchanted |
I'm new here & quite amazing extended versions on this thread, thanks all for teaching me aswell about the various 80's versions of unbelievable songs.....if I may take add a few what I like to call gems....
Yazoo - State Farm (Extended) Pet Shop Boys - Left To My Own Devices (Trevor Horn Remix Extended) ABC - Look Of Love (USA 1983 Long Version) Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Two Tribes (Carnage Mix) YES - Owner Of A Lonely Heart (Red & Blue Mix) David Bowie - Blue Jean (Jellybean Benitez Mix) Duran Duran - Wild Boys (Arthur Baker Mix) Art Of Noise - Moments In Love (Love Mix) Scritti Politti - Perfect Way (Way Pefect Mix) Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me With Science (Extended) Men Without Hats - Safety Dance (Extended) Taco - Puttin On The Ritz (Extended) C Bank - One More Shot (John Robie Extended) New Order - Subculture (Re-Production Of John Robie Extended) EBN-OZN - AEIOU and Sometimes Y (Extended Version) Sigue Sigue Sputnik - F1-11 (Extended Version) Murray Head - One Night In Bangkok (Extended Chess Version) Prince - Let's Work (Long Version) Bar Kays - Sexomatic (Long Version) Naked Eyes - Promises Promises (Jellybean Long Version) Human League - Fascination (Long Version) Howard Jones - Things Can Only Get Better (Extended) Nena - 99 Red Ballons (Club German Mix) Cindy Lauper - She Bop (Arthur Baker Mix) Yello - I Love You (Extended) Pop Will Eat Itself - Bulletproof (Adrian Sherwood Mix) Giant Steps - The World Don't Need Another Lover (Extended) Pet Shop Boys - Opportunties (Extended) Stephen Duffy - Kiss Me (J.J. Jezalik Remix) Depeche Mode - It's Called A Heart (Extended) Paul Young - Everytime You Go Away (Extended) Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer (Extended) Thompson Twins - We Are Detectives (Extended) Jermaine Stewart - The Word Is Out! (Extended) Chaka Khan - Love Of A Lifetime (Extended) Kraftwerk - Tour De France (Extended) Paul McCartney - Ou Est Le Soleil (Steven Lipson Extended) These are just a few landmark remixes that stand the test of time & give a nice peek into the incredible sounds, productions & forward thinkers of the 80's era,....this is how remixing is done & quite simply how great music is written & played by real musicians, song writers, engineers, programmers, d.j.'s & arrangers,....GOD BLESS THE 80's!!![smile_big] |
Great post Roland! There are some nice picks there and I agree with most of them being fantastic remixes.
Great remixes are rare these days....fewer mixes are made and most of those that are made are overmixed and ruin the songs. OMD is one of very few bands who still release great remixes similar to the way they were mixed in the 80s. |
Thanks Poul e, I have a new 2017 cd of OMD called (THE PUNISHMENT OF LUXURY) have not listen to it yet, will report back my thoughts after a proper listen....
Your 110% correct, remixes have fallen off the map, overmixed & undermined to completely destroy a songs melody, hook & arrangement...i venture back to the 60's, 70's, 80's & 90's mostly for my music & 80's for sure the most explosive & exciting period when technology mixed with seasoned musicians & trained vocalist were in stiff competition with one another trying to out do each other with not just one or two songs (LIKE these boring artist do today) but entire albums of amazing songs in there own right before a 80's well thought out remix with a life of its own made said song even better,....hell, Frankie Goes To Hollywood remixes cost Ztt Records more money than most other artist full albums,..... Lastly, how could I forget too add to my 12inch singles list... OMD - Forever (Live & Die) (Extended Potoker Mix) |
Try this Roland:
OMD - History of modern (part 1) - OMDs Extended Remix |
Will do....thanks:-)

great song [smile] |
By now, the series of CDs I bought regarding '80s 12" mixes might be long out of print, from what I've seen in Amazon's marketplace, but if you can get a hold of any of the seven volumes of RETRO:ACTIVE, they have a great mix of stuff in there!
Some you recognize, others not so much, and others even I never knew existed. Yes, there's some AV in a couple of those volumes, too. "Jet Set" (Jellybean Mix) is on #2, and I believe "Romeos" (Balcony Mix) is on #3. |
This one for me long long ago
there is also a 12-minute mix on you tube. The promise / Away Away. https://youtu.be/b9Gsq3piQfY |
