Alphaville Forum - The Dreamroom - View Single Post - Romeos versions mystery

I collect all the versions of a song, not necessarily all the formats on which it was released. In order to get all the different versions of a song, I have to find out what those versions are, and where they can be found. Thank goodness for Discogs, because that site collects information about every release of just about anything.

So, for Alphaville, and Romeos in particular, there are many versions to keep track of, and I try to get them all. And I also do the same for such bands as Depeche, Erasure, and Pet Shop Boys, just to name a few bands that put out even more versions of songs than Alphaville.

I have the ability to record from vinyl, and even to clean up recordings from vinyl (although the results can be disappointing, sometimes).

Now, if I can just get my hands on the Radio Edit of Romeos...
