Which CD has the "Round and Round" 12" Version?

I searched through the discography on NOOL and thought I found it - I knew it wasn't the detroit mix, or the club mix, or any of the dubs- it's the 12" Vocal version, the first track on my US 12" Vinyl. NOT "Round & Remix" - but the 3" CD maxisingle I just got had the club mixes on it RATS.

So please help - where can I find that 12" version on CD? It's the one where Barney adds backup vocals for the chorus - he backs himself up with a higher harmony. My Vinyl is getting old and I'd like a digital update!

(BTW I thought it might be on the 4-track US promo CD, but someone sniped me for it on ebay, curse you!)

I think I know the one you mean, it's the Stephen Hague 12" version. It kind of starts with a delicate synth melody and a fast hi-hat line. Here's some information courtesy of the New Order Discography site(http://www.niagara.edu/neworder/) it's always the best place begin looking for detailed NO release info (aside from NOOL ;)):

CD5: UK 1989 (Factory FACD 263) 3:59 Round & Round (seven inch version) 5:10 Vanishing Point (instrumental making out mix) 6:50 Round & Round (twelve inch version) 3:31 Best & Marsh (seven inch version)

CD5: US 1989 (Qwest PRO-CD-3463) [promo] 3:59 Round & Round (7" version) 3:47 Round & Round (edit) 6:50 Round & Round (12" version) 6:53 Round & Round (12" remix)

Basically the mix you're after exists as track #3 on both the UK Round & Round CD single (5") and the US Promo CD. It also exists on International Disc 2, but that's an EU release so if you're in the States you might not be able to get your hands on it so easily. There is some debate as to whether the International Disc 2 is remastered as well. Personally I think it is because the songs sound pristine. I own all 3 discs with the mix although my US Promo CD is scratched a little bit :cry:

Your best bet would be to keep watching eBay. UK Round & Round CD singles pop up all the time on there. I picked up my copy just a few months ago after getting sick of the MP3s.

Jahn, i have an extra copy of the CD single if you have something to trade ie. 7"s or the CD single for EGG.

Yeah, I have it on the 3", my fave version of R&R in fact. And while we're on the subject of Round & Round, does the avatar look familiar? ;)

Thanks everyone - I'll check out that link when i get home (cant listen to tracks at work) and confirm that that is the one. If it's a clean version on international 2, i'll just have to hold out and scour for it!

Edit - it looks like International 2 only has this version of Round and Round on it -

Round & Round (7inch)

which wouldn't be the one. now i'm really mad that i got sniped on that promo (which i guess DOES have that track on it)

i'll do a bit more research before trying that UK import single and hope track 3 is the one I'm thinking of! just fyi, is that link above the same as the track 3 12" version?

Is there a CD version of the Ben Gross mix?

I don't remember...

i think a better route to go is to pick up a cheap/used turntable and find yourself a copy of the 12". you could find it on ebay pretty easilly, and once in a while in used record bins. plus starting up your very own NO vinyl collection is lots of fun :thumb:

Yep I have a turntable and the vinyl of this mix - but it's scratchtastic! I'd like a nice clean copy of this.

Is the Ben Grosse Mix known as the Detroit Mix? Because it's on the 3" CD - the one that plays the beat backwards, right? I have that on vinyl too - the one with the big question mark on the spindle label.

Edit - btw if the Ben Grosse mix is NOT the Detroit Mix, then here's a CD promo that released it as the "Ben Grosse Mix"-

Now there's a question that I wouldn't mind answering! :D

Always assumed that the "Club Mix" is the "Ben Gross Mix" (i.e. the one on the 12" promo), but never bothered to get it to double check.

Edit: Answered my own question.

On the UK 3" CD single (Facd263r), the tracks are as follows:

  1. Round & Round (Club Mix) [mixed by Ben Grosse & Kevin Saunderson] (7:09)
  2. Round & Round (Twelve Inch Mix) [mixed by Ben Grosse] (6:51)
  3. Round & Round (Detroit Mix) [mixed by Kevin Saunderson] (6:28)

Which replicates the tracks of that 12" promo (Fac263dj)! :thumb:

BTW folks, that link to the original 12" version posted above is the one I'm talking about - great, now I know exactly what to hunt for! BTW that quality of that rip sounds like my vinyl- scratchy poppy and skippy lol.

BTW how funny is that, that the CD i bought of Round and Round has all the extended remixes BUT that mix? curses!

In which case, that mix is on any of the following:

CD5: AU 1989 (Factory/CBS FACD 263) CD5: AU 1990 (Factory/Festival D10141) CD3: GE 1989 (Rough Trade RTDCD 050) CD5: UK 1989 (Factory FACD 263) 3:59 Round & Round (seven inch version) 5:10 Vanishing Point (instrumental making out mix) 6:50 Round & Round (twelve inch version) 3:31 Best & Marsh (seven inch version)

CD5: US 1989 (Qwest PRO-CD-3463) [promo] 3:59 Round & Round (7" version) 3:47 Round & Round (edit) 6:50 Round & Round (12" version) 6:53 Round & Round (12" remix)

CD5: JP 1989 (Factory/Nippon Columbia CY-5024) 6:50 Round & Round (twelve inch) 7:07 Round & Round (club mix) 6:28 Round & Round (detroit mix) 3:31 Best & Mash (seven inch) [misspelled on disc]

Take your pick! :)

Edit: and also on the Canadian CD single:

CD5: CA 1989 (PolyGram 874 079-2) 3:54 Round & Round 6:50 Round & Round (Extended Version) 4:32 Best & Marsh 7:07 Round & Round (the club mix) 6:29 Round & Round (the detroit mix)

(mislabelled on this CD - TLV's discog also states the time as 6:39 - should read 6:50) :)

And there's one cheaper here

No, the Club mix & the Ben Grosse mix are 2 different ones Nick.

I have the canadian CD5 featuring the club mix, and I assure you it's not the same mix and one Sebastien has on his 12" he bought....

In fact, the Ben Gross mix is the 12" Remix from the UK 12" and is 6:51 (and you can listen to it here, while the club mix is different and can be listened to, nowhere it seems as I haven't done it yet.

So you have the 12" Version at 6:50, and the 12" Remix (or called Ben Grosse Remix on the UK 12") at 6:51

And I checked, the 12" remix is ONLY on the *US* CD...

I may be wrong but isn't track two on the UK CD 3" Round & Remix also the Ben Grosse Remix, as found in the New Order Discogrophy. It states a time of 6:52, however I think thats it.

CD3: AU 1989 (Factory/CBS FACD 263R) * CD3: AU 1990 (Factory/Festival D10148) * CD3: UK 1989 (Factory FACD 263R) * 7:10 Round & Round (club mix) 6:52 Round & Round (twelve inch mix) 6:28 Round & Round (detroit mix)

I just dug out my 3" CD and it is indeed the following:

On the UK 3" CD single (Facd263r), the tracks are as follows:

  1. Round & Round (Club Mix) [mixed by Ben Grosse & Kevin Saunderson] (7:09)
  2. Round & Round (Twelve Inch Mix) [mixed by Ben Grosse] (6:51)
  3. Round & Round (Detroit Mix) [mixed by Kevin Saunderson] (6:28)

None of which are the 6:50 "12" Version" that I just ordered from the link above. Ironic that that is the one i like the best.

Anyhow, it looks like "2. Round & Round (Twelve Inch Mix) [mixed by Ben Grosse] (6:51)" is what folks call the "Ben Grosse Mix" so I guess it's on CD after all.

I suppose the "Extended Version" is essentially the same as the "Original 12" even though there is five seconds more on the "Extended Version".

R&R mixes and remixes were always the hardest to keep up with!

Yup, it is on the UK 3" CD, though as well - track 2, as posted above (as both Jahn and Lake Effect have stated)! :)

Another thing I don't have...

Most of the time, the time listed in the Discography is the time shown on the label - unless it differs "too much". I don't recall if the CA CD5 has tracktimes on the sleeve, but that could be the reason for this entry...

That's because Jahn bought it! :)

There's some more FACD263 CD singles here, here and here.

These are the UK 5" CD single, and not the 3" CD single with the 3 mixes on it.
