ANY live version of Vanishing Point, wherever it comes from, it would be great!

Plus an unreleased version of 'Don't Do It':

And some work in progress versions of 'Vanishing Point':

Not to mention the 'other' version of 'Vanishing Point' with totally different lyrics and vocals (lyrics available on this site somewhere).

Ooh, ooh, I've actually got a copy of that on CD. The story was (and don't tell anyone 'cos I used to be a copper, and my "source" is still a copper) my mate's mate is a decorator who did Barney's house in '88/'89, and he nicked a copy of the demo tape they did in Ibiza. It's a bit sketchy, but well worth a listen if you're a bit of an anorack like me.

As I said on the Vanishing Point v Mr Disco thread, I would like to hear someone record a 3-minute mix and a 8-minute mix of Vanishing Point. I believe it is possible to record a radio edit of this song, but I don't have the software at the moment to attempt to do so myself.

Also, are you gentlemen aware that there was an extra 12" single of Round & Round featuring two Kevin Saunderson 'Detroit' remixes and Best & Marsh?

There already is a radio edit of Vanishing Point, done by Chris Lord-Alge back in 89 and unreleased.

The same guy who claimed he was given a copy at Real World in 1989, and who flogged it on eBay???

I think Fine Line wasn't mentioned before?!

It was on the Fine Time 12 inch vynil.

Furthermore I'd like to have all of the other official Fine Time remixes (3!?), the b-side Don't Do It and ofcourse the official Round & Round remixes (5!?) the b-side Best & Marsh in 7 inch & 12 inch version. Vanishing Point Instrumental Making Out Mix.

Maybe I'm asking too much if I want the complete Run 2 EP, but I think indeed the masters of that one no longer exist. If it still exist, I want Run2 & Run2 (Extended Version) [FUCK JOHN DENVER!!! He's dead by now for 10 years!!!], MTO & MTO (Minus Mix). To make ends meet: The Happy One

If there's space left on the bonus disc (which I think is maybe the case), then fill it in with the 7 inch versions of Fine Time & Round & Round, but it's not very necessary because we have these 2 songs already on some compilations.

Ofcourse London Records must go for the master tapes and do NO VYNIL RIPS like other labels so often do!

:clap:

Of course the masters still exist for Run2, no reason not. All that happens with either Run or Run2 is that John Denver gets a writing credit.

yep. don't think i've ever seen a live version available anywhere and it's my favorite song from Technique. :clap:

The version of the Happy One that Hooky played on OSM was much better than the version on Excerpts.

A studio version of this would be fucking great.

Fine Time 12"version (FAC223/A1) is a little bit special. It and Album version/7"version are different.

imo, i think they should just try to include "EXCLUSIVE" or HARD TO FIND tracks, but i don't think it'll ever happen. so, what's the use in complaining. we can't always get what we want :lol:
