Your 12" Extended Mix Favorites?

Wireless200,

The 8:02 extended version of The Perfect Kiss is awesome - including the sound of backing vocals from frogs.....I suspect those frogs also appeared in Wham "Club Tropicana" roughly around the same era...

Here is another treasure with that classic early synth sound .... Saturdays in Silesia - Rational Youth an absolutely awesome extended mix (7:16). The sound of drum fills is just stunning. (This can be found on "Classic Alternative s Vol 4.".

..but I see some others posts that I need to look up from Macdad and Xietchen. (I have those tracks as singles only...now off to find the Extended Version).

Is that the the Howling Mix of The Cult - She sells Sanctuary (8:18)? I hope so - I just bought it.

Slave to the Rhythm (Hot Blooded Mix) - 8:18 - A Trevor Horn masterpiece
(Compass Point Sessions)
Love Song - Simple Minds 5:04 (Classic Alternatives Vol 4.)
Major Tom (Coming Home) - Peter Schilling - 7:58 (Classic Alternatives Vol
4.)
Meet El Presidente (12" Version) - Duran Duran 7:14 (Strange
Behaviour album)
Sound of the Crowd - Human League 6:30 (Human League Original Remixes)
White Wedding - Billy Idol 8:25 (Vital Idol)
Der Kommissar - After The Fire 5:41 - (Richard Blade's Flashback Faves) and
yes this is the real original of what you heard in the clubs with the acoustic
guitar section towards the end. This version was immensely more popular
than the original original Falco version.

All of the above are excellent sounding.

***Stephen 'Tin-Tin' Duffy - Kiss Me *** (just buy it!)

but which version?

I have a couple and the Extended 7:29 is the awesome sounding one with the percussion ( The Mixe Plural Mix 5:30 is not nearly as good, IMHO)

The Mission UK Remix of Janie Lane (Warrant) singing a cover of Cheap Trick's "I want you to want me" 4:58 is a really cool dance cover.

For Bongo fans this Extended Mix starts like a Brazilian carnival and then drifts into a groove a la Bernie Edwards (Chic) style.

From the style I am pretty sure this is Jimmy Maelen playing percussion or it
might have been Bongo Bob. Jimmy played on Roxy Music Avalon as well as a
ton of other famous albums. The Funky drumming is Steve Ferrone (AWB). Sadly Jimmy died in 1988 from leukemia. Amazingly, in less than a decade,
Jimmy played on hundreds of albums, including Roxy Music, Peter Gabriel, James Taylor, Alice Cooper, John Lennon, The Jacksons and Talking Heads. If you follow music from that era perhaps you will recognize his magic touch.

Frederick21,
That is indeed the 7:29 version I have and indeed that 3 CD box set is totally jam packed with gems!!! Thanks.
