The Albion remix is incredibly solid, with Ferry adapting some of his production techniques and effects from the famed Air track to really give it a new feel.
|

Heartbeat is pretty much a remake of What Time Is Love by The KLF, as has been stated, with direct samples from the original. Not a bad interpretation though, and I assume the lads must've been flattered, as they put it on their "What Time Is Love Story" LP.

Underrated champions of the "Sasha needs a 14 minute record to throw on so he can leave the booth and go for a pint" epic house / trance sound.

Side A is euro cheese with a bit of restraint, not bad. Side B though has an actually quite good remix by Pacific Link, though it seems to bite off a bit from the original Guitar mix of Children by Robert Miles. The Cool mix is an okay breaks version,...

The version of "I Love You" here is slightly different to the album version that was also used as the US single. The part before the vocals come in is slightly longer, some other parts are re-edited a bit, the mixing has some more emphasis on the high...

I've seen three copies come through one shop alone in the US, so I doubt the 2000 run as well
|

Witness The Change is a fantastic B-side, and worth the price of admission alone

I've seen multiple copies of this show up in the US in a generic sleeve, was there some distribution back in the day of that?
|
|
Will add my voice to the choir and agree with others that the B-side Rendezvous is very good
|
|
Curious to hear this myself, anyone with a copy can confirm?
|
|
Thank you for writing possibly the greatest deep dive in Discogs history.
|
|
If anyone in the US is trying to sell this, lmk
|
|
A side is an early fade clocking around 3:32 instead of the four minute album version. Not that it loses much as it fades out during an instrumental section.
|
|
If anyone has a copy for sale in the US, lmk, trying to complete my set.

There is no perfect pressing, the CDs have sound that probably came from DAT, but are missing one or two songs, depending on if you got a UK or US version. The UK vinyl versions from the 90s have all the tracks, but have too much cut music cut on each...

Good sounding for a styrene single, but about 27 seconds of Paul's guitar intro is completely cut out here. Why? Was 3:47 too long for a pop single?
Based on someone else's comment and the track timings for the UK releases, I think the same edit was... See full review |
|
The first beat is slightly cut off here. Also, it's cut loud and pretty distorted, but not the worst that styrene has to offer.
|
|
It's also about 20 seconds shorter than the "Single Remix" that showed up as a bonus track on the Pleasure Victim reissue. It's the same track, just faded out earlier.
|
|
The B Side, Heroin, is the "Needle Park" mix. Really strange to put an ambient mix like that on a B-side for jukeboxes, must've been a quick way to clear out any bar with one in it.
|
|
Both tracks run slightly faster than the album versions, which isn't too weird for a single, however both are noticeably deeper in pitch than the album versions, especially "Going Under", which is a full half-step down. Perhaps these "Dance Velocity"...

The label on the A side is correct, it's the full length LP version of The Plastic Age. I actually kind of prefer the unique edit used in other territories that nix the ambient intro that works more as an album opener than a single, and instead starts...

Strange little record. Two tracks on each side, one of them even being a 12 inch remix.
Technically a single, but essentially an EP by 7 inch standards. Plays at 33 1/3 with a little over 10 minutes on Side A, and a little under 10 minutes on Side B.... See full review |

Picked up a second hand copy, seems to look in decent condition, but it's rendered almost unlistenable due to the noise in the left channel. Styrene strikes again!
|

|
As for now having a copy, this a really well put together set. Good sound (as good as these lofi-ish tracks can sound on wax), basically just the 1996 vinyl release remastered with an extra disc of some of the CD tracks thrown on. Only gripes are the...

Is the short version on Side A the UK remix?
|
|
13 minute remix with a intro clocking in just over four minutes, god bless Sasha (and whoever was helping him twiddle the knobs in the studio at the time)
|
|
Don't have a copy, but doing some quick math, 31 minutes on Side A. No way that can sound good.
|
|
Right, it should go under the Sound of the Crowd master release no question, it just seems like such a bizarre way for the single to be released north of the border
|
|
Same, it's not the worst sounding cut ever, but it's noticably worse than the rather good sounding Cars
|
|
Styrene 7" + Most of the drums being in the left channel = Some pretty nasty noise in the right channel throughout the first two thirds of the track, though it clears up once the drums become centered
|
|
Almost six minutes on (what seems like) styrene. Sounds pretty good though if you can get past the prerequisite distortion.
|
|
Multiples copies I've seen seem to having varying levels of skipping, must've been cut too hot. A shame cause the tracks are outstanding.
|
|
Everyone brings up how Charlie May essentially remade the Gargantuan mix with Sasha as Xpander, but has anyone ever posited the High Velocity mix sounding a bit like Save A Prayer by Duran Duran?
|
|
Yeah the 12" version has it's share of weird edits (out of order and repeated counting?), kind of a shame
|
|
Big C remix seems to sample Go by Moby with those chords in the intro. Pretty good track though.
|
|
This could've been a hit in the states if it got an actual single release
|
|
Borderline a remake, if you ask me word word words
|
|
I guess the reviews below show the mixes as being divisive, but everyone seems to agree that at least some of the mixes here are high grade.

A caustic figure to say the least, however I do genuinely he was fucked over by music exec suits, though how much of his vitriolic hatred slung towards his former bandmates is actually true seems impossible to prove or disprove.
Still, his input to... See full review |

Outstanding version of Don't You Want Me by Felix here, with samples of The Excorcist 3 thrown in there.
The Halcyon edit doesn't make much sense thematically, but it's on okay short edit of the 12" version with a DJ friendly drum intro and outro.... See full review |

Cover states Dolby S noise reduction, Side A of the shell states Dolby S noise reduction, Side B of the shell states Dolby B noise reduction. Guessing it's a misprint and it is indeed Dolby S.

There's probably someone missing a copy of their Negativland LP driving around a car with a Car Bomb bumper sticker on it
