List Your Exceptional 12 Inch Mixes

Also.... the first 12" of Big Audio Dynamite's "The Bottom Line" & "BAD" have a special place in my heart!
NOT the 'stripped down' Rick Rubin versions!

 

I always refer to this as the "Under Water" version.

 

First one to come to mind is the Peter Tosh with Mick Jagger Don't Look Back/Don't Space Out 12-inch, wish that was on CD.

And those Stones' Too Much Blood remixes too!

 

Don't just think about it, play it and dance! It's an awesome Brit soul gem!! Then play Oh Louise to relax.

 

Exceptional sound, great extended mix of Thompson Twins Runaway from '82

 

Also nice to see some modern extended mixes also
Marsheaux-To The End 2014

 

Altered Images - I Could Be Happy

 

Another great 80s 12 - about the loudest record I had ever heard when I first bought it.

 

Wasn't there a kind-a Thompson Twins 'medley' (ala "Stars On 45") on a B-side of a 12"?
If I remember correctly, it was called "Out Of The Gap"....

 

Yeah Vince, it's on the 84 UK Sister of Mercy 12 inch 45

 

I know I have posted in these threads before but here are a few that come to mind:
Simple Minds/See the Lights (12" Version)
Ian McCulloch/Proud to Fall (Long Night's Journey Mix)
Brian Eno/Fractal Zoom (Mary's Birthday Mix by Moby)
INXS/New Sensation (Nick 12" Mix)
Peter Gabriel/Big Time (Dance Mix)
Icehouse/No Promises (US Dance Mix)

 

Bob Marley - Jammin' 12" was always a favorite of mine.

I second The Rolling Stones' Miss You

There's also a 12" mix of "Funky Dividens" by Three Times Dope that I really love. I forget the exact name of the mix (it's on a 12" single with several versions)

 

Well, then.... while we're on the subject of TT;
I'll never forget, hearing "Lay Your Hands On Me" when my radio station played the import version. THEN, the US release had some 'rock' guitars all over it!
Blah.... I thought to myself!

 

Yes, it's on the 2-CD 'Ultimate Prince' set, along with several other 12" versions. Here are a few other long versions of Prince tracks that have NOT yet appeared on CD to my knowledge. Most of these are straight unedited versions of a song that was edited for the LP/45 release (as opposed to being a remix):

America (21:46 full version - already mentioned upthread)
Pop Life (UK 12" which runs 9:07 and, unlike the US 12" (which has a remix of sorts), is the true unedited LP track that is a serious joy to listen to.
Another Lonely Christmas (6:46 full version - has a verse not on the 45)
♥ or $ (6:50 full version. To my knowledge, this song has not been released on CD - either the 45 edit or the 12")
Mountains (9:56 full version. This song has been slightly remixed from the LP, but has a really cool 6-minute instrumental part at the end)
Escape (6:25 full version - extra instrumental sections)
Sexy Dancer (8:53 full version - lots of stuff edited out of the LP version)
Paisley Park (7:07 UK 12" - slightly remixed from the LP, but has lots of cool guitar all over a dreamy, nautical sounding backing)
La, La, La He, He Hee (10:45 full version - just keeps going on and on, with a nice breakdown at the end)
Anotherloverholenyohead (7:52 full version - slightly remixed from the LP, with added horns. Again, has a nice breakdown at the end, including having the song end like the live version found on the video)
Girl (7:34 full version - another track that was faded early for the 45, losing close to four minutes of extra music in the process)
God (instrumental) (7:55 - not an instrumental version of the B-side of Purple Rain, but an entirely different recording that was featured as background music in the film. This was only on the UK 12" single.)

There's a few others that I haven't listed, but right there is over 110 minutes of really cool, officially released Prince 12" singles that are STILL not available on a CD in 2016!

 

I haven't heard this but the Medicine Show / A Party 12 inch is brilliant.

White Lion - Wait
Heart and Stevie Nicks have some very good extended versions that fit the OP criteria.

Pat

 

Is that Ron Jeremy?

 

Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Two Tribes (Annihilation)" is five times better than the 7" or (especially) album mixes.

 

Bowie - John I'm Only Dancing (Again). Until the Ryko/EMI reissue of YA in the 90s, the full version was only available on the 1978 12" single. The 7" almost edited out the best bit of it - the 'dancing... Dancing' coda.

 

Was this every released as a promo or commercially?
